drum & bass stars head for Glade

Led by Andy C, DJ Marky, and Noisia, a standalone day and night of Drum & Bass has been announced for Glade's Vapor Tent on Sunday.

Major names such as Andy C, DJ Marky, Noisia, Fresh, Cyantific, and some of the country's finest breakthrough DJs and MCs will be dropping the Drum & Bass as the genre makes its debut at the festival.

The line-up in the The Vapor Tent which is hosted on Friday and Saturday by BLOC includes Phantasy, Mr. Nice, Maxxi P, MC GQ, IC3, MC Bensta, MC Script, and Johnny G.

The idea was put forward and booked by South West Drum & Bass promoter and DJ Mr. Nice, promoter of Rinseout in Exeter, who said, "I find the prospect of the drum & bass tent at this year's Glade Festival extremely exciting. It makes us very proud to bring together the scene's biggest names alongside some of the UK's most in demand breakthrough talent. We hand-picked artists who have done us proud time ater time - bringing electric vibes and real passion for the music."

Now in it's sixth year the Glade will be held in a new location confirmed as Matterley Bowl near Winchester, Hants which means the music will be running much later, with both the big production stages kicking it until early morning as well as an increased emphasis on smaller, more intimate venues also running late.

Headliners for this year's Glade Stage will be Underworld, with Booka Shade, Squarepusher, Freeland (aka Adam Freeland), The Japanese Popstars, The Qemists, The Bays featuring Beardyman, Dub Pistols, Losers, The Egg, Femi Kuti, Nitin Sawhney, Finley Quaye, Atomic Drop, Ben & Lex, and Pathaan.

Other acts include Juan Atkins making a UK exclusive appearance, Dave Clarke, Adam Beyer, Mutant Clan (Timo Maas & Santos), Zinc, Plump Djs, Krafty Kuts, Rennie Pilgrem & Chickaboo, Deekline & Wizard, Baobinga an ID, Annie Nightingale, Koma and Bones, A Skillz & Beardyman, Ishq, Pathaan, Ashtech, Pieman, Ajja, Archaic, Beatnik, Blind Roller, Antix, Perfect Stranger, Los Albertos, Orkestra del Sol, Tragic Roundabout, Gadjo, Rusko, Starkey, Tayo, Venetian Snares, Limewax, Kid606, and Hudson Mohawke.
