After rumours that T in the Park may not be taking place next year, it seems the organisers may choose to stage a different event in Glasgow.

Promoters Festival Republic had previously claimed that the festival would still be taking place in 2017, yet no details were provided about the event.

The organisers DF Concerts are now said to be taking a year off from the festival at Strathallan Castle, Perthshire, according to .

Instead they are looking to put on a three-day event on Glasgow Green in July, which will be non-camping.

A spokesman for Glasgow City Council said: “We are in discussions with DF Concerts about hosting a non-camping festival in the city next July.

“We will not be, and are not interested in, hosting T in the Park.”

Last year the festival encountered many problems, including the theft of a cash machine being stolen and three drug-related deaths.
