Music lovers who attended T in the park in Scotland have been praised by its organisers for making it the best year in its history.
75,000 people attended the two-day extravaganza at Balado near Kinross with police making 35 arrests – the lowest in the event's history.
Around 250 fans went to the festival hospital to treat "minor injuries" while several more people sustained injuries trying to climb the fence at the sell-out event.
Rockers Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs, Goldfrapp and R&B star Pharrell Williams were among the names on show.
Sandi Thom, who was one of the first performers on stage today, said it was a dream to play in front of her home crowd.
"It's been awesome, playing the main stage. It's one of the things that you talk about when you are younger, playing T in the Park," she said.
"Being on the main stage was phenomenal, it's a great compliment."
"The Scottish crowd are always fantastic and I've never played to a better crowd than in Scotland."
Organisers announced that tickets for next year's event would go on sale on Tuesday which will again be held in Balado.
30,000 tickets for T in the Park 2007 will be available by booking over the phone or Internet from 9:00 in the morning.
