T in the Park boss says he's learnt 'massive lessons' from last year's festival

The boss of T In the Park has told Newsbeat he's learnt "massive lessons" from last year's festival.

After the site moved to Perthshire's Strathallan Castle in 2015, there were complaints about crowd safety, traffic congestion and anti-social behaviour.

"Moving a festival, that's one of the biggest in the world, is a difficult feat," says director Geoff Ellis.

"We listened to all the customer comments. We got a lot of them and we've acted on what people told us."

T was forced to move from Balado after 18 years because of health and safety concerns over an oil pipe system running under the site.

But the first year on new turf caused problems, including complaints that security lacked knowledge of the site.

The main stage has moved to be more accessible and, as Geoff Ellis describes it, is in a "much better position".

One of the aims is to reduce the amount of bottlenecks across the site.

This is the map of the T in the Park site.

"We didn't get things right the last year and we're the first to admit that," he says.

"This year's a different year and I think people will see a big transition from last year and will hopefully enjoy a fantastic weekend."

The King Tut Wah Wah Tent has moved to be closer to the castle and the whole site has expanded by about 30%.

Outside the arena, Geoff Ellis says new access roads and separate tracks for buses and cars will ease traffic congestion and cause less disruption to the local community.

There's also a new bus depot, designed to ship people off the site more efficiently.

Geoff says they've "ripped up the entire traffic management plan".

This year's festival is headlined by the Stone Roses, Calvin Harris and Red Hot Chili Peppers.
