If you'd been planning to hop across the pond for next year's T in the Park festival, you may want to start making alternative plans.

According to emerging reports, the popular music festival in Scotland has been cancelled, and it's all because of an osprey's nest.

No, seriously.

Releasing a statement to explain the reason for the cancellation, event organiser's said: "For over 23 years, T in the Park has been at the heart of Scotland's music scene – with you, by our side. But for now, sadly, we need to take a break."

"As the build-up to the festival was well underway, we were informed by Scottish Government Ministers that we would have to apply for full Planning Permission due to the presence of an unregistered, but protected in law, osprey's nest."

Expressing their regret over the situation, they continued: "The constraints – logically and financially – that the resulting planning conditions put upon us are simply not workable."
 

"We tried our best to work with the pressures placed upon the site by bringing in an additional team and fixing the first-year traffic issues, but ultimately we're not in control of the overall site layout, and the continued restrictions mean that the negative impact on our fans and the limitations placed on their experience is too great."

Focussing on the future and sounding pretty positive, they finished: "We now need to take stock and take a year out to try to resolve the issues so that we can once again deliver the kind of camping festival you are used to and deserve."

And that's it, folks.
