This is what you're saying...
I would just like to say that with the amount of people there, things went very well. The dance sence is a credit to it self.
Also the Drum & Base on satarday night was off the hook. Fabio & Grooverider are still all time number one and that department.

Kellie from Devon
First time for me 2! Went for the whole weekend and it was absolute quality! I've been to Ibiza e.t.c but i've never seen anything like it. Daft Punk, Lisa Lashes and Carl Cox my favs. Awesome! Ps:Taking my own toilet and shower next time....
Andy from Oxford
Wow... It my first time at Global Gathering, and I cant wait until next year! Daft Punk was out of this world, along with many other DJ's. Hixxy and MC Storm were brilliant as well. After all the dancing, the only problem I had was trying to find my tent, and with the amount of campers, at one point when it was dark, I spent an hour and half walking round, mainly in circles looking for it! Even the bit of rain we had was good. Massive thimbs up from me :)
roadruna, from dorset
It's always the big surprises that get me Digitalism, Erol Elkan. Then the likes of Erick Morillo, John Digweed, Armin van Buuren but the big showstopper was Daft Punk what an amazing set and the lighting took everyone's breath away. Disapointment with no Paul Van Dyk though and missing Deep Dish :-(
But the event was spoilt with the mindless yobbo's that seemed to prowl the site, nearly being mugged walking through the fairgrouns wasn't fun. Then to get back saturday night and the tent being broke into and badly damaged wasn't the best end thats after our chairs went missing on the friday :-( We weren't the only ones either!! But for the rest of the peeps amazing people great music!! But just how good were Daft Punk?? zip unzip it Tech-no-logic, tech-no-logic....
Jordan from Nottingham
As always, GG 06 was out of this world! Fatboy is the main man for sure! Pete Tong, Daft Punk and my all time faves Plump DJ'S were also fab. Fatboy played out some banging tunes on his beach set and as the rain started coming down, out came the fireworks to top off the set of the weekend! Missed out on the 3D glasses but word around the campsite on the Sunday morning was - 'they rocked'. After Fatboys amzing set we paddeled over to the Carl Cox tent and funked out to Alloy Mental who definately deserve a mention! Oh and who can forget the Silent Disco - what a laugh!
GG 06, what a memory - shame it had to end so soon! met some wicked people and looking forward to next year already!
Kerry D, Norwich
This was my 5th year at Global and my first year camping - was not loving the portaloos! But was loving the music and the atmosphere and the fact that the rain stayed off til saturday night. Most enjoyable sets: Groove Armada, Tiesto, Fat Boy Slim, Pendulum, Judge Jules and Tidy Boys. Top raving sesh, legs still aching now. Can't wait for next year.
Frances from Nottingham
Was my first yr at Global. It was ACE! Absoloutley fantastic! I can't decide which bit I loved the most - all of it was class! Met some wicked random people - can't remember what was said but I know I was smiling! Fatboy and Daft Punk were fantastic! Roll on next yr!!
Sarah, from Birmingham
wicked weekend. friday was fantastic but saturday was out of this world. see u next year!!!
sherrie from leicester
Went last year and thought GG was awesome, but this year was just something else all together. The line up was amazing, Daft Punk were great, but Fatboy Slim was by far the best act this year. Bring on GG'07!!!!!
Tony from Oxford
My 1st global. Was V.lucky and went as part of Poi Poi to teach and sell Poi in the camping area (next to the cinema). Had an absolute blast. Still buzzin. Didn't get to see as much as I would like to have. However, I was workin and yet not working at the same time. Met some awesome people and managed to pass on the Poi torch to a few who listened. Otherwise was glad to just to further the artform. Thanks to all who showed their support to our camoflaged tent. It was a pleasure to supply the tunes 24hrs for ya'll. Must go now - think my cherry IS broken... Peace x

