T in the Park, named after its main sponsor, the brewing company Tennets, is a major Scottish music festival held annually since 1944. The popular festival was originally two days long, until 2007, making it a length of three days due to popularity. In fact, the event became so popular that in later years (2008 and up) introduced a weekend camping ticket to accommodate travelers on Thursday before any musicians perform. The T in the Park festival is promoted by Big Day Out.

At and around the festival, there are large camping areas to accommodate the needs of travelers and the majority of festival-goers who say for the entire length of the event. There are also several concession stalls and shops provided, as well as other attractions, such as a large fun fair, complete with the Big Wheel. This festival is extremely popular as it includes many types of music to suit every music lover’s needs. Recently, the festival offers a change as it teams up with Oxygen, a festival that takes place on the same weekend in County Kildare, Ireland.

Acts usually play T in the Park one day and Oxygen the nest, or vice versa. Festival-goers usually purchase tickets for both events. The two biggest and most popular tents with the most attraction at the festival are the NME and Main Stages Tent. Other popular tents at the festival include the Slam Tent and the King Tut’s Tent. The T in the Park festival has become more popular over time, and has attracted many more music fans- the 2004 edition attracted approximately 60,000 people on both the Saturday and Sunday of the event. Tickets for the 2006 festival went on sale at 9 AM on February 17, 2006 and sold out completely in under an hour- a record time for the festival.

Approximately 69,000 tickets were sold for each day. Also in the year 2006, the Pet Sounds Arena was introduced for the first time with a capacity of 8,000. Eventually, this replaced the future stage for the upcoming year, accommodating two thousand music lovers. The 2007 festival took place on the 6th, 7th, and 8th of July 2007- the first time the festival had been held over three days.

The first 35,000 tickets went on sale shortly after the 2006 festival as popularity and demands increased, and were rumored to sell in approximately seventy minutes. On the 9th of March (when the final batch of tickets was released), people were amazed to find that they sold out in twenty minutes. People from around the world travel to this festival, and is very popular as you can tell.
