'We, the promoters of the Glade, are all first generation ravers... so we are keeping that unity vibe alive by keeping it real and not selling it out to commercialism; we don't go for corporate sponsorship because we believe that’s exactly the sort of thing people are looking to get a break from for a weekend... They want to be in the beautiful reality bubble that is a good festival... and that’s what the Glade is about ultimately... a place to come and express yourself freely, connect with like minded people, dance and have a blindingly good time...'
