Organisers confirm no plans for T in the Park festival to return
- Published
The organisers of T in the Park have confirmed the event will not return, after a fake profile on social media claimed it was making a comeback.
The music festival ran between 1994 and 2016, with the majority of events held at Balado airfield in Kinross.
An account on X, formerly known as Twitter, with the name TITPofficial posted a message stating "Guess who's back #TinthePark2026".
But organisers DF Concerts have now stated there is no truth to the posts.
A spokesperson for the company told BBC Scotland News that "the profile is fake and is in no way associated with T in the Park."
The X account had claimed that "we're back" and promised further announcements in the future, with the posts then being shared hundreds of times on the social media platform.
The popular festival welcomed headline acts such as Oasis, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rihanna and Coldplay during its existence.
However the 2017 edition was cancelled after a spate of problems with the 2016 event, where two gig-goers passed away amid reports of continual fighting and traffic problems.

DF Concerts have since organised the TRNSMT festival on Glasgow Green every July.
In 2019 DF Concerts CEO Geoff Ellis said that T In The Park would never return.
He stated at the time: "It was an amazing festival, but it ran its course."
TRNSMT festival is now held on Glasgow Green every summer
