Arcadia ............ and other places

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

Wow, slightly surprised by that second bit, but from what they've been saying, it seems like it will be a massively transformed design, taking on their trip to Australia, so that may have something to do with it.

Arcadia have told us that a press release is due this week - which should include its new location. I'll leave that for them to announce.

What I've also heard - tho I'm not sure if it's true or not - is that Arcadia will run for only 3 hours each day, after the bands have finished, and that it won't include any live acts this year.

Tbh, Arcadia was always the most jammed of the late night areas. seperating it off is not a bad idea.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Is it ever busy while the rest of the stages are on? I left Beyonce after twenty minutes and went straight there and it was pretty dead. Granted, they were just rehearsing the Spider show, but anytime I've wandered by during the afternoon or evening it still seems quite quiet. Maybe 3 hours after the main stages finish is really all that it needs?

sounds like it'll be like BoomTown set up then - I don't remember any live acts there either just low key DJs sets, then bigger name DJs and a big main show a few hours long with actors, dancers, lights, pyro and the like - plus that mushroom crowd at the end!.

Yeah they didn't have any live acts at Boomtown from memory. I don't think they'll have the mushroom cloud at Glasto either as that was a Boomtown thing rather than an Arcadia thing from what I understand.

[mr flow]

Ahhh I stand corrected! bring on the mushroom cloud in that case!

[5co77ie]

no mushroom i think:

Liking the idea of Thursday night and the new location

[Dukeicon]

Saw the Fire Tornado at Bestival and it was pretty darn cool!

The rig they used at Boomtown was fantastic, being able to dance right underneath the DJ pod in the middle. It's a shame that they are only running for 3 hours Fri/Sat/Sun though.

I think this is great, Arcadia was always mental down in the SE corner, even when the other areas were quiet, so this should hopefully have the added benefit of splitting the crowds and with more room in the Other stage field, more people will be able to enjoy the Arcadia show.

I think this is really good news. It splits the late-night stuff a bit and should mean less pandemonium after midnight.

Whether I can get my 55 year old Dad to dance to drum and bass is another thing entirely!

Nearer the village though and surrounding properties, wonder if that will affect the noise levels?

[dan05delaney]

Can't wait to see a map and then where it be... hope its in view of the other stage so can just see flames and shit when watching a band

3 hours? What is this, the Queen's garden party?

What happened to 24 hour hedonism in the middle of nowhere?

[dan05delaney]

I love how another website has just re hashed the efestivals article... proving once again efests gets the info.... first would post link but no need to divert traffic away from here

There won't be any bands on when Arcadia is on!

[Trebor]

Love the idea of spreading the late night stuff to other areas of the site, but won't that mean it having to be fairly quiet to avoid upset?
