All the best things come in small packages, so GladTalk warmly welcomes the Glade organisers’ announcement that the festival’s capacity is being slashed from 15,000 to 12,000 ticketholders. This brings the festival capacity broadly in line with the 2006 event.

We’re sure you’ll enjoy reading them both and will probably find out a few things you didn’t know before, even if you’re a veteran Rave General. Like where the ‘Hard Crew’ came from, what tune got Saint Acid into rave, which well-known radio DJ has made a Bang Face jingle…
Money is getting tighter this year for many people, what with rising food bills, utility bills, interest rates, tax etc. So not surprisingly, even many seasoned festival veterans are starting to feel the pinch.
