Video claims to show T in Park drug mayhem before note played

A VIDEO has emerged which claims to show a T in the Park reveller rolling around out of control under the influence of drugs – before a single note had been played.

The man, who according to friends, had taken “half a tablet”, is seen flattening a tent during the bizarre clip.

The video was uploaded on Thursday night and claims to show an incident earlier in the day as fans arrived for the music festival.

A pal commented on the Facebook page Being oot yer nut at T in the Park that the man had spent £300 on his ticket, £30 on a bus, £50 for a tent and £80 on new clothes – only to be kicked out before the first band took to the stage.

He described the waste of £460 as “priceless”.

But the video, if genuine, is likely to raise concerns about the extent of drug use at T in the Park, where sniffer dogs have been brought in to try to combat illegal substances.

The man falls over, watched by medics, security guards and other festival goers.
