Man Found Dead At T In The Park Music Festival
Avicii, Jessie J and George Ezra are set to perform at T in the Park as Scotland’s biggest music festival settles into its new home.
Nearly two hours later, Mr Johnston told his followers that he was free and had “never been so happy to see the rain”.
Scott Johnston from Ayr in the West of Scotland tweeted at the official festival account to claim he was trapped by friends as a joke.
Tens of thousands of music fans enjoyed their first full day of music at the new T in the Park site yesterday, Friday 10th July.
Festival organisers hailed the “amazing atmosphere” at the event’s new site at Strathallan Castle estate in Perthshire.

Officers appealed for anyone with information that could assist the inquiry to come forward urgently.
Police Scotland have said that the death is still being treated as unexplained and a report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal in due course.
Manger Colin Rodger said approximately 500 people had attempted to walk three miles back to an unofficial campsite “in an unsuitable location”, restricting access to pick-up points, despite festival bosses underlining that there was no pedestrian access to the site.
He said: “We went literally from the smallest stage to the main stage and it’s been a journey that we’ve put hard work into and to finally get there was a massive achievement”.
Says Nick Moore, Scottish Ambulance Service: “We’ve had just over 240 people present to the hospital tent and the vast majority of those cases have been minor ailments”.
A spokesman said: “The ospreys were closely monitored over the weekend and both adult birds are still present at the nest site with their chicks, and behaving normally”.
