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

[Gnomicide]

I can't see it being where the Glade is. Surely the other side of the field would make more sense?

It will be heaving on Thursday night, which may be a good thing if you are looking to go elsewhere.

Arcadia really holds no interest for me. It does look pretty amazing but there's so much other stuff I'd rather see late at night.

[incident]

I believe that it'll be to the side of the glade of trees where the Glade stage has been in recent years, sort-of-behind the curve of stalls that face towards the Other Stage itself.

[eoinca]

Once you've seen the Fire show, the music is usually not my cup of tea, so I go elsewhere.

[Dukeicon]

I'm trying to place it in my mind - do you mean the spot formerly occupied by The Queens Head, or the Chai Wallahs pitch?

[Bisque]

but there was a Chai Wallahs looking tent near the Glade though.

[random_man]

Chai Wallahs was still there at the Glade in 2011 but it was only a bar, they had the bigger tent with the bar and live stage over in the Arcadia field

[bigbilly]

I like the glade as well. Be good to see all those trees with flames flying outta them though ;-)

[random_man]

It would be good if they used the Arcadia lamp posts (flaming lamp posts) that they use at Boomtown all over the sight

[salvador wali]

I think this is potentially a good idea, just trying to figure out where it will go.

Looking at this, I wonder if they'll cut some or all of the camping toward the Dance Village and if so will they add any more elsewhere?

That's a real pity, I lik the Glade. Mind you, I remember when you could camp under those trees....

I remember when it was all fields.

[eFestivals]

Or I suppose it could go where the ill fated 'spirit of 71' stage was?

that's wrong. It's the wrong field.

I can't see it being where the Glade is. Surely the other side of the field would make more sense?

while I can't be certain, all the info I'd heard prior to yesterday's official announcement had said to me that Arcadia would be next to the glade this year.

I'd always personally presumed that it would be in the Other stage field, but plenty of others who knew that info had thought it would be where Spirit of 71 or Leftfield was - but with it being confirmed as in the Other Stage field I reckon it's replacing The Glade.

the area where Chai Wallahs was, and the Glade bar, etc.

It's more than a fire show it's a whole production from what we saw at BoomTown - and I suspect the story has been added to or changed for this show

Wherever it's placed it's going to be pandemonium on the Thursday evening. Think I'm almost certainly going to be elsewhere...

My friend's pointed out if it is due to go near the glade then surely it'll cause a huge bottleneck? It's busy enough near the crossroads when someone good is on in the glade. Won't people stopping to see the pretty fire stop people getting along the track to the other late night areas?

I heard it was defo in the glade from the main man himself! Be good if spirit of 71 is used as well. Kinda rules out holts back again for camping. There's no way I would camp there now even if it was back!

[posthuman]

Here ish I think by what Neil has said.

The Chai Wallahs tent was down at in Block 9 i think, but there was a Chai Wallahs looking tent near the Glade though.
