The landowner of the T in the Park site has quashed rumours that this could be the last year the festival is held at Balado.
Speculation had mounted that the event, which will see thousands of music fans attend from July 7 to 10, may move to Glasgow, where the festival first began in 1994 at Strathclyde Park.
Around 85,000 revellers are expected to attend on both days of the weekend of T in the Park to watch headline acts including Beyonce, Foo Fighters, Coldplay, the Artic Monkeys, Slash and the Manic Street Preachers.
DF Concerts, who organise T in the Park, were granted a three-year licence to hold the festival at Balado in 2010 and Douglas Alexander, the landowner of the site, denied the popular festival would be moving elsewhere.
“You would need to ask the promoters about that, but for me this is the highlight of the year,” he told The Courier. “This is a global event now.
“We have international acts like Beyonce, the Foo Fighters and Coldplay at the festival there is something for everyone here.
“I think Perth and Kinross Festival said that 90% of the population of Scotland are within 90 minutes of T in the Park.
“It’s firmly established here at Balado for the 14th year. The site is in the middle of the road network. Nowhere else is up to that.”
Mr Alexander also spoke of how much the festival has expanded since the idea was first mooted to him.
“In 1997, the biggest event we had held here was a festival for 1500 bikers. It was suggested to me that we could try this music festival with around 40,000 people, but I thought we could not cope.
“This is now a family festival people are drawn from all around. It has huge benefits locally.”
Roseanne Cunningham, MSP for Perthshire South and Kinross-shire, highlighted the “impact” of T in the Park.
“When I first became a politician in 1995, T in the Park was not at Balado, but it’s amazing how quickly it has become established here,” she said.
“The impact of the festival is felt in Crieff where I have noticed that the cafes are a lot busier. The festival is not only big for Kinross-shire but is one of the biggest in the UK.”
Annabelle Ewing, MSP for Mid-Scotland and Fife, said, “T in the Park is a fantastic event that brings music fans from all over Scotland. It is well organised and attracts huge music stars.”
A spokesman for T in the Park said they did not wish to comment on the speculation that the festival may move. However, it is understood that its organisers have no plans to move from the site at Balado.
