T In The Park, One Love Festival both moving house
By Aly Barchi | Published on Wednesday 25 June 2014
Scottish pop/rock festival T In The Park is set to move to a new site for its 2015 edition. T’s present base in Balado, Kinross, where the event has taken place every year since 1997, sits above a major oil pipeline which is apparently causing its organisers DF Concerts ongoing problems.
This year’s T In The Park will still go ahead at the Balado location on 11-13 Jul, despite “substantial concern”, reports The Scotsman, expressed by local health and safety executives. Nearby Stirling and Loch Lomond are being tipped as potentials for the new site, which will apparently be officially revealed later today.
Also on the move, though not because of any dodgy oil pipes, but rather to “absorb growth”, is this year’s One Love. The reggae-weekender-with-camping-facilities, which is happening between 15-17 Aug, is setting off for a new, bigger address at Springfield Farm in Milton Keynes, only ten mins drive away from its old post at Stockwell Farm.
A confirmation on the One Love site states: “At Stockwell Farm (our old venue) we were really struggling with where to put everything and everybody! So we came to the conclusion that a change of site would be necessary to see the festival grow and protect the future of the genre”.
