What is Glade?

As people have said, drum & bass is one of the event's weak points

nah, i'd personally say its one of the events strong points

What is Glade?

Glade is a psychedelic trip down the rabbit hole accompanied by a cacophony of electronic sounds and colours. You will meet some fantastic people on your trip, and the more you explore the festival the more secrets you will uncover...

Incidentally, Ans is away until March and he's the head honcho in charge of communications now. So there may not be much Glade news between now and then but we'll keep our ears close to the ground. Or maybe we should ask a bloke in Tadley to do that for us.

Edit: I've since heard from both Nick and Ans and there really isn't much to report yet. They do say things are looking very positive and moving in the right direction, that's all there is to say for now.

Glade is heaven, but u dnt have to die, and u only go for 4 days a year.... rather than eternity.

Glade is a 4 day hoorah with all your mates, and everyone else you recognise from raves, in one place with bare tunes being played.

What other clubs would you recommend that are better than Fabric, I've been to SeOne and Egg and they don't compare to Fabric... I'm still not sure about Glade though, its hard to find info on it on the net like location ect...

SeOne, Egg, Mass, The End, Hidden, Scala, Heaven, are all good clubs (Heaven is hospitals proper home and The End is now pretty much shut down). Dont get me wrong fabric is a beautiful club and looks wise is proper better than the rest, the thing most people dont like about fabric is the people is attracts, the atmosphere, the security and how they overfill it everytime. Most times i have been, being in the middle of the dance floor is just not fun at all, especially at drum n bass where everyone looks like they will lamp you in the face if (heaven forbid) you so much as brush past them. I believe one nation still hosts nights are brixton academy everynow and then as well, One nation generally attracts idiots as well but in brixton academy there is enough room for them not to bother you. Think they might be doing one for valentines day. I went to the valentines day one there a few years ago and was probably one of the best nights ive been too, mampi swift was awesome.

Don’t get your hopes up about lots of drum n bass. The two years i have been the only drum n bass was Andy c on main stage, who was rubbish and moaned and then finished early. And then last year friction played main stage. They only ever seem to have one full on drum n bass act per year. Although you will hear some drum n bass in various other sets you’re not going to get it all night long. Pendulum also played main stage last year but they are just circus music not real drum n bass. If you want a drum n bass festival go to innovation in Spain, 1) Its warmer 2) you get proper accommodation (no one likes waking up in a sweaty tent anyway) 3) Its reasonably cheap considering its 3days, in 3 big clubs and with proper accommodation and allot of big dj's. 4) Hardcore beats host a breaks stage there which is just as banging.

The second half of Noisia's set was blinding once moved from breaks to dnb and current value was amazing, although dnb is only barely recognizable in his music

It doesn't really matter, it's the same speed
