AGE RESTRICTED FEST & A CHAT ABOUT THE SEASON AS A WHOLE | What Went Down At TRNSMT Festival 2023

[@saraburgess8653]

I like it when the pods just turn into you all having a chat.

[@VeteranHedonist]

Me too. It's strangly weird that just listening to someone else's conversation is entertaining. I've got a thing about watching American reaction videos to obscure UK music. What has my life become? 😁✌

[@angelaking6096]

Lovely to see the progression from "young lads festival life" to the more mature, "great festival content can sustain our grown up lifestyle." You are making the transition a pleasure to watch. Thanks Danny, Mary, and Rob!

[@ckellyedits]

Send half the team to Download that want to go, Rob and the lot who don't go do something new. Then you get two vids, and a lot of us are interested in what a Rob-less video would look like (no offence to Rob, just something different innit?). Worth a thought!

[@babygravey]

Remember the one Mary did her own one when they split up between leeds and Reading that video was great one of my faves.

[@paulcowley7045]

[@mathewjohnstone9633]

Great vibe you 3. Mary's perspectives are appreciated by you all.

[@raychul33]

The way you feel about Sam Fender is the way I feel about the 1975 😂. Both boring to me personally, but we all like different things 😊

[@OfficialAnthem]

I second a lot of these comments, you can't please them all. As long as you're putting out videos that you're proud of, the right audience will appreciate them at any given time. Keep doing what you're doing 👑

I much preferred this type of podcast, i liked the mix of general chat / update towards the beginning of the podcast and the theme of transmit throughout and little random convos

[@MrDistinctlyAverage]

Loved this pod. Great group, and really appreciate the more stripped-back approach. Your characters are the content; dont get too caught up in the minutiae, and just let the convo flow. Much love. Edit: With regards to what content I'd want to see you cover on the pod: I'd personally appreciate learning more about you all as individuals. What do you enjoy doing outside of the channel? What brought you to this point? What do you all do for work? Obviously only share what you're comfortable with us knowing, but it would be cool to hear about how you became the legends that you all are today.

[@haylmarriott]

I love how chill this podcast is, just mates having a crack. Would love to see a podcast about viewer interactions, most memorable interactions, that kinda thing 😊

[@louisalove3912]

I could have got you into a festival to see Skooter headlining at a tiny festival this weekend in my hometown, Wrexham. Rock the Park. If only I'd seen this when it was released!

[@jovibunce1267]

Don't normally comment on anything but just wanted to say I loved this podcast. Really organic... Keep up the great work chaps!

[@jonnyhiles]

Great vid guys - the WWD's have been great this year with so much content from the main channel and enjoying Danny hosting. One bit of feedback - any chance we can drop the gay jokes Danny? 🙃They often kill the vibe and just don't add lols.

[@Doctordynomite]

It's so much nicer, when your chatting... Live stream, was fun. Hope you do that again soon

[@TheGreenEyedMoose]

I would deffo recommend Primavera Sound it is a 3 day city festival but you have the whole of Barcelona to explore and some pretty good bars. One that me and my mates had a great night at was a bar called Boll*cks which was a great hard rock/metal bar. The festival itself is fun and pretty spectacular how close it is to the sea.

[@andrea.mojarro]

Loved this mix of crew and Rob don't worry, we're still here devouring every vid 🤘

[@jasminerose3114]

top tier podcast as usual 👑 a nice change and love these more chatty style ones than just recapping the festival vids 🤘🏻

[@mat_t]

Great flow and vibes this week. Really enjoyed it guys

[@ThatGirlYouSawOnce]

These podcasts genuinely brighten up my work days so here's my contribution to podcast ideas (i.e. things I like to talk about with my mates so maybe yous would too) 1. You have 5 gigs left, which artists would you like to see live before music dies forever? 2. Each person creates their dream festival line up, with headliners, smaller/lesser known bands, location, length, and other attractions 3. Say you were to attend a festival that covers one music genre per day (without getting too nitty gritty on niche genres) - who would be your perfect headliner for each day? (e.g. Rock, Metal, Indie, Jazz etc) 4. A "who's most likely to" podcast could be fun - could be audience submitted questions 5. reaction vids to old videos would also be fun!

[@danielbryan3279]

Loved the poddy as always, you have such great energy and charisma together. I think you should do a poddy on what you think about the disposable vape ban at R&L this year!

[@greggschofield142]

Met Rob and Jake in Leeds train station this morning - such lovely lads

[@lewisdunn509]

Have you guys ever considered Arctangent festival? Its the sister festival to 2000 trees. Line up is always weird as hell could be that something different you are chasing!

[@ZetaDellSmithMusic]

Not a podcast idea but would love to see a Mary vlog/segment on the reg✨

[@matthewhunt8051]

DANNY I'd back 🎉🎉 the best podcast are the ones where u just turn up and have a great candid conversation

[@gingermadman]

There's lots of new festivals popping up that are inner city things trying to fit into what slam dunk used to be - there's also CONNECT festival in Edinburgh which you've not done before. Lots of stuff popping up

[@mitchellcorfield3164]

Pods that turn into mates chatting are always the better ones... Major props for mentioning the underrated TDCC.

