Lost Vagueness started in 1998 as a casino after originating from an illicit bar on the outskirts of Glastonbury Festival; a small group gathering away from the throng of the festival before opening a cabaret venue on the site in 1998.

This grew to become a casino in 2000, complete with ballroom and silver service restaurant where visitors were required to don full evening wear, while all around other festival-goers were decked out in camping gear - often covered with mud.

Mainly by word-of-mouth the festival within a festival became so large that by 2003 many were locked out of the area because of overcrowding, finally being closed down on health and safety grounds.

In 2004, Glastonbury Festival founder Michael Eavis gave over an even larger space to Lost Vagueness, allowing organisers to open the Paradise Lost Trailer Park for those wanting to get away from the scrum of the main festival.

The Lost Weekend festival intended for June 2006 was cancelled at the last minute when its financial backer pulled out. But rising like phoneix from a waterlogged field, Lost Vagueness are back for A Curious Invitation's Valentine's ball with their Chapel-o-Love.
