What time did you get in? I didn't get to the camping area until after 2 (despite arriving at 11.30am) due to ridiculous queues and searches etc. I think only me and Clairey out of the group on the camp GT list had made it into the camping area at that point. But the area above Vapor was already filling up so fast at that point that there was only space for about six small tents and no gazebo. So we went a few metres further along, directly above the Glade Main Stage. The flagpole was the first thing up and lots of people found us by that.

Sorry we didn't see you m8y.

he had decks, and some effects i think. he wasnt mixing all that much but was entertaining and some of the tunes were wicked.

Totally agree. It's an English festival and we all know that summer is a loose term in England. You go prepared and make the most of the situation. Obviously it would have been nice to sit down, but we've been spoilt the last few years with the weather and we were a lot better off there than a lot of other people around the country. Thought the atmosphere was really friendly and had a great time. Love the Glade as ever!

who was that insane dubstep dj running around the stage at a million miles an hour on saturday?

maxximus???? he was playing amazing tunes but his mixing werent up to much.
did he play on decks or a laptop, because milanese was on just after and was amazing, one of the highlights of the festival for me

it was maxximus. a very strange fellow.

I'm gonna buck the trend and say Glade might as well have not happened for me. The only decent thing for me was catching up with mates I hadn't seen for too long and coming to the GT meet on the thursday night. Too many other shit things happened for me to enjoy it. Sorry.

IT WAS AMAZING
everything about it added to the atmosphere
the people were great everyone had a smile on there face and was friendly and the music was spot on
spooottt onnnnn

even tho there was mud it made everyone double as happy when the sun came out

i miss glade

Going to the Glade has given me a much needed boost, I haven't been to a festival in a few years because of life. Mud does not matter!

gotta agree with dave total washout for me, still had fun, but nothing like the fun i had the two sunny years, nice weather is essential

canny remember what time we got there but yeah i was lookin for the gt flag aswell.
first time id been though so didnt really know what was where, tis all good though!

this was my third glade, and definitely the funniest yet.. i did miss sitting around in grass, but soon got used to sitting in mud instead. and the lack of sun meant much more daytime dancing and bizarre missions..

i'd like a sunny one next year, but i'm proud to be among the people that battered devasting floods and menace, to stomp about and get away from the rest of the world. it was a festival of endurance and trench digging, river channelling, survival skills, rationing, and the ongoing battle to find a loo not heaped so high with turds it was in danger of collapsing.

herds of insane, randy, flatulent wildebeast wouldn't keep me away when it's glade time - and if the worst storms in however many years can't stop us having fun, nothing can..


massive flapping thanks to the organisers for not shutting down.

and my deepest sympathy to whoever has to attempt to clean up the site..

next stop - waveform?

Wicked wicked wicked Glade!!!

Amazing atmosphere, people and possibly some of the best music I have heard live ever!!

The true and typical British attitude we are all here to have a great time and not going to let some rain and mud spoil it for us!! Im just finding it hard that it is all over

Bring on 2008!!!

all i can say is wow! probably the best glade ever, loved what i saw, wandered the site, bumped into friends, hung out on my own for a bit, just a top, top weekend

I had a fuckin wicked one despite gettin in and out... I met so many randoms as well as hooking up with loadsa mates. Did anyone hear The breaks remix of Singin in the rain cant remember if it was on Frid afternoon or Sat???

Had an amazing time despite everything... such a good atmosphere, especially at the Origin stage Saturday night in the mud and the rain. The festival was so much better organised than the last couple of years, and the organisers did an amazing job despite being in the middle of what can only be called a disaster zone!

Agreed through and through. BEST GLADE EVER!! Way better than last year despite the absolutely mental conditions! And I got hit in the face by a random nutter on friday night for no reason whatsoever. So there!

anyone hear The breaks remix of Singin in the rain cant remember if it was on Frid afternoon or Sat???

i remember hearing a guy playign it on a trumpet!

yes it was just the car park situation that affected my festival, but also there were a fair few people who seemed incabable of coping with the mud haha.

origin stage was awsome had loads of fun, and even met two israelly people who we camped with last year, was an amazing festival and definately coming back next year, but please glade consider the car park, although the needless destruction of it was rather fun the finish off the weekend. I do feel for the people whos tents got ruined and stuff, but thats wat u get wen u camp at the bottom of a hill and the wheather says its going to rain, its not like the news didnt tell us that. Looking back, bring the mud for 08 haha.

glade was amazing but now i am really down as it is all over

For all the people complaining about the mud...look at this guy...he seems quite happy
