Hotels near the T in the Park

Scotland's premier music festival, T in the Park returns this summer with scores of acts across five stages at Balado near Kinross. The legendary T in the Park funfair and cinema also return, and don't forget Friday is fancy dress...

The festival campsite opens on Thursday afternoon and if you don't want to bring your own accommodation book into Tangerine Fields - ready-pitched tents fully stocked with all the gear you usually forget. Or, for the ultimate in festival luxury, The Residence's Yurts and Cloud Houses have the inestimable benefit of hot showers and posh loos.

Headliners announced for 2012 include, on Friday, Kaiser Chiefs, Professor Green, Example, Florence and the Machine, New Order, Tinie Tempah and Snow Patrol; on Saturday, The Vaccines, Jessie J, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds and The Stone Roses; and, finally, on Sunday, Frank Turner, James Morrison, Happy Mondays, Elbow and Kasabian.
