Callendar Park is the venue for the festival being held next month which promises to be 'a safe and happy event'
A festival bringing together tribute acts to some of the biggest names in pop has been backed by Falkirk councillors as they granted the licence.
Members of Falkirk Council 's licensing board heard today the event is being run by the brothers behind the Vibration Festival, which was previously held in Callendar Park.David and Andrew Ure told members while the larger festival has struggled with high costs, they hope FK Fest will still bring a crowd of music-lovers to Callendar Park.
Until recently, licences for large scale events were dealt with by officers so this was the first time the team has had to go in front of the board. He said audience members were quick to leave the park, with many walking into the town centre, taking a welcome "influx of people" to pubs and clubs there.
