The Glade has around ten music areas, so there are still more names to come yet. The stages cover many genres from techno, house, breaks, psy trance, dub, ambient and more. Expect the stages to open each day by early afternoon, and to run into the early hours.

The details of the site will only be revealed to ticket holders. Expect full camping facilities, car park, licenced bars open until late, food stalls and markets, and more besides.

Tickets will go on sale on tomorrow (Thursday 20th March), expect them to sell out quickly.

The organisers are determined to stop touting, so a name and address must be supplied for each ticketholder, and ID will be required at the gate.