Manoj from Birmingham
2006 was my 5th visit to Global. Fatboy Slim was kicking, what a mix.
Excellent atmosphere as usual. Highly recommended. In recovery now. Body feeling like it has has a hard workout.
Fab tunes all night long.
Looking forward to 2007 !!
Nicky from Wellingborough
Global G is the big boss of all festivals! Thee most vast array of dj talent anywhere in the world. With all tastes of music, there really is no better event for bringing the world of dance music together. Its like Ibiza, Majorca and Napa rolled into one. A big thanks to Radio 1 and godskitchen for such an amazing event, how 2007 can be any better who knows? But one thing is for sure, i'll be there in the thick of it again! :-)
WOODSY from cleethorpes
Although the music was good, the rest of the festival was very commercial with high prices for food and drink. If you bought drinks in the camping zone security stopped you bringing it into the performance area, why?
The organisation of security could have been better, cars were getting broken into by people going tooled up to do so, the people camping next to us had their car locks drilled out and their stuff stolen. When you pay over 拢100 for a camping ticket and can't pitch next to your car you'd expect the parking to be properly patrolled 24 hours.
Toliets as always needed to be cleaned more often, ones in the camping area were ok, but the performance arena was very bad!
It took over an hour to exit the site by car on Sunday; workmen had already removed the row signage from the carpark although most people hadn't got back to their cars, this made them very hard to find.
People we met were great, although the idea of having paid for (extra 拢50 per person) VIP benefits goes against the whole ethos of dance music culture.
Lionel
Global was WICKED!!! Roll on nest year, BOO Jungle......
Christian From Luton Town
Norman Cook dropping born slippy in as the fireworks went off at the beach stage - just as the rain began to come down - awesome
BJ

Just got back from what was a carnival of carnage! Global Gathering 2006. What an amazing day/night yet again. This year saw my 3rd GG and it was great. The radio 1 outdoor stage was magnificent Erick Morillo, Audio Bullys and Fatboy slim all played great sets, a real memorable moment for me was when 2 bi-planes complete with wingwalkers flew over the crowd and did loop the loops while the Audio Bully's were mashing up the MASSIVE outdoor sound system. Some say when the wind blows in the right direction you could hear the Music in China!! Great night!!!!!
Tom EQ
went to the saturday this year and it was awesome, morillo rocked it,above and beyond were great openers and armin van buren is the man
Alan from essex
Daft Puuk are complete legends. No other act came remotely close to them. Amazing.
Ian from Coventry
Wicked, abolutely FAB. I was a Global Gathering Virgin till yesterday and its the best thing i've done. The whole event was out of this world. Every single tent had be buzzing, i just didnt want to hang my dancing shoes up this morning. The DJ's were spot on, the other ravers were like me just there for a wicked time which was delivered by Global Gathering. Thanks
Neil from Luton
Been at Global this weekend, highlight for me has to be Daft Punk they are amazing i was blown away. I wonder if the inside of their helmets was sweaty?
Rachel From High Wycombe
DAFT PUNK-nuff said
John Beaver
Global 2005 was good crack!! I remember Sasha finishing the night and then us all going back to the campsite for a RAVE UP at the dodgems, oh yeh!!! and not forgeting the noodle bar, the chef though he was Lord of the Dance!!!!
JR from the Boro
You lucky people who are going, was supposed to be going but mate pulled out at last minute, was getting quite a buzz from the thought of going, the pictures and stories from last year look mental. Have to prepare for 2007 instead. Have fun you lucky lucky people =(
Matt, Leeds
Was at global last year & year before, it's the dance venue that will blow your mind! All the DJ's wear wicked especially the likes of Pete tong, judge Jules, James zabiela, Sasha, hernan cattaneo, fat boy slim & many others. The godskitchen tent was out of this world & the atmosphere was fantastic!!
Johnny Lincoln

