Glade festival to return in 2011
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 16 December 2010
Having been called off this year, partly due to spiralling policing costs, Glade Festival will return in 2011, it has been announced. The dance music festival will also move to a new site with a smaller capacity, which will delight many fans who were displeased by the recent expansion to the old Homelands site.
Organiser Anselm Guise said: “We are thrilled to be able to say that the Glade will be back in 2011. The festival is being revolutionised yet stripped back to its shiny grass roots… half the capacity that it was in the last few years and getting back to its original spirit but with a big step forward creatively, musically and artistically”.
He continued: “We’ve been dying to let everyone know that it is definitely here again and with everything that’s happened we’ve had to ensure that we’ve got something to excite, that we can make happen and that will be a true celebration of life, music and art. We now can. Half the battle was finding the right home for the festival and we really have. We’ve found a belter – proper English parkland where we can do our thing… trees everywhere! The Glade is back!”
The festival will take place from 11-13 Jun, with earlybird tickets going on sale on 25 Jan.
