Selfie sticks have been banned from T in the Park.
Festival bosses yesterday announced they were following the example set by Wimbledon, Disney and the Open Championship by outlawing the increasingly popular smartphone attachment from next weekend’s show.
Organisers fear the extendable poles could cause accidental injuries or generally become a nuisance to other people.
Anyone caught with a selfie stick will have it confiscated and risk being ejected from the site.
The device appears on a list of items festival-goers have been advised to leave at home. Also banned are flagpoles, nitrous oxide or laughing gas and other so-called legal highs.
The advice comes as incredible aerial shots reveal a bird’s eye view of the festival’s new home in the grounds of Strathallan Castle.
Amateur weatherman Windy Wilson took the snaps as he flew over the site in a light aircraft. His pictures show how the main stage and Slam Tent, among others, are already taking shape.
Revealing a list of advice and top tips put together with help from the emergency services, T in the Park boss Geoff Ellis said: “We’ve got a stunning new home, incredible music, delicious food and drink and the very best entertainment.
“All we need now is for guests to arrive and help us ensure it’s the best house-warming party in living memory.”
He added: “But before everyone sets off, we need them to follow important advice from each of our partners to make sure they come prepared for the brand new site.”
Fans are urged to take public transport and have been advised that only Citylink will be running coaches directly to the campsite.
Mr Ellis said there were no suitable walking routes to and from the site and drivers have been told not to use sat nav.
Although fires and cooking stoves are banned, disposable barbecues can be used within fire lanes, although campers are reminded not to take their barbecues into their tents.
Police Chief Superintendent Eddie Smith, who is also event commander, said: “I want to reassure local residents that Police Scotland will be working hard with organisers DF Concerts and our partner agencies to minimise disruption and create a safe environment for all.”
A safety tent, run by the force’s safer communities team, will be set up at the festival site for the first time. Revellers can register their mobile phone in case it gets lost.
Chief Supt Smith added: “We want everyone to enjoy the event and have a positive experience. However, Police Scotland will not tolerate any criminality, including the carrying or dealing of drugs.”
Fire service safety adviser, station manager Stephen Wood urged campers not to use candles and beware of the dangers of carbon monoxide.
