KOKO Bio
KOKO begain life as a Victorian theatre back in the 1800’s, known as Palace Theatre in the 1940’s it was converted into a radio studio used by the BBC and after a short spell as a cinema in the 60’s its was transformed into a music venue staging acts like the Sex Pistols and the Clash. In 1982 it was taken over by Visage and renamed The Camden Palace which hosted the earliest gigs by the Eurythmics and the first UK performance of a rising star named Madonna.
Throughtout the 80’s Camden Palace was one of the hottest clubs in London. With regular performances by Wham and Boy George, Prince would hold extravagant after show parties and with the likes of Grace Jones flying in from the USA its legendary status was assured.
The Camden Palace also played a major role in the rave scene with long running House Partys.
The club closed in 2004 for a 6 month multi-million pound restoration to create a 21st century entertainment venue with a 1,500 crowd capacity. The club features a cutting edge JBL sound system and state of the art lighting.
Since reopening KOKO has become the official venue of the Album Chart Show on ITV and has recently hosted Madonna, Oasis, Paul Weller, Elton John and many more star performers.

The Glade Festival July 2008
by citybeat on Jul.08, 2008, under News
The Event
Having been the renegade dance stage at Glastonbury, The Glade exploded out into its own multi-genre music festival and has steadily grown to be the premier cutting edge electronic music event in the UK. With a strong aversion to all things corporate and mainstream and with a great love of all things alternative, underground and interesting, the Glade has a mind boggling array of artistic ideas; musically, sonically, visually and extra sensorily, from all over the world..
Held in Berkshire (only 50 minutes drive from London), this popular electronic music festival is unsponsored, shunning the “bollocks of the corporate world“ in favour of “keeping it real… in creating a space for people to dance and laugh, connect and reflect, teach, learn and be here now”.
The event is free of sponsorship and that is probably why you won’t have heard of it. It is a break away from the dance tents at Glastonbury and is arguably the UK’s biggest electronic dance music festival from July 18-20

Ticket System
Last year they implemented a new system to reduce the hassle and cost of recorded/special delivery and so that they can work more closely with the council on capacity.
The tickets themselves are credit card style tickets with barcodes. When you order your tickets you will give them a password that will be associated with your order. When you receive your tickets in the post (they are sent first class shortly after ordering) you will need to activate them by following the simple instructions supplied with them.
On arrival at the event your ticket will be scanned and unless it’s activated you will not be allowed in. You will need to keep your ticket on you at all times and when you need to exit the site (to go to your car say) then your ticket is re-scanned. You must remember to have it scanned every time you go in or out of the gates. The gates will be clearly signed with how this works and where to go.
Ticket Price
Tickets are £125.
Camper Van Tickets are £45.
If you’re a little out of pocket (or hoping to save more for travel), why not consider volunteering as a litter picker? You pay a deposit (returned after you’ve completed the requisite 3×7hr shifts) and you do 1 shift during the festival, and 2 after it. In return you get free entry and you’ll get a free meal before and after your shift as well!
Check out the Glade website for more info and to apply.
