One of my mates is playing at Glade and there's a chance today may be written off - I will let you know...

"My Tent got swept away, everything is totally wet...Glade clearly had no contingency planned for rain, don't bother coming down its a fuckin' nightmare.
They are letting nobody on-site at this time, Thatcham station is CLOSED. I'm coming home now, no point in staying"

I received that text message from a good mate on-site about 45 mins ago.

Make your own minds up.

I may go trow but Friday is a total write-off

BTW apologies for the 'bullshit' comment - thought you were trolling. Sorry...

I read it as a disbelief 'bullshit' comment

My mate will call me shortly after he's spoken to the promotor but there's some good info on that thread:

OK, just spoken to someone on site.
Overkill Stage is totally flooded
the bottom of the valley (i.e. where the stages are) is a bit like a river
The rain has eased off a bit and things appear to be improving
People are having it at the Glade Stage and the Origin Stage, apparently.
Wellies are essential, be prepared!

Just spoke with Glade organisers

They said the festival IS going ahead, and confirmed the Overkill stage is CURRENTLY closed, however, they stressed that the stage is being checked as water recedes, and said they hope to re-open it this evening - though "we can't guarantee that" they warned.
Otherwise, all stages and tents are open on site, and once local transport and road problems (lots of floods) are resolved they will press on with the event. Though the organisers warn festival goers to expect Glastonbury in the rain conditions, at least until there have been a few hours sunshine.
Hope this helps

Anyone own an ark?

Seriously I have a mate at a pub a few miles away trying to get in. He's telling me the way in's flooded and no-ones allowed in or out. Heard the same from a mate inside...............Can anyone confirm it's ok to get in now?

by bigmetta on 20 Jul 2007, 14:04

pooh pooh.. i have just returned from travelling up to thatcham. Nearly all the people that I travelled up with were turned away. Arse! The rain was phenomenal, flooding everywhere..

by **gladehopeful** on 20 Jul 2007, 14:09

More news....

by gladehopeful on 20 Jul 2007, 14:09

Thanks for the update, info is really hard to get, we're just holding off on leaving until we can find out the road in is clear.

So what's the deal...is the road in closed by the authorities or the Glade organisers? Does it look a health risk?

EDIT: text from a friend outside waiting to get in:

"The road into the village has been closed by the police...the M4 is supposed to be a nightmare, there has been a mudslide with the junction off the A34 so I couldn't head back home if I wanted to! My mates there have said that the music is on. I am going to sit it out here for the next coupla hours and play it by ear."

the guy i sat next to on the train on the way back showed me a video he had taken on his mobile whilst driving to newbury station.. it looked more like a river than a road LOL..
