Underworld @ Glade Festival 2009

[whatmakesustick]

wow, a fellow underworld fan who is into senser - respect! they are playing BOM festival in barnsley this year - i saw them there a couple of years ago although the festival was shockingly bad. still, worth it just for the intro to age of panic and since there was only 50-100 people there, plenty of room to dance!

I'm surprised at the forum apathy to this UK appearance. Even without the birth of my son a month ago, getting a 3 day pass-out from the wife would have been tough going but I think - given the number of UW gigs I've dragged her to in the past - she'd have understood.

They are coming on stage as I write this and I soooo wish I was there

*sigh*

Any reports tomorrow would be gratefully received.

BTW the Glade website was supposed to broadcasting this but now arent (tech gremlins supposedly, more likely no-one straight enough to operate the kit!).

Thats because Underworlds UK festival appearances have been well... a rubbish experience in the last few years. Either thru the weather - MUD - or the ridiculous time that they get onstage (renaissance) or the soundsystem being shite (global gathering) or the ticket prices being extortionate (every UK festival almost) or a combination of the above plus other added stuff. The glade is a mud pit when it rains but even so its notoriously hard to get tickets. I'm still waiting to hear reports though it only monday and people are probably still digging their cars out of the mud and waiting for the drugs to wear off.

oh im not criticising the uw performances, but maybe the irish organise things better anyway.

it was very good.
no mud or not enough to put you off.
the weather held out.
the set was festival fav's but thats what the large crowd seemed to want.
between stars sounded really good.
sound system could have been louder but if you got in there it was more than ok.
bars,food and site were all excellent.
haven't seen as many dreadlocks,comedy hats and monged out hipppies for years !

Ha.... ive never seen the phrase "maybe irish organise things better" in a sentence before!!! hahahaha

Were not exactly one for our success stories... but your right, Electric picnic is an exception in festivals here. If they played oxegen youd be looking at a weekend of bad facilities and bad sound.
