Glade Festival originated as an underground dance stage at Glastonbury, before becoming an independent event in its own right in 2004. After a year out in 2010 due to high legal and security costs the festival will make just 5,000 tickets available for Glade 2011. Organisers are taking it back to its roots in terms of vibe with smaller numbers making it a much more intimate event.

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

Tickets are priced at £135. A campervan pass is priced at £50.
