Several festival sites lay claim to possessing the most beautiful locations – The Secret Garden, Skye, Oban and Dunstaffage, and of course the ley-lined stone circled Glastonbury greenfelds - but Rockness, especially on a day as cloud free and ideally tempered as last Saturday, would give any of these a run for their money as its valley gently lopes towards the lapping edges of Loch Ness with all its promise of myth and monster.

T in the Park History of a top music festival

From its beginnings at Strathclyde Country Park in 1994 to the triumphant Tenth Year celebrations at Balado in 2003, T in the Park has grown in size and influence to become one of the most important and critically acclaimed music events on the UK and European festival scenes, and is firmly established as Scotland’s most popular weekend out.

Now attracting over 55,000 music fans from Scotland, the UK, and beyond each day, T in the Park is consistently a sell out success. This popularity can be attributed to the festival’s unique atmosphere, legendary crowd, and one of the most exciting line-ups in Europe – with over 120 artists over 2 days and across 8 stages, from the finest homegrown talent to major international artists such as REM, Oasis, Foo Fighters and Radiohead.
