I thought the whole area was a massive improvement. 
 

It was actually a return to the original area and vibe of the glade. The area under the trees is still there but more of an old school, ‘Goa’ rave vibe, under the stars and simple stretched fabric between trees, plenty of space to dance under the open nature. This is what it was in 2000 etc. 

Now the big main stage is further away, in a new area, larger and better for bigger names. You did need to be in the tent though to hear a decent loud sound (and the sound was very good inside). I can only assume this is necessary to avoid bleed with the trees area acts. 
 

Finally the spike bar area didn’t have music which is not needed due to the bleed it used to have. and a better viewing platform and chill out area. 

Perfect if you ask me.
 

 

Interesting.  I remember in 2005 one of the people I was with saying that Glade had been their favourite area, but they weren't impressed with whatever changes they'd made to it for that year.

I was ok with the new placement.  It contained sound a lot better and felt it could handle more people without there being too much of an over spill.

The stage / tent itself was a bit underwhelming but I'm hoping that it will evolve over the years into something with a bit more personality

Ahh, it's good to see a picture of a tent in the sunshine on a cold December day

It was scorching when I took that photo too. On the Tuesday before gates opened and I had a mate text me to ask if he needed to bring wellies 😂
