anditmakesmesmile Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 I love the Spike Bar. But it has no presence in the listings this year. Does it have a social presence? Likewise Bimble Inn. And a few others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t seem to have its own presence anywhere, no… Not sure if you’ve seen the updates from site photos already but looks like the Spike will be changing a bit this year with an increased bar & seating capacity but no live music or DJs.

bigbilly Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 Used to love a cocktail in the spike. Cracking little venue in the trees. Don't think I've watched much music in there though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyfool01 Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 Hope it still has the glitter ball … although it doesn’t seem like the tree canopy will quite be the same as before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotdash79 Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 No separate djs in a the spike I would imagine the sound clash from the new glade would be quite bad. source is my friend who was going to play the spike in 2020. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerqueen Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 I've happened upon some cracking DJ sets in there and yet I don't think I've ever bought a drink there. So I'll miss the music and am not sure I'll have a real reason to go there now. That said, I'll probably poke my nose in to see what it's like and may be surprised!

danbailey80 Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 Yes sound clash from glade lounge was always a shame when chilling at spike. I actually always wished they didn't have any music at spike as loved listening to glade lounge DJs but the clash was grim. The idea of listening to stuff on the new glade stage from the spike bar with no sound clash is an amazing thought. Bring it on. Perhaps they will have something small (in-house spike DJs) inbetween glade state sets and also late night after glade stage shuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickM45 Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) I think Spike is going to be a hangout bar / area to bridge the new Glade Dome and Classic Glade area. The disco ball needs to stay - that's a classic. I hope the Spike DJ with the single record player still has a spot somewhere.

offmytrolley Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 Praying the giant disco ball in the tree has survived the ash dieback! 🙏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the acts who played quite a bit in the Spike before seem to crop up in the Dome - eg Just a Couple of Mums are in there 3 times.

Jay Pee Posted June 15, 2022 Report Share Posted June 15, 2022 Did anyone else see Klaus Blatter in there in 2019? Can't actually remember much about it but I was there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
