Guessing it's a happy yay go TITP video to win over the planning council. Interesting though. Liked the very deliberate WE ARE WORKING TO SORT THE OSPREYS AND ALSO WE LOVE OTTERS AND BATS bit.

Sure I recognise the song but don't know where from. Last view videos, TITP seem to have used Scottish acts that are breaking trough just now. So could be Prides/Vigo Thieves/Tijuana Bibles etc, though doesn't sound too much like those three in particular

"OSPREY UPDATE

You're probably aware that there has been a lot of media interest in T in the Park recently - aside from the line up - and we wanted to make sure that you know the facts. We do indeed have Osprey at Strathallan Castle. Osprey are a protected species and due to this, we had to apply for planning permission to hold the festival at Strathallan Castle on a permanent basis. This is not new for us - we had to apply for planning permission on an annual basis at our previous home in Balado. As always, we will work closely with the relevant organisations and authorities to ensure that we can, and will, meet any conditions that are placed on planning and licensing consents correctly.

Because we care about wildlife, and we know many of you do too, we are currently working with RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds) and SNH (Scottish Natural Heritage) as well as our highly experienced and respected ornithologist and Osprey experts to make sure that the birds, and indeed any other species that may be onsite now or in the future, are suitably protected so that nature and the festival can co-exist - as they do successfully at many other rural outdoor events. The main thing to tell you however is that we cannot wait to welcome you all - the best audience in the world bar none - to T in the Park at our beautiful new site at Strathallan, for what will surely be the weekend of the year!

We'll continue to tell you the facts and keep you up to date with all the latest festival news right here and we look forward to creating lots of new memories with you at Strathallan Castle in July!

The fact that they have now gone public with this suggests that there is very very little chance of it getting called off.

It never was getting called off. There's too much money involved, regardless of the birds. Money always talks even if it means bending some laws and pissing of the tree hungers.

"If the council find that DF Concerts don't have the ability to work with the appropriate government bodies, I would find that unbelievable - their track record and environmental awards demonstrate they're a company that has the environment as its top priority."

Fairplay Geof, argument well made :P

Lady Starlight? She'll empty the Slam Tent pretty quickly. She's Lady Gaga's best pal and seen her support her a few times over the years. One time she did some performance art where she put masks on non stop for 45mins and another time she played the one EDM beat on a loop for 30mins and claimed it was "live dance music".

More problems at Strathallan. Second osprey nest has been found so another buffer zone required. Posted on the TITP FB page asking what this meant for the festival, was it cancelled and when will we get our refund??. The as$$holes just deleted my post.

yes you would definitely get your money back, although i think that wouldn't include the booking fee

    • It does feel like there's a push back against net zero from both left and right, but especially the right. Probably since Trump I guess, but even before Trump you had the tea party and Sarah Palin thing, but over here the right were on board with the issue of climate change and the need to address it, from Thatcher through to Johnson. That has now changed, first it was the populist right, not it is mainstream, with Badenoch making the two prerequisites for standing for the Tories being against net zero, and for leaving the ECHR. You can be an ex neo-nazi as long as you are against net zero. At least many now seem to accept the climate change is happening and it is caused by us, but they now say well it will be a nice mediterranean climate so lets bin net zero anyway and just have fun f**k all that woke green sh*t. But also the left, with various trade union leaders and blue labour types going on about net zero being bad for the economy and the need for reindustrialisation as we head back to the glory days of the 50s when we all worked down pit or something, ignoring the amount of industries and jobs created by net zero. The greens obviously are still firmly behind the net zero thing, but the party is also full of nimbys who are worried about hedgerows and hedgehogs and votes, and even the leadership have realised that there isn't votes in climate doomerism but there definitely is in bashing billionaires and Israel. I guess the main driver of net zero policies in the country is still Miliband which is probably why everyone seems to be f**king terrified of him, the mad freak and his renewables. He is out of the energy department, but his replacement is hardly a petrolhead, and he isn't in the treasury doing terrifying things like spending money, but he is in the foreign office which is maybe a good place for him because climate change is a global issue and its going to take a global effort.
