the first 4 are confirmed on the Glade website, Caspa and Rusko on their myspaces. Didn't know about the rest. Not *quite* as tasty as last years dubstep though. At least not yet anyways...
Gonna be an amazing weekend anyhoo!

I think the sound was at least partly to do with the fact that that stage was practically submerged at one point. They'd almost to call that stage off, even the whole festival. It's a small miracle they got any festival under way let alone the cracker they did. Some bloke complained to me at one point that the sound in the overkill was shite, that 'it was muddy' yeh no shit sherlock, look around you!

Yeah defiantely, I'll probably be a little worse for wear

cant wait for it, I really hope the weathers good, apparentley they've released info on where it is and it's meant to be bare nice

I'm definately going to be camping under a tree, I got ridiculously sun burnt at Reading (never going there again) and couldnt go out for half of the saturday

your right mate it was the worst affected by weather.
Can't find link, but the glade organisers posted statement afterwards. Basically it said the tent meant to be used for the overkill, never made it to festie. Lorry crashed or something. So used smaller one which couldn't fit the function 1 rig. Also they exceeded their noise limit an had to turn it down.
They didnt actually say sound was shit coz of the weather. Which i thought they would. Overkill stage was reason i went to glade. There was only the odd other thing i was interested in.
I went year before when it was heatwave. There was issues with sound that year too, too quiet, chants of turn it up.
Its a great festivial dont get me wrong i hope it goes well. Wasn't totally happy with the way things went, so not goin this year.

Aye yeh, I read that too- I think the van lorry rolled into a ditch or summit. Anyway, the music was just a small part of it for me last year- was all about the people, the atmosphere and the craic!

Bit disapointed with the dubstep line up at glade this year
But it more than makes up for it with the other acts playing.

I might end up going simply to throw piss at them. My bro told me to check out their myspace page recently for a laugh and I was truly offended. They are beyond the final nail in D'n'B's coffin, they are actively fucking its corpse.
