Thinking of going to this as I feel this year I need more festivalness! not that glade wasn't good

Anyone been before? what was it like how do you cope with seperate camping?

I've got a day ticket. Not sure about the camping aspect or what time the site closes.

Got our tickets ages ago when it was early birds

The lineup looks wicked and from mates who have gone previous years it has a wicked friendly small vibe nice!!

Not sure about separate camping will try and find out

Well, hello there! I went there to help out randomly as it was the first year and it looked like a fun party and worked my little socks off as I was having so much fun. I made so many good friends and had such a good time I'm back this year working again and have dragged loads of my local mates and other festival pals to come along as workers or punters as well....

In my mind I enjoyed it as much as the first Glade but for different reasons - basically loads of bands and DJ's I hadn't heard before but who were all superb. Plus I really got on with everyone I met whether crew, punter or artist... The other thing was being that small after saying hi to someone and nattering you could keep bumping into them all weekend!

The camping's separate but then I don't think that's a big deal personally as it's not like everyone will be evicted out the site like Reading or similar. The venue opening times are : Main Stage till 11pm, Lost Disco till 3am, Beats Bubble till 3am, Funk Bar till 2am, Dolly Mixture till 2am, 24 Hour Cafe - open 24 hours (doh!) Last year you could find things happening later though out and about...!

Personally I'm most looking forward to Coldcut, Rogue Element, The Nextmen, Dub Pistols, DJ Derek, David Parr, Long Range and a small local band Little Gaia I've heard a few times who are fab! Most of all though looking forward to hearing new stuff I've never heard of being out of the way in the southwest most of my life!

Edit: Oh, and the site's not flooded either, in fact the ground is a bit squashy and thats it - happy days!

I'm working there this year, haven't been before but friends have and it sounds great, definitely like an early Glade/Big Chill.
Looks like the weather will have improved by then and the line-up looks great, especially EVIL NINE, who I have been wanting to see for ages (missed them at Glade last year as my body started to shut down through lack of sleep just before their set).
Looking forward to meeting some wicked people, wandering around in some stunning countryside, and generally engaging in happy, summery, festival-type shenanigans!
Bring it on!

Yeah, sounds like a chuckle although the current existing record should be easy enough to beat I reckon!
