fatyeti24 Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 http://mixmag.net/feature/2016-a-gay-bar-at-glastonbury-festival-became-the-uks-best-club Quote 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.

danegg Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 I didn't love it if i'm honest, though in fairness I went there at the tailend of an evening and was knackered. May well give it a proper go next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upside down frowner Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 I didn't realise it was gay orientated the first time I went in. Penny didn't even drop with the tashes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

matt1991 Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 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 https://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/jun/26/inside-glastonbury-nyc-downlow-80s-warehouses-drag-queens-gay-butchers https://noisey.vice.com/en_uk/article/nycdownlow-2016 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalifire Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 "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.

Matt - Ed Banger Records Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 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.

Once in '14 but don't really remember. Some funny pictures though aye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
