            Yea, glade sounds good, but i think anti world beats that for me, the lineup is just too good. And if you mean global gathering, then im gonna be goin to that too. haha been the last 2 years. needless to say it was bangin both times!

              you could put it as simply

              glade – mostly psy based but other genres present not all electronic

              antiworld – loads of psy and other genres

              they both attract different crowds

              every antiworld party ive been to has been spot on, ermm glade for me is just a 15 min drive or bus away so it gets my vote because i can pop home for a shower which on a hot day and after a evening of stompin is sister bliss.

                Another festival well worth a look is Beatherder. Think it used to be a party, but last year they went legit and put on a proper festival. Beautiful site on a farm/woods in Lancashire, loads of different music on the main stage (last year Dreadzone, Eat Static… various rock/ska/hip-hop etc. bands), big rig set up in the woods playin techno, breaks, dnb… few more systems around the place in tents. Really intimate festival, loads of random shit to explore – the underground tunnel tht came out under the gramophone in some old persons living room was probably the weirdest thing I’ve ever discovered. I dont hav anything to do with organising it, just thought I’d giv it a mention cos it was the highlight of last year for me.

                    glade is the easest thing to get into, you just need to no the local area

                    😉

                              well i had been in work for like 10 hours on the sat, when i finished, called me mate and said ”can you pick me up and drop me off at glade”, im known for my blags and tried everything when i got there, some nearly worked but eventually i had to resort to fence jumping again, theres a little place unknown to most where you can walk into the festival untouched, needs timing, stupidity and no ket on the walk there like last time haha

                                    no, want bothered about people jumpin fences, mostly sat about in chill out area. There were a lot of stewards with dreads! most of em too muntered to do anything remotely like stewarding

                                      they where wanting £100 for the sunday … fook that

                                      and yeah the guy with dreads was a legend and ive been meaning to thank him … basically, he asked me about my wristband (of course i didnt have one and he knew this from the off) some security guys saw he was talking to me and came over to ask what was going on, he knew id get kicked out without a doubt and probably driven far off site and maybe even have a few cheeky digs in the stomach so he just said

                                      ”he’s lost it and his ticket so im going up with him to get another from HQ”

                                      they left and said ”ok alright”

                                      fucking legend he has my ultimate respect raaa

                                      we didnt get the wristband btw, but he saved my ass

                                                security guys were bored i think and creating jobs for themselves. they’d wander over to people chilling and start searching them :you_crazy

                                                    for a first timer would you recomend buyin tickets or goin for the jump? also if you get in, what are the chances of being kicked out?

                                                    just am pretty tight for cash for tickets.

                                                      spoils the atmosphere of the festival.

                                                      unfortunately as well as there being plenty of people in security firms who enjoy “knocking about a few hippies” (legal) festies are full of CID who check to see if the security are being overly lax with regard to drugs, and then report back to the licensing committee if this is so

                                                      OTOH if these undercover cops see searches and ejections they go away happy as “anti-drugs licensing conditions are being complied with”

                                                      there has never been real acceptance of festivals in this country (the excessive ticket prices are a sign of this as the councils grudgingly only accept them if they can maybe make a bit of money)

                                                      did you know that many councils treat dealing with a festival under the “area major incident protocol” – which is the same protocol used for dealing with terrorist attacks, civil disturbances and environmental disasters?
