not sure how legit it is but deffo reaching this year!

I'm hopeful Glastonbury will have Some dubstep - they've
had the occasional relevant act in previous years..... Can't
actually think of any offhand though, except Mark One and
Virus Syndicate (who didn't actually turn up)... but anyway!

Im pretty sure the glade WILL be on, its just whether or not it can stay at its current site thats the issue. Either way, signed and letter sent.

Oh, and glade is LARGE.

An all dubstep festival would be dryyy lol

I'm going to Exit and Bestival definitely this year, hope there's some dub on. Might be going to Glastonbury too, I wanna see Kode 9 and Mystikz. I also want to see Pokes merking hippies off the stone circle with his microphone like Sauramon merking whole regiments with his big hench sword off Mordor.

Aldermaston (near newbury)

The line up was huge, although it had little to do with dubstep (which i do find surprising, as, and i quote, they are "the cutting edge of electronic dance music")
If you're at all into breaks for example, then just buy a ticket without looking at the line up. Just make a list of DJs you would want to see in the breaksday tent at some point and thats pretty much the line up for it.

Aldermaston (near newbury)

Yes

Glade has been held in Aldermarston for the passed 3yrs. It's a nice site and the organisation has been getting better every year. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes electronic music...or just music for that matter. Here's an interview about last years festival:

Standout sets were from Jami Lidell and Vex'd...

cheers baron von wiggle

Some people I know tried to sneak into Glade through the side last year, got caught by security who were driving them away when my mates offered them I dunno about sixty quid or something (this was for a few of them) to let them back in. And they did.

In Leeds, there was an event called 'unity day' in Hyde Park, all kinds of different music outside. Iration Steppas were there, with soundsystem, they played dubstep and it was mint. So I'd say it works a treat.

edit: having said that, the Iration Steppa system is LOUD

re. the Glade

I used to live locally and got some free tickets last year. My highlight was Jamie lidell on friday night and that was about it.

If you don't like psy trance or breaks then i'd avoid it. There were about 3 or 4 tent's playing psy trance which was 3 or 4 too many for my liking and the claims to be on the forefront of electronic music seemed a little far fetched to me.

I got the impression that any music that wasn't in the free party/hippy friendly mold was unwelcome. So i wouldn't be surprised if there isn't much in the way of dubstep this year, but perhaps they'll prove me wrong.

If you like veggie burgers, thai fishermans trousers and psy trance then the glade is for you.

I've played a few here in Oz, the biggest being Earthcore- Australia's equivalent of Burning Man in the US, or the Glade in the UK- though taking some of the other 'steppers out to cut their teeth at an outdoor event, playing on the Beach at the Stradbroke Island Dub Festival was probably the most memorable of last year.....



Couple more large-scale outdoor events scheduled at the end of the March & when I get back from a quick O/S jaunt in July. Apparently we'll have the pleasure of Intoccabile's company for that one?

I know most of the sound guys doing them in this neck of the woods, some of them actually even tune their systems using Teebee tracks from an old D&B mix of mine!

Obviously less pressure, but to quote kodama @ dubstep.com.au:
