Nick Ladd from Glastonbury Festival’s first ever spin-off event The Glade chatted to Skrufff this week and revealed that they’re aiming to create an event that captures ‘the true festival spirit of Glasto ‘72’. The 5,500 capacity outdoor weekender features seven stages and a massive array of DJs and performers though unlike Glastonbury will be entirely dominated by dance music. “Glastonbury started out as a progressive cutting edge music festival, featuring psychedelic rock and it’s obviously grown to become this creative melting pot of every single genre of music and performance and art,” said Nick. “But our generation has different music; dance music.” In keeping with the free party ethos that’s at the root of the event, he refused to confirm the Glade’s location beyond confirming it’s somewhere ‘south of Reading’. “It’s inside an amazing 2,000 acre estate surrounded by woodlands, there’s a lake and it’ s a beautiful Greenfield site. One thing that we have to be clear about though is that it’s going to be impossible to get into the festival without buying a ticket,” he stressed.
