The Sale of Legal Highs Banned from T in the Park Festival

T in the Park organisers have announced they will be clamping down on traders selling 'legal highs' at this years festival, anyone caught selling mephedrone or any similar substance will be ejected from the site.

They have banned revellers from taking controversial legal party drugs mephedrone, fearing a three-day binge may result in more deaths at this summer's event which takes place at Balado in Perthshire, and runs from Friday 9th to Sunday 11th July.

People wishing to sell mephedrone and other legal party drugs will be banned from T in the Park and festival goers will have such substances confiscated Promoters DF Concerts have warned.

DF Concerts said, "Drugs are no more acceptable at T in the Park than they are anywhere else and the same risks and penalties apply.

The drug, also known as "bubbles", "cat", or "Meow-meow", has become prevalent on the UK party scene in the past six months. But with Scotland's premier music festival approaching in the summer, organisers are taking a hard line.

The festival will feature a line-up with over 180 artists playing over 11 stages with headliners Kasabian, Muse and Eminem joined by Black Eyed Peas, Biffy Clyro, David Guetta, Dizzee Rascal, Faithless, Florence and the Machine, Jay-Z, plus many more.
