line-up announced for five stages at Glade

Jimmy Edgar, Daedelus, Dillinja, SL2, and more for this summer's Glade Festival from Thursday 14th until Sunday 17th June to Houghton Hall in Norfolk.

As Glade announces the line-up on five stages eFestivals spoke to Ans Guise founder and director exclusively, as part of fuller interview to be published shortly, "There's quite a few more bits and pieces to come line-up wise, but most of the line-up we've now unveiled. I think we're going to clam it down and announce more in a while."

"We've got Dillinja, Daedalus, Jimmy Edgar, Bodikka, SL2, Ceephax, amongst a pretty huge line-up. We've got Koan Sound who are going to be playing, who are rocking it at the moment. There's Mosca, Appleblim, Alex Jones, Si Begg, Koan Sound, and more. We've never really gone for so many big names before.

"The great thing about the Glade is you get those artists, but out in the countryside with absolutley amazing production and sound, with a very freidnly, open minded crowd, that you don't get anywhere else without any kind of sponsorship. The Glade stands out on it's own as being the original event with a free party vibe that the UK is so famous for."

Overkill will be headlined by Warp Records impresario Jimmy Edgar alongside Ninja Tune's experimentalist from the US West Coast Daedelus, UK Drum & Bass hero Dillinja and UK rave legends SL2. Also confirmed are Boddika, Addison Groove, Kuedo, Pinch, DJ Rashad, Si Begg, Raiden, Kamikaze Space Programme, Lando Kal, Ceephax Acid Crew (live), Om Unit, DJ Hidden, and Randomer.

Overkill will also host a Mutant Bass Showcase with Kanji Kinetic, Lenkemz, Yeahhbuzz, Hadean, RRRitalin, Esquire, and Simtek. As well as a Black Butter Records Showcase with Hostage, NoisseS, WOZ, Tomb Crew, and Hyperchord.

With Javier Estrada making a UK Exclusive appearance, Slick Shoota, Krumble, Bashout Allstars, Anxst.

And adds, "The Pyramid, that we've called the Pyromid is back but this year you're going to be able to dance inside it, obviously not when it's lit, and that's going to be a spectacle.

The Pyromid Stage presented by London's underground heroes Hypercolour and The Sneaker Social Club from Brighton and features performances from Mosca, Eats Everything, Appleblim, Alex Jones, Throwing Snow, West Norwood Cassette Library, Al Tourettes, Tom Demac, Shenoda, Arkist, Donga, Blaksmif, Deft, Charlie Banks, Tom Lea, and Cedric Maison.

Explaining some of the new experiences on offer at Glade, Ans added, "We've got Secret Productions from Secret Garden Party on board, and they're quite into their installation and site art, and participation. We've got new stages happening including what we call the Meteor which is going to be epic. It'll be in the forest, and be set up as though a spacraft has crash landed in the woods, and it's made a crater. You go down into the crater and a stage underneath your feet."

The line-up for the thirty foot deep crater Meteor stage is Koan Sound, Akira Kiteshi, Samples, Culprate, Tom Encore, Irk & Moneyshot, B. Bravo, Kutmah, Darkhouse Family, Patchwork Pirates, Memory 9, Zen Death Squad, Sixam, William Breakspear ft. Georgina Upton, MC SAS, Slugabed, Ghost Mutt, Boss Kite, Grinel, Mak & Pasteman, DJ Murlo, Sarantis, Wildsystem, Sasquatch, Ghosttown, Vent, Mouldy Soul, KrossBow, Hungry Man, Wascal, Septic Insurgent, Harky, Cosmo, Mike Hulme, Beat3, Shamanic Technology, DJ Shookz, Mr Jack, Oz, Pinnock, Ben In Rome, Mike Gill, DVinci, The Head Of State, Sweet Jesus, and Your Niece.

Ans continues "We've made a psytrance and Goa tribe village, and given it quite some thought to create a village where that culture has it's own space, and the Liquid stage is back, which we didn't have last year, and that's running until after sunrise. So, for the first time ever there's going to be a license to proper ding dong in the woods until after sunrise, which has never happened with us before.

"We've got some amazing Burning Man style moving Art Cars, and loads more wicked things in store.

"Secret Garden Party will also be injecting some of their tomfoolery into the festival like we haven't had. They have the Artful Badgers doing something, and also Bardcore, that's going to be absurd and great fun."
