if you do one festival this year mate get yourself to glade. it looks like its gonna be a proper good one this year. (so long as it doesnt get wiped out by a near biblical flood that is.. )

its alright, but i wouldnt bother tbh mate. plenty of other festivals that are a lot better. it was a bit of a weird crowd at bloom as well. quite young kids. Basically its like a smaller way, way shitter shambala.

i wanna go 2 glade or big chill, orbital are already playin there (big chill)

and if the dance day at o2 wireless is good ill go 2 that aswell, last year o2 wireless dance day had - fatboy slim, deadmau5, junkie xl, booka shade, audio bullys etc, really good day out

glade hands down. depends what you like tho. the sound systems were shit at big chill. and its full of quite a few rich snobby londerners and quite a family orientated crowd that seemed to look down or be a bit warey of the more hardcore alternative festival crowd. some music was good, most was chilled music to sit around and do coke to rather than have a proper dance. (imo of course )

[p0ly]

yeah looking back on the glade line ups look alot better than big chill

[MisterDuck]

might head to glastonbury just 'cos loads of people i know are going

bestival is one i'm very interested in, anyone been?

it all depends when i'm in the country etc.

With much better tunes surely?

its good to hear from someone who went cos i thought i had missed out, and i fully trust your judgement, so maybe i didnt...

[marcusblanc]

has to be glade then, i've got a few mates who go, as long as it doesnt rain like this years!

tunes are okay at bloom (lots of breaks), much more variety at shambala tho. also shambalas bigger and they make loads more effort into dressing the site and making it look really nice and theres lots more random festival things to do as well. basically shambala's ace! and they have fancy dress on sat even tho most people are fancy dressed the who;e weekend.. you wont be disappointed

[DIONYSUS]

they never release the lineup for shambala either, its about going for the vibe (man) as well as the music, so you dont just get a load of people going there wanting to see one artist and then whingin that there isnt enough of this or too much of that etc, everyone seems pretty open minded about enjoying it all.

On November 21st 2008 Orbital Announced they would be reforming to play a gig together called "20 years after Chime" at The Big Chill Festival 2009.

Looks like its only for this gig they're not back together back together if you know what i mean...

[p0ly]

ye i know, think i might listen to 'belfast' now, such a tune.

[littlebubbin]

ill be putting in my deposit for the big chill this month, thinking about glade too, what others are worth going to if you havnt been to a festival before?
