Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds brought the curtain down on T in the Park after its first year in its new home. They were the final act to take to the main stage at the three-day event held for the first time at the Strathallan Castle estate in Perthshire.

Despite problems with traffic delays and reports of a crowd crush on Saturday evening, organisers hailed the festival – in its 22nd year – a success.

Showers turned the site into a mud bath, but that did not dampen the spirits of tens of thousands of revellers who enjoyed sets from artists including the Stereophonics, Paloma Faith, The View, Ella Eyre and James Bay on the final day.

A crowd of about 85,000 reported long queues at drop-off and pick-up points on Friday and Saturday evening, with some cars becoming stuck in the mud and had to be towed.

Festival organisers struck a deal to shift the 2015 festival to the Strathallan site following health and safety concerns about an underground oil pipeline at Balado, where it had been held for 18 years.

Susan Boyle was among the thousands of fans enjoying the High Flying Birds finale.

Director Geoff Ellis said: “We may have a moved house but our fans have come with us – the crowd has been phenomenal and full of energy – all the acts have been commenting on it too.”

The singer, from Blackburn in West Lothian, posed for snaps with fans and mingled backstage – wearing a native American head-dress.

Kodaline singer Steve Garrigan even posted a photo with Boyle to his Twitter account, adding “great to meet you”.
