The DUB PISTOLS have been confirmed to headline WILKESTOCK 2015

BIG PERSONALITY
Wilkestock Charity Music Festival is fiercely independent and dedicated
to raising money for two charities, Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research
and Keswick Mountain Rescue.
Wilkestock began its life as an outdoor party for a few friends in 2006 by brothers Tom and Olly Wilkes. Having grown through word-of-mouth and due to the great success of the event, it’s got a bit bigger since those days. Seven years on and the festival still retains it’s home-grown ethos and commitment to championing new, local and international artists. Last year attracted over 1,500 people to the Wilkes’ brother’s fields of Watton, Hertfordshire with more increases on attendance expected year on year. Gone are the days of a few friends camping in a field over night with a sprinkling of local bands, Wilkestock is even bigger than ever and the festival has extended to three action packed nights, split over a number of stages and venues due to popular demand and lots of acts wanting to get involved.

Last years festival had something for every mood spread across the 5 very different stages listed below, this year promises to be even bigger!

The Main Stage
Showcasing the best local talent alongside big UK names.

Acoustic Stage
Every day we present a smaller, more intimate acoustic atmosphere second to none.

Mutual Party Dance Stage
On Saturday night the Mutual Party crew will be pumping the very best drum and bass and dub-step through the night.

NEW! Ellaguru
Ellaguru is an intimate, acoustic and mesmerizing music stage. This Hay Barrelled haven will cater for the real music lovers & listeners. Hosted and enjoyed by JoCee & Pixie Lott. Grab a bean bag, bring a beer and relax to this incredible crop of talent!

NEW! The Bangorang Stage
We welcome you to a weekend of Bangoranging beats and breaks from a plethora of electronic genres. We aim to keep you suitably satisfied for a stomping good time.

Hat Club
Friday night Wilkestock is proud to present the house music event for clubbers with a fanatical sense of fun for hats. Dress appropriately!.

Old Skool Rave
Saturday night brought you Slipmatt and 2BadMice last year. Don’t miss this years amazing line up!

House of Hog
Saturday night come and get a little bit ridiculous with the HogSozzle resident DJs.

Rock-up & Rinse Stage
Everybody gets a chance to play live at a festival! Register at ‘The Lodge’ and you could be on stage that day. (see ‘Line-up’ for more information)

Cinema Tent
We’ll be showing movies during the daytime if you want to kick back with that outdoor living room vibe!

Chill-out in Tipi Town
The perfect chill-out zone early morning, throughout the day and all night.

PLUS

Stalls
There are places to buy mouthwatering food on site from BBQ to Indian to Caribbean to Hog Roast including a fully stocked, reasonably priced licensed ‘Ski Lodge’ bar with a new addition of the huge 360 degree bar which is not to be missed! To emphasise the Wilkestock fun factor there are lots of crazy things on the day to see and take part in such as an on site cinema, street entertainers, bouncy castles, slides, bungee run, sumo suits, old skool vendors/games, dance tent, chill out DJ/band and teepee area, food and vintage stalls.

Dub Pistols are set to play the most famous festival in the world this friday on the amazing Glade stage at 3pm. Its always one of the highlights of the festival season and last year saw them take the roof off the area

The Glade was spawned from the Avalon Field back in the late ’90s. In 1999 the Avalon stage featured acts like Squarepusher, Banco de Gaia, Electric Groove Temple, System Seven and Dreadzone. These shared the stage with more traditional world music and folk acts like Pops Mohamed, Peat Bog Fairies, Martin Carthy and Roy Harper. It was a proper eclectically mixed festival stage and exemplified the buzz and excitement of the blending genres of music at the time.

Michael Eavis recognised the Avalon stage music was moving away from its usual pure ‘folk’ music and he and Luke Piper, the area organiser, decided to start a new area further along the railway towards the Other Stage. Using the small triangle of poplar trees and mature woodland tucked below the embankment they named it the Glade.

Inspired by new cutting-edge music and technology they designed and built unusual stages and structures to fit the space and experimented with surround sound, projections and visuals in a totally new way. The stage hosted relatively unknown and underground acts as well as the likes of Orbital, Eat Static, System 7 and The Orb. True to the ‘free party vibe’ The Glade Lounge tent has always had a core psy trance and chill out programme. The Avalon crew still run Glade as well and it’s now a whole area. In 2011 it hosted the Sprit of 71 to mark the first Glastonbury Fayre in 1971.
In 2014, two new venues – the Spaceport and The Spike – were introduced to the Glade area. Spaceport plays on the extra-terrestrial, futuristic and virtual-reality with some nightclub glam thrown in for good measure. The stage and bar is actually inside a spaceport terminal and its great interstellar soundproofing gives the full benefit of an amazing late night line-up.

The Spike, hidden in another woodland space nearby has been decked out with a bandstand, walkways and bridges. Like Yoda’s Den it’s an enchanted ferny dell with twinkling, fairylights and lush coloured washes in a swirly mist of dry ice smoke. A haze of Spike cocktails will reveal some of the most unexpected highlights of the festival (Aphex Twin played last year until 3 o’ clock Sunday morning).

Check out the Glade Area Glastonbury Facebook page.

Dub Pistols Barry Ashworth will also be making an appearance on the GreenPeace stage on thursday night at midnight a DJ set not to be missed
