Glade line-up revealed for Glastonbury Festival

The acts appearing across the four areas of the Glade area have been announced for Glastonbury Festival

The area has been a melting pot of experimentalism and beats since its arrival in 2000 offering a surround system and open air stage it grew out of earlier ad hoc dance parties in the Avalon Field and was created when Festival organisers Emily and Michael Eavis created the space between the Avalon Field and the site of the Dance Tent.

Michael had seen Club Dog put on an impromptu club scene party back in the 90s and was so impressed he asked the Avalon crew to put together the new area. Since then it's seen performances from members of Orbital, Eat Static, System 7, The Orb, and many more.

2013 saw the first year since then without a Glade presence there instead it was the 'Glade Pizza' area, as the location was too close to the location of Arcadia.With the move of the mechanical beast last year the Glade made a welcome return last summer back among the trees.

The new Spike area will be back and extended in 2015 with more secret gigs and special tipples in store. Spaceport and Lounge are going to feature again too – louder later longer!
