T in the Park is a major Scottish music festival, held annually since 1994. It is named after its main sponsor, Tennents. It was originally held at Strathclyde Park, and since 1997 has been held at Balado, Perth & Kinross in an disused airfield.



Acts appearing in the opening year included Primal Scream, Oasis, Crash Test Dummies, Blur and The Manic Street Preachers. Cypress Hill were scheduled to close the show (but were delayed in customs) and they shared the stage with Rage Against the Machine.

The following year the festival sold out, with Kylie Minogue, The Prodigy, Alanis Morissette, Black Grape and Supergrass playing in blazing sunshine and high temperatures.

In 1996 Radiohead, Pulp and No Doubt played. In 1997 it moved to its present site of Balado, Kinross when local developers wanted to use Strathclyde Park for other purposes.

Since moving it has expanded in size with a mix of bands such as Travis, Texas, Green Day, Foo Fighters, Garbage, Moby, Iggy Pop, Stereophonics, REM, The Proclaimers, The Darkness, Idlewild, Muse, The Polyphonic Spree, and The Chemical Brothers.

In recent years, the festival has shared much of its lineup with Oxegen, which is on the same weekend, but in County Kildare, Ireland. Acts usually play T in the Park one day and Oxegen the next, or vice versa....
