Kinross ran like a dream. Was never going to last at strathallan to many problems, I'm sure after a year out it will be back, brings too much revenue to not happen, although I saw talks of a 3 day festival in Glasgow (non camping) |

Kinross is unsafe something to do with a pipe or something, I remember seeing it on the news, the only place I can think is Ayr, there's loads of room up there lol, a three day festival would be good, a few of my pals went to that radio 1 big weekend in Glasgow they said it was brilliant and no trouble |

Ned in the park more like, full of arseholes and fights wi people who can't handle their drink or other stuff. Good riddance to it. Though DF are putting forward plans to do a three day T non camping festival on Glasgow green for a more mature crowd, keep the young uns away. Might be a bit safer and nearer, and get some decent acts, rather than some of the pop Shite that's been on in recent years |

I went twice, and would never go again. Constantly stepping over twats passed out through drink or drugs, surrounded by idiots. I don't understand the point of spending all that money to spend the weekend smashed off your face |

Of course it's Sturgeon's fault, and nothing to do with the organisers putting on a three day festival on Glasgow Green.

Whickerman done with too. Different circumstances but a sad loss. Eden has problems with a huge projected police bill too.
Rewind would be my choice now...if it's still a goer |

Moving it to strathallan had disaster written all over it, was never a suitable site, was much better at Balado. They are saying it's only off 2017 but in all honesty I think that's it done. Rumours been around for a while that same management have been eyeing up starting a festival at Glasgow green so guess we will see now! |

Sturgeon and her pc correct mob decided Kinross was a risk and made them move her pc brigade will definitely not allow a 3 day gig in Glasgow. A festival in a city centre will never happen over a weekend in summer never happen |

They've had 3 day events on the Green before. Pretty certain it'll go ahead. As central government have nothing to do with the licensing of events I'm not really sure what Nicola Sturgeon has to do with it. Maybe the pic brigade do, but I've no idea who they are a or what their role is. I just hope they organise it for July. Might stop the less desirable types hanging about the Green. |

People are telling you it's happened before - Google gig on the green it was a 2 day festival on glasgow green and had massive bands. The only reason it wasn't continued is the organisers said it cost too much money but they've clearly changed their minds.
And it was definitely on a weekend when it happened previously. It was one of the best organised festivals I've been to in terms of set up and police managing it. |

Well it was a perfectly good site for years then they decide there is a pipeline running under it so made them move. Scottish government decision cost the area millions in revenue. The usual big brother or in this case sister knows best. Well done Scotland has a rich vein of musical talent that has now less and less outlets to showcase it because of bureaucratic nonsense. |

Last time I was at T a flying bottle just missed my head while dancing in the Slam tent, decided never to go back after that, it's full of fannies and I couldn't give two fooks wither its cancelled or not. |

I dunno why op is so bitter - location shouldn't matter as long as it's in Scotland the money will go to Scotland and dare I say it regardless of location the Scottish government will get their cut.
Location is irrelevant - if there's a good line up people will travel from all over. I travel for work and the people I know that love festivals won't care that it's in Glasgow-it'll actually make it easier for them I imagine in terms of travel etc
As for the "meth heads" and such like you feel glasgow will attract - any festival attracts undesirables, it's unavoidable regardless of location! |

Do you not see the connection that the same organisers have been looking at a glasgow festival for ages as an alternative? So it may actually be their choice to try that again??
Nicola sturgeon gets a cut regardless of where the event is held so I find it really hard to agree with your arguement about her being to blame. And I can guarantee you I'm not a fan of her at all |

That was just a jumble and I can't make anything out but hate.
I would assume that the people who know best about why T was moved would be the organisers themselves, and if it was due to safety then that's a good thing because people's safety should come first.
I have no love for the SNP or Sturgeon either, but I'm not saying the reason I have a ding in the side of my car from trying not to hit a car parked opposite my drive is because the government allows cars to park on the road. I could say that, but it wouldn't be true, would it? |

Is there a reason youre repeatedly avoiding the fact that people are pointing out a 3 day festival has been held successfully in Glasgow green in previous years by the same organisers?
And that the location was hailed in terms of safety and having a more central located festival made it better for emergency services if required.. |

I couldn't give a shit if she does or doesn't. She's a politician, they're all the same and I treat them accordingly. But I don't blame everything that happens on them, that's just weird.
But carry on with your little rant, if it makes you feel better. Better out than in, and all that. Me, I prefer reasoned discussion so I'll head elsewhere. Have a good weekend and don't get your tinsel in a tangle  |

I'm pretty sure if she had a hidden agenda she wouldn't have let the organisers set up another 3 day event in Glasgow.
If I was to hazard an educated guess given my occupation as someone that gives advice to large businesses I'd guess that they see potential for more financial gain in a city centre event and are wanting to test the waters again so to speak |

Just like Perthshire was hailed as the new home for T and was ruined by the PC brigade hey I hope it goes to Glasgow and does well but I have a funny feeling should it be confirmed the PC brigade will find some reason to put the mockers on it.
I would just like to clarify to the canny readers on this thread I am not knocking the SNP per say it is the machine the fact that they say one thing and do another. I have had the most fantastic memories ever at T meeting the foo's flying 8000 miles to get there for the Sunday and many more it is a Scottish institution that like so many other thing the politicians stick there noses into is now left smouldering on the trash heep a hobo with no real identity. And to the folk who say good riddance it won alot of plaudits within the festival world and was the envy of alot of countris |

Used to go when decent bands played there.
Escalating security costs are to blame for cancellation of many outdoor events.
Remember going to the Green where they made the simple error of putting Eminem and Marilyn Manson on the same bill. D*unken, spaced out NEDS caused a riot which culminated in Marshall Mathers having to abandon his set.
TITP has also become boring. Last time I was there I couldn't distinguish when the first band ended and the last band began it was too similar pish sound that is too evident at these festivals now.
Doesn't matter where the venue is there will be the same security issues and costs, the same shit bands, the same shit NEDS that turn up, not for the music but just for a weekend of mayhem, AND the same astronomical prices for food and drink.
As someone has stated earlier there are a number of smaller festivals run all over Scotland with less hassle, less need for high profile security and better music.
There is a plethora of musical talent out there and yes some of them do make it into the smaller tents at TITP why don't they organise smaller 2 day festivals for those type of bands with their own following in attendance instead of lumping every genre of music into one big headache of a festival that just invites trouble

So you don't think the transport network, and local businesses could cope for those four days, or are you just going to continue being obtuse, just because you can't get what you want?
It certainly comes across as the latter, to me. |

Ayr seems the logical place more than enough room to accommodate, obviously it never worked out at Strathallan, I was there both years and it was terrible, but if they can put a festival in a place with one road in and out Ayr is more than sutable, the people that would have to travel further to get to Ayr that's the luck of the draw most things are planned with Glasgow in mind, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and surrounding areas don't really get thought about, that's the way the cookie crumbles |

Not sure what clubs have got to do with outdoor gigs. Irvine had Oasis back in the day and I think they had some Radio 1 roadshows as well. |
