T in the Park founders have responded to claims that the festival will return in 2026.

An account with the handle @TITPofficial posted on X, previously known as Twitter, on Sunday evening, teasing the return of the popular music festival.

The post said: "Guess who’s back #Tinthepark2026". 

The post quickly gained millions of views as fans across the country got excited. 

But, STV News reported that a spokesperson for DF Concerts and Events confirmed that the account was fake and was originally created under the handle @tinthepark2026.

The 'fake' account has since been deleted. 

T in the Park was launched back in 1994 by DF Concerts in partnership with Tennant’s lager.

The festival ended after its final year in 2016.
