A gay club tucked away in the south east corner of the festival site, which houses the best DJs in the world, has become the most talked-about, prestigious and damn right fabulous areas of Glastonbury. The 2000-capacity venue is a homo-erotic paradise, with the majority of people in there either half-naked or dressed head-to-toe in some of the most glamorous dresses and overwhelmingly good drag-attire. And it's become the best club in the UK full stop. 

i made my first - though fuck knows why it's taken me so long - visit this year.  i loved it.  best music i heard all weekend and i couldn't even tell you who was playing.

Without shame, I push in the queue and get to the front as quickly as possible. I'm old enough, lucky enough and cheeky enough, to have blagged my way into some very precious rooms, NYC Downlow is up there with best indeed.

Love the Downlow! <3 Definitely one of my favourite clubs in the world.  There's been A LOT of hype about it in the press this year..

Few other articles I've seen: https://www.residentadvisor.net/features/2778

So I expect next year the queues are going to HUGE. Most people I'm guessing don't know about the separate 'already got a moustache queue' better keep that on the downlow

"We're good because we even let straight people in!" is a bullshit thing to say whichever way you approach it.

Personally, I've found NYC-DL quite boring. An awful lot of hype and even bigger queues, but when you're in there, it's lacking. That's just my opinion, of course. Yours is equally valid.

I went to see DJ Pierre in there in 2015, was a lot of fun but can't really put my finger on it, the music was actually pretty dreadful which was a shame, atmosphere was really good but nothing about the place screams out to me. In actual fact, when I think about it, I had a really great time in there in 2013 so it was maybe just the DJ that let it down when I was in.

Went in there twice in 2013 and it was amazing. Once in '14 but don't really remember. Some funny pictures though aye.
