The Glade Festival is moving...
A new venue will mean we will go louder, later and for longer.
We will be further from local residents.  This means we will crank it up.
We will run it later into the morning.
And we won't finish until midnight Sunday

Sounds sensible!

Anyone know if its in the same area, or are we talking a completely different town/city ?

inevitable at some point imo. this music must be loud. when some people have got it in their heads that things are being capped to please people outside the event, but not the people who actually PAID to go there (including buying camping gear & travel costs), it's only a matter of time before organisers stop kidding themselves & sort it out. loved the venue but that's not why people went. anyways, big-ups for common sense!

Just came across this news story in the local paper which gives some background for the decision to quit Wasing

Glade have sorted a new site, which is around a 30 minute drive from the old site. The location of the new site hasn't been disclosed.

[pesh]

Has the license been approved yet? Id imagine they have only just begun the licensing process....

well, that's even closer to me than the previous site!

And truly hell on earth if it rains hard. Glade and Glasto 07 were peanuts to what Matterley Bowl is capable of producing in the mud stakes...if you were at Homelands 2000 then you will know what I am referring to. Most horrific mud fest I have ever experienced in 15 years of partying.

BUT Glade is nearly always sunny isnt it so fingers crossed eh?

I was, and yes it's not something i'll ever forget! Right up there with Glasto 05 in the swamp like conditions stakes.

Indeed.  I'm thinking I might commute from home, or just take a small pop-up tent - but I never slept much there before.

Apart from 2007

I did read some news on ravetalk that some alleged new drainage had been installed since Homelands 2000?

But fingers crossed.  I've been to some extremely hot Glades
