The Glade Festival roared into existence in 2004.

It was started by 4 chaps who, between them, had run and been involved in electronic music festivals the world over, especially in Southern Africa, and in the wonderful Glade Stage, the best place to catch the finest breaks and techno at Glastonbury Festival.

The idea was and still is to create an outdoor space where proper electronic music could be heard, danced to and totally loved in a colourful environment where you could let go, express yourself and be free of sponsors and music made by people who don’t get it…

It was a fantastic success and quickly gathered a momentum that took us all by surprise. Selling out in no time each year and taking the festival to a point where it had to move homes and then very sadly two years ago it had to be cancelled, but we’re now going into our second year in our new home, where we are getting ready for to give you an experience, away from it all, with people who are down to have a real experience and have an amazing time, this is the Glade.
