Hopefully - we performed there last year and it was quite possibly the best festival of the year.
Personally though, I don't think they should've increased the size so much (if at all) as it's tinyness was what made it so intimate and friendly

*shudders* I dont like cramped festivals. I feel really cramped. concerts can be hell for me, but ill put up with it as long as the shows good.
Glade sound cool, but i probs cant go.. shame really.

I had such an amazing time last year that I'll definitely be going again this year!
As for the size apparently it's going up to 9,000 from 5,500 last year which isn't too big a jump - if they hold it in the same location then there's another field that they can open so it won't be too crowded.

I thought it wasn't going ahead this year?

spiralx - i agree .. 9000 would even be just about bearable on the same area, but a slight enlargement would be nice. I think if they hadnt increased the numbers it would have been even more impossible to get tickets .. since everyone i've spoken to that went last year is gagging to go again .. plus all their mates
pricklyleaf, are you saying that ther'll be no Glade at Glasto this year ??
Stix - would be wicked to see you again

wicked!
i'm still so excited about this i keep bouncing round my room to trance instead of working. just so everyone knows, tickets go on sale april 27th at £82.50 each... and despite the increased capacity it looks like they're gonna sell out mighty quick after the succes of last year and the increased frenzy for glasto tickets this year.. so make sure you get in there early!!! bearing this in mind i don't think anyone can complain about the new size as i reckon they could easily have gone for 15-20 000. 9 while bigger than 5 is still tiny for a weekend festival and resembles something only the size of the deconstruction one dayers...

I shall definitely go again this year.
Last years one was amazing, with a really good atmosphere.
Let's bump this thread again after we get our trickets (touch wood) and arrange a Hoppers meet nearer the time

I'm not going this year as there is no way it'll be as good as last year ; )
The line-up, the line-up!!! OMG - Sorgasmic..Luke Vibert, Squarepusher, AFX and Two Lone Swordsman, Hallucinogen, Sancho Panza, Gaudi and Son Kite have confirmed..
Anyone who didn't get Glasto tickets you won't be disappointed, if you like your electro this festie is going to kick its ass!
Sadly can't go as I'm off to frolic in the Spanish desert for a week just after Glade and won't be able to get the time off work or the money to do both! Enjoy people, loyalty tickets go on sale next week (whether that means those subsribed, people who went last year, I don't know)
