Glade 2010 cancelled - Big Chill to the rescue

The most refreshing festival on the Dance circuit has cancelled its 2010 event. Glade festival has been forced to close after ten years of running and winning many awards. Many of the festivals fans blame the local police and Local Authorities placing pressure on the event. Last year's event attracted over 15,000 people and playing this year were acts such as: Etienne De Crecy, Jeff Mills, Simian Mobile Disco and Orbital a crying shame that such a line up has been left out in the cold. But thankfully The Big Chill Festival have yet again stepped in to save the day and are offering Glade Festival Goers ‘First-Dibs’ on Big Chill tickets

The Big Tent Recycle

 

 

Year after year as I pack up my belongings after yet another fun filled weekend at a festival I hang my head in shame at the sheer amount of rubbish that is left at some of the UK’s biggest and best festivals. Last year at Latitude festival as we packed our bags it really hit home when I stood shielding my eyes from the suns glare looking at what I thought was some form of art installation but was actually a collection of all the camping chairs left behind by people that couldn’t be bothered to carry them the short distance to their car.
