The official Glade feedback thread

[Goat Poison]

However, getting my train tickets, debit card, £80 and Youngpersons Railcard stolen from my bag as I slept wasn't the best feeling ever. £112 to get back to Newcastle, totally done me over. They left my phone and my camera, it's like they actually intended to stitch me up? Fucking dicks!

Professional thieves perhaps? Were they all in a wallet? If you get caught with a big pile of phones and cameras you'll look very suspicious, but if you steal wallets, go through them for the valuable stuff and bin the rest you can probably pinch a lot more stuff before your bag starts to look too incriminating.

The delay effect at Origin was quite noticeable in certain places, there were sweet spots if you looked though.

Agreed. Around the outside of the sound system I found it thoroughly unlistenable.

Agreed agreed, I didn't spend any time raveing their as it's not my kinda thing but I felt hella sorry for you guys when I walked past what had to be the most messy, shambolic soundsystem on site.

honestly dont know if im gonna bother going back next year the sound was so bad on friday nite it kinda ruined it for me.

[uthred]

nice atmos, but no loud ! turn it up

[Smiffy1001]

we went up to the welfare tent late sunday night but as there was nothing really wrong with us; just had tea and left. Some guy was being so didnt really wanna see that either...

Seemed a nice relaxing place tho and the people in there were nice

***...think i was supposed to put this on the 'tea and empathy' thread**

[buzzingtalk]

quick one...

baaad..

TOO MUCH DUBSTEP
not enough sound on the friday at overkill, saturday night was great though - although i know the reasons for this and its fine but get it sorted for next year
not enough JUNGLE!
toilets - although much cleaner i hope the glade can move towards naturAL toilets at some point

good

eveything else basically.
the function one sounded great and glad to see it all on rosters in order to protect it from streams of mud/water
police/secuirty were lovely from my experience - had anice conversation with a coppper who came over just to check if we were having a good one. heard a few horror storys and my mate had a bad one but all in all much better than the lack of prescene last year and the full on security of 2006.
more water points at better more convenient spots - wicked!
id just like to say thanks to everyone in the welfare tent for being awesome, they do a great job - it werent me in there but a mate woke up there sunday morning and couldnt praise them enough for helping him
reduced capacity worked well = not sure if it was full but there was enough space to move about and sit compared to it being crammed in 2 previous years

i hope the organisers had a good one, and look forward to it next year. thanks to all the lovely people i met and who sorted me out with various things, especialy they guy who sorted me a wristband to take pics of dreadzone and to dreadzone themselves for making me laff after their set backstage sunshine supervibes to each and everyone of ya i met, cuaght on camera and hugged xxx

Pros:
Fewer chavs, less agro, less mess, fewer casualties, more space, more fun than any other festival I've been to
Noisia, Ben & Lex, System 7, Jeff Mills, Plump DJs

Cons:
As has been said, the sound levels in Vapour tent on Friday (Sat was fine though)
Bleak minimal techno being played at InSpiral on Saturday afternoon - where was the chilled stuff?

My one suggestion: next year how about an outdoor stage where you can chill with a beer and watch a band in the afternoon? That would make Glade the perfect festival!

Did anyone actually find Gary in the end?

[SoloStrike]

My friend getting fucked up on salvia and not remembering how he got from his tent to where we were sitting with neighbouring festival goers, who were top blokes and I hope I meet again next year. Joe and Tom, if you ever visit this forum, it was a pleasure making your aquaintance!

Hey dude, this is Tom! We got back OK cheers, met up with the rest of the Northampton contigent and blagged a lift off our mate Jenny, so it all turned out OK. Which one of the crew are you? You lot going to Bangface on Sea?
