The Glade's central pyramid aka The Pyromid is a stage in its own right that is until it burns down on Sunday night in spectacular fashion. But before the visual pyrotechnics comes some musical crack bang wallop German techno DJ Marcel Dettmann of Ostgut Ton and pals will be spinning their tunes.

Elsewhere Radioactive Man has been added to the Glade line-up on the Bassment stage.
