One of the thugs can be seen smashing a red plastic sledge over the head of a shirtless man while several other boys hit each other in the face.
Fellow festival-goers watch on in the background while girls are heard screaming during the fight - which takes place surrounded by piles of camping gear.
The footage, believed to be filmed at Strathallen Castle in Perthshire, emerged shortly after lunchtime today.
The video was uploaded with the comment: “Well it looks like the a***holes have ruined T in the Park again.”

The fight broke out just hours before hundreds of acts take to the stage for the four night event.
This year's festival headliners include the Stone Roses, Calvin Harris and Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Dozens of outraged T in the Park revellers took to Facebook to slam the thugs for “giving the festival a bad name”.
