The official Glade feedback thread

[laurennoodles]

am i the only person that didn't think the toilets were nice? lol none of them seemed to be cleaned until sunday evening, the ones near us (by the welfare tent/general store) were awful as there was only two they were literally on the verge of overflowing, we had to walk to the ones by vapor (possibly? i dont know it was a tent i never went in..!) when we were at our camp.
but then i haven't caught any strange diseases so i suppose i shouldn't complain...

I agree with you. I thought I was the only one who hated the toilets, maybe because I was using the same set as you most of the time. The people I was with also commented on the disgusting state of them, they were always piled right up full of tissue with a great big cherry on the top!

I had an amazing Glade - will be there next year without a shadow of a doubt, it was just the security I was complaining about mostly because we had to go out and in to get booze and the relentless searches started to get on my wick. I had my shoes searched about 5 times in the one day. We ended up giving free bottles Buckfast away to anyone passing as we had so of it much left! I still have a case of cider here too.

Anyhoo sorry about the swearing and moaning yest.

The people of Glade are of a special kind.

Having been a veteran glade goer for many years at glastonbury this was my first proper glade.

Just a few points:

- The best thing about glade at glastonbury is its setting. Whilst the site was nice overall I was hoping for a few more outside stages. I know there are sound restrictions, but not till 12 surely? Tents are great after dark when you can crank the volume up - but really not before. Could we not put some of the stages in the trees as well? Like at glasto?

- Not all of us like psy trance 24/7 and I would loved to have heard Sunday's Glade Stage line up outside, a bit more techno outside and more house outside too. All those people moaning about ONE set of techno outside need to realise that other than that it was almost completely psy trance on the origin and that was the only place you could sit or dance outside. I quite like a little bit of psy trance, but by sunday I was so bored of it, and yet if you wanted to be in the sunshine you had no where else to turn. I was absolutely dying for a bit of a early/mid 90s trance to be played on sunday night.

- There isn't much point booking three of the finest techno djs to play on firday night if they can't play loud music. What is actually the point? If you dont have the license - push them back to a time when they can play loud and have more ambient stuff later. I very much doubt Surgeon or Ben Sims will be back. Which is a shame as they are two of the best techno djs out there.

Just three ways that glade could have been better imo. I had a great time and after the sun had gone down on saturday I heard some incredilble music: Lee Burridge, Jeff Mills, Mids 90s Goa Trance in Liquid, Autechre & Jimmy & Matt in Sancho y Panza. Plus I actually really liked Allaby's techno set on sunday outside!

The discussion of alternative locations has been moved to should-glade-move-from-wasing-t5889.html chaps. It's a good discussion, but let's keep this thread for feedback. Thanks.

WOW what can i say guys to any of the organisers thankyou thankyou thanyou. It was my first glade this year and i had the best time of my life. I've been to loads of different festivals in the UK and abroad and this was by far the best festival i have ever been to. First of all the people were brilliant, everyone was so friendly and made an effort to dress up in random shit which made for such a good vibe. The music for me was spot on all the time, i don't think at any point was i not enjoying the music, loved the psy mainly, and the techno and the break. SO many good sets, which totally blew me away (see favourite sets) but also there was sooo many other good ones too many too mention really. Along with the weather which made for a totally perfect weekend for me and my friends from Bristol. I have to say this will be without a doubt be my festival i goto every single year without fail.

Thanks again guys!
