Having sold out three days before this year’s festival - The Glade Festival - held last weekend at its new home Matterley Bowl was a huge success. So much so, revellers have already starting snapping up tickets for next year’s Festival. Early Bird tickets for 2010 went on sale yesterday, Wednesday 22nd July at £110 and have already sold 250.

There are only 1,000 Early Bird Tickets and they are on sale for a limited period only, next year’s festival takes place from Thursday 15th – Sunday 18th July 2010.

What is a British festival without rain? And, true to form, Glade was visited by the rain clouds at this year’s festival. Still, it only showered during the day and there were plenty of sunny intervals with no rain at night keeping the vibe happy and the smiles on the dials. Even when it was raining, Glader’s showed no signs of stopping the party, and business continued as normal throughout the weekend. The chalk underneath the site helped drain excess water away and keep the grass green. Everyone was surprised and really rather pleased at how well the site held up.

The atmosphere was fantastic with Glade once again showing it has the friendliest most peaceful dance crowd in the UK. The feedback so far was that this was a next level music festival and by far the best Glade Festival yet.

There was some minimal crime reported, but overall: "It was relatively quiet," said Sgt Stuart Gilmour, of North Walls police station, Winchester. "Apart from the six arrests it was very peaceful."

A special hotline was also set up to take noise complaints from local residents and received very few calls over the weekend.

Artists such as Underworld, Squarepusher, Femi Kuti & The Positive Force, Booka Shade, Juan Atkins, Adam Beyer, Benga, Dub Pistols and many many more rocked the crowds all weekend. Arcadia - the outdoor scrap metal and fire installation was also a huge hit with nightly fire shows and killer sets from the likes of Adam Freeland, Deekline and Alex Metric. The outdoor Psytrance stage Origin was also heaving for the entire weekend. All in all, underground dance communities from all corners went for it hard and had it large at this year's Glade Festival.

If you missed this experience this year (and it is quite an experience) check out our image galleries and news items, there will be a review on line to go with it very soon. You might not want to miss out on this rather special festival next year and we'd certainly highly recommend Glade to you.
