Music, art, laughter, evolution, healing........... that’s what the Glade is about........... You can get the lot if you want, or just have a dance..... Whatever you want, it’s here...........created by loads of wicked people who all believe in the music and enjoyed by a unique crowd who come to be part of the show......... It’s one big 3D living work of art that we are all part of...... Every tune, sculpture, dance move, dreadlock and costume.
The Glade is also the biggest festival in the UK that doesn’t have any sponsorship....... That’s because we believe in keeping it real...... in creating a space for people to dance and laugh, connect and reflect, teach, learn and be here now, without any of the bollocks of the corporate world.
We reckon that the true magic of a festival is in the reality bubble it creates ............ You know - that feeling when you get home on Tuesday that you have just spent 4 days in a parallel universe where people are open minded, warm hearted, and friendly....... Where we support one another and celebrate each others individuality..... Where its alright to smile at a stranger and let your freak flag unfurl.
It’s not always like that out in the big wide world............. which is why we want as few reminders of it as possible......... So no sponsorship (even though we could do with the money!)........... because we figure its representative of a less caring world and all its limitations and you are coming to a festival to find something else - To explore human potential, rather than just get more of what you have most of the week.
If you have been before then we looking forward to seeing you back, if you haven’t been that lucky, then make it this time – it’s good for ya.

The Glade is primarily about Electronic Dance Music and each stage at the festival is run by UK promoters who are at the forefront of their scene; respected and plugged in to what is cutting so you can be sure as the music evolves, so does the festival.
It isn't all electronic; there are pockets of acousticity and throughout everything there is one big fat common denominator; all the music is made and played by people who love it. Everywhere you go you'll find tunes, music and noise, from the minds of artists who are mad for it.
There is a huge array of acts that are nearly confirmed on all the stages and we will be constantly updating our website with news as and when we get the green light.
Glade Stage
Specifically designed with the Glade in mind, you'll find a bespoke and beautiful stage with lights, lasers and video screens aligned with your senses…
Origin Stage
Hosted by Nano Records, the Origin Stage is firmly established as the premier outdoor psychedelic trance stage in the UK.
Vapor Stage
This tent is there for the Friday and Saturday late night vibes only and will feature the cream of the world's techno artists.
Breaksday
A combination of the 'Beats and Bobz' and TCR record labels, Breaksday has delivered what is undoubtedly the biggest single Breaks line up in UK history to four successive Glade Festivals, and this year won't be any different....
Overkill
Having started as a niche venue at the Glade, Overkill has grown to become an integral part of the festival. This is the end of the festival where the abstract is celebrated… like nothing else. Anywhere.
Liquid Stage
Liquid records deserve to be recognised as being true champions of the psychedelic scene in the UK and indeed the world. From their roots on the free party scene these guys know what the vibe is all about and are now are key part of the Glade Festival…
Sancho Panza
Renowned around the world for hosting their massive Sound System at the annual Notting Hill Carnival where they run the largest sound system dedicated solely to underground house music and are also a key part of the Glade Festival.
One of the days at the festival will be hosted by those stalwarts of the large.. 'Very Very Wrong Indeed'..
Inspiral
This is where you go if you wanna relax and wallow in beautiful surroundings and warm gentle deep music. With a healing area and of course nutrition from the very people behind the amazing inSpiral lounge in Camden...
The Pussy Parlure
Housed in a rare and outstandingly beautiful Spiegel tent, a fabulous environment for you to meet and party. From the wild and quirky shows to the glamorous bar staff and gritty cleaning ladies, we guarantee to entertain! With great drinks, quality food and groovy tunes we will feed your body and your soul!
The Rabbit Hole
Promising to plunge you into pure pandemonium and providing a complete antidote to the beats of the other Glade stages, The Rabbit Hole is a late night delight , offering you a big fat slice from the eclectic cake of entertainment and then letting you suck the spoon.
We hope to see you at the Glade Festival 2008.
