Glade Festival relocates to Norfolk

This year's Glade festival has relocated to Norfolk.

It was previously announced that the event would take place at Mansion House, Biggleswade, but following objections from trustees, the festival will now be at the "far superior" Houghton Hall, near Kings Lynn.

Festival director Anselm 'Ans' Guise said: "Last week I got back to work having taken some time off to get married the weekend before, to find that the proverbial had hit the fan. We lost our site last week.

"The trustees at the Mansion House decided that they didn't want the event after all, despite contracts signed and deposits paid. The new Glade team decided not to tell me so that it wouldn't ruin my big day and what they have done, amazingly, is manage to miraculously find another venue."

Houghton Hall owner Lord Cholmondeley added: "We are delighted to be hosting the Glade Festival at Houghton Hall this summer. This is a new event for Houghton but something that we think will work well in the beautiful and historic Park."

Tickets for the festival are available now. It will feature performances from Teentemøller with a full seven-piece band, Drumcode featuring Adam Beyer, Andrew Weatherall, Dreadzone, Hybrid, Dub Pistols, Krafty Kuts, and others.
