Glade Festival returns in 2011

Glade Festival which was cancelled this year, has revealed on its Facebook, (here), that it will make a return in June 2011.

The statement on the social networking website simply states:

GLADE FESTIVAL... IS BACK... we are so excited to tell you.. WE - ARE - BACK.... 10,11,12th June... 1.5 hours from LONDON - in English idyllic parkland!!!... SMALLER, BACK TO ITS ROOTS.... Earlybirds on sale 25th January 2011, make sure you join the mailing list for updates... SEE YOU THERE xx.

Glade Festival originated as an underground dance stage at Glastonbury, before becoming an award winning independent event in its own right in 2004.

A statement from organiser Anselm Guise explains, "We are thrilled to be able to say that the Glade will be back in 2011. The festival is being revolutionised yet stripped back to its shiny grass roots... half the capacity that it was in the last few years and getting back to its original spirit but with a big step forward creatively, musically and artistically. We've been dying to let everyone know that it is definitely here again and with everything that's happened we've had to ensure that we've got something to excite, that we can make happen and that will be a true celebration of life, music and art. We now can. Half the battle was finding the right home for the festival and we really have. We've found a belter...proper English parkland where we can do our thing...trees everywhere! The Glade is back...!"

eFestivals is glad to see the return of the genuine grass roots, community based, control free, true spirited dance festival which offers electronic music from the UK and the world in multiple music areas, covering techno, house, breaks, psy trance, dub, ambient and more.

The 2011 dates are confirmed as running a month earlier than usual from Friday 10th until Sunday 12th June at the new location in "English idyllic parkland" 1.5 hours from London.

There are no acts confirmed yet for 2011.
