- Spiraling financial costs and low tickets sales have been cited in an official statement from the event's organisers.
- The 2010 edition of Glade festival has been cancelled four weeks ahead of the event. In an official statement on the festival's website, increased police demands and lower than expected tickets have been offered as reasons behind the decision. "... this year the requirements imposed upon us for policing, security and stewarding have been greatly increased. To make matters worse the reluctance of the police to negotiate in advance and deliberately delay any dialogue with us has resulted in our being unable to tie down a final costing for the event. This, along with unexpected legal fees associated with a last minute license review, has radically increased the cost of the festival." The statement goes on to say: "Faced with what is already an expensive event to put on and with these unexpected forced increases in security and police costs as well as a level of advanced ticket sales that is below our expectations we have no choice but to do the responsible thing and cancel the event." Those who have already purchased their tickets in advance are being advised to refer to their point of purchase for a full refund.