Jama, Cheltenham
Global is awesome, the tunes, line up and production is excellent. The only downfall is the Chavs, attitudes of the minority and the robberies in the camping area.LEave your valuables at home!!!
Steve, Leeds
Myself and 3 of my mates went to GG last year for the 1st time and i lurved it. The Radio 1 Outdoor Stage really did create a wicked atmosphere and put us all in high spirits for the whole of Saturdays events...Sooo back again this year and cant wait to cut some shapes and go mental....watch this space!!!
Gary Stuart

Sharon from Stoke
Mobiles are not the most reliable form of communication so walkie talkies are a sound idea. I went the other year and had an awesome time.
Jayjear
Went last year for 1st time, only Saturday, not up for camping! Wicked event, Godskitchen and Polysexual were both bangin last year! Glad to see they have free water available this year. See you all this weekend at Global Gathering 2006!!!!
Stu from Swindon
Last year rocked, Tiesto on the beach made my weekend, nothing better than sun, sand and sweet sweet music!
Not going this year so make the most of it people, Daft Punk will be amazing
Squiddles in Banbury
Lost my global gathering cherry last year, what can i say its amazing. and from people i spoke to it just gets better every year.
only piece of advice, get into tents early as when we went to watch paul van dyk last year, the tent was bursting at the seams, no chance of getting in. Catch you soon
Nathan - Cardiff
My 2 best friends got engaged at Global last year, right on the beach. Was lovely. So this year we are all going back as a little anniversary. Oh and cos it's a fabulous weekend. Love it!
Linz
if your considering going at all you must must must go, you will not regret it. its not a rave, a rave is in one or two rooms with 3 good djs. global is like DANCE WORLD, thousands of people, hundreds of the finest djs from all the sub genres, and an atmosphere like nothing youve ever experienced.. listen to the people on this page because weve all experienced it first hand..its everything you anticipate and more..
dave
Well what can I say, GLOBAL GATHERING is here again. I've been every year and it continues to get bigger and better. The place to be this year is the GODS tent for the god himself Paul Van Dyk, then you have got to get your bosh on in the POLYSEXUAL tent with the Tidy Boys and Co! I'll see all 49,999 of you down the front!!!
Craig from Hull
Went last year as crew with the Eye Candy dances ended up by the RADIO 1 beech party and was loving it !! Its a pity its not a weekly event
Wil
Been every year, bit of advice, set off early because when you get near the site you might be looking at a 2 hour traffic jam. But its well worth it.
Marc Wilkinson
I went to global on the saturday for the very first last year, and had a wicked time from when i get there, got photos done from the day about 4 hours after i got home. It was mad to look at them and know i was just there. TIP - take a camera, take loads of pictures. It will give you goosebumps when you look at them after the event, even a year down the line. x
Claire from Redditch
Me and my mates are going for the first time this years. We went to Ibiza last year and to Homelands the years before. If it knocks the socks of them then we will definately be making a full weekend of 2007!
Cant wait to see Fatboy Slim, Erik Morillo and also the Polysexual tent!
Slinky ravers wear sunglasses @ night!
Gareth from Bournemouth!
went last year out of this world, saw pendulum so i was happy!!
ash, bpool
Global Gathering is just the best festival EVERY... We have been every year, just wish they had kept it Saturday afternoon until Sunday morning. When youve been clubbing for as long as us & dont do camping its just too long. So unfortunatly were not going this year :-( ... every one who goes will have the best time - RAVE SAFE KIDS ;-)
Anna

Donny from Slough
The Beach stage last year, the sand between my toes, jumping up and down with the thousands of people, i'm sure I could feel the ground bouncing! Jules banging out some amazing tunes, the bi-planes doing the loops the loops above us with the wing walkers on top, there with my best mate, the warm summer sun going down, everyone happy, who needs ibiza!
Neil From Ellesmere Port
we camped last year and it was wicked. after paul van dykes set we got lost on the way back to our tents. spent ages trying to find it abnd coudnlt but ended up chillin out with these really wicked people until the sun came up only to discover our tents were only just behind theirs!!.
Gemma from Lecister