[@ingerpoder7527]

I agree, you should have gone to Mad Cool. I went there last year and the line-up was once in a lifetime insane! Also fantastic change of weather. That festival is like the European Coachella imo.

[@gazzadona]

From Friday the 6th October to Sunday the 13th of October Hull fair is on which is the largest travelling fair in Europe and could could be a good holdover idea for a video

[@TheSteveChamp]

Videos have all been great this year. Great to see the different vibes at festivals. Don’t listen to the 1 or 2 comments criticising. You can’t win ‘em all, just most of ‘em

[@andrea.mojarro]

BUT just most of them 😏

[@VeteranHedonist]

No matter what you do in life, you'll always have your critics. I love these guys. I've only just discovered TPD and subscribed and became a Patreon so they can keep doing what they're doing. I like it how they actually do respond to you too. I know how busy they are, but it's really good when they do something as little as replying to you. It makes it all worth the while that they have time for their fans. ❤ But on your original comment, you won't please everyone or agree with everyone. Just like I don't ģet why they're so into the 1975 (my year of birth). The world would be a boring place if we were all into the same music etc...

[@3amPaternal]

Love the videos this year team. Keep it granular!

[@louisalove3912]

I think next year you should try something like SXSW Festival, Burning Man, Lollapalooza. A USA tour of festivals if you can get to a point where you can leave your full-time jobs and go on the road, our even save up money to take a sabbatical. Maybe not even the USA, but an America's festival tour ranging from Canada all the way down to Argentina!

[@VeteranHedonist]

Mary, talking about a festival being full of kids makes me feel extremely old. 🙄 And I was brought up on Scooter in my rave days, back in the 90s. I was always into my "Proper" music, but loved the cheesy stuff too. Scooooooter! Back in the house! 😁

[@jessramirez1737]

“There was just too much fucking going on” Phrasing Rob 😂

[@AdamBriffa]

My favourite pod from you guys! Keep this open style of format where the conversation just rolls without doing the usual *off topic conversation* ... "SO! We arrive at..." I think with your guy's style of content making it's nice to have a relaxed pod and not having to re-live the whole festival, unless there are main points. Perhaps it would be good if Rob, while you're editing the main videos if you find anything worth noting for the pod, send it to Danny to then bring it up as a very vague outline, then just let the conversation go around that. The chat about your love for bands etc is the best bit, what's the most controversial things you've seen at the fests you went to, what made you raise your eyebrow etc etc.

[@jessramirez1737]

Funny thing is 2 of the 4(or 5 if you include EDC) largest 3 day festivals in the United States don’t have camping either. Lollapalooza in Chicago and Austin City Limits. So I think that rules both of them out in the future.

[@Podge2285]

[@Hay-md2he]

I had tickets to see two door, wombats and twin Atlantic a week before download but it was cancelled

[@gingermadman]

T in the park stopped because it was about 10x as bad as TRNSMT for crowd problems. Also there was no easy way to the festival site - I remember I queued up at midnight one time and didn't get on a coach back home until 8am, I only live an hour away

[@hailhail91]

[@resurrectthewitch]

That Royal Blood gig where they were boring supporting Foo Fighters… Was that at Milton Keynes Bowl? Cause fuck me, yeah that gig bored the arse off me. It didn’t help that their sound was shite.

[@matthewmclister5492]

Hear what you’re saying about festivals being quite similar. But reckon you’d love Connect in Edinburgh coming up in three weeks. More mature crowd/different line up than others I’ve seen (Primal Scream, Fred Again and Boygenius the headliners). Ties in with the fringe just finishing and don’t think you guys have done Edinburgh before? Different vibe completely to Glasgow/Trnsmt if you were sick of the repetition and the underagers.

[@danieldevine]

T in the Park got cancelled cause too many people kept dying - they wouldn't say that, instead blaming logistics and some other environmental crap if i remember right. Balado where it was for years was 15 minutes from my house so I'd have it back there in a heartbeat. Make it over 18 at least, maybe at a push over 21 because here people bams.

[@theframo]

Is there a FIB vid coming out?

[@ThePinguPingu]

This. Hope so.

[@dinibo]

It's a bit funny because at this size you have an audience that watches for different reasons. Some want to see the festival, some want to see specific bands, some want a travel experience, some just want to see you get wasted, and some just love seeing you be a hilarious group of friends doing anything at all. You can't please everyone all the time but you are putting out great content each week at a lightning pace. I really liked TRNSMT but understand not every video will hit for every fan. Don't get too hard on yourselves, just keep being true to yourselves and your viewers and you can't help but succeed no matter where you go!

Boomtown would be better if they didn't have all the preachy 'the message' or the 'we support the current thing' narratives. You go a festival to rave and leave the world at home. Not go and have to get the message pumped into your ears and eyes. If I wanted that I'd stay at home and watch BBC news 24 hours

[@JackMoody-e7p]

@@tuberantz4676 guessing you've never been? Boomtown has some great messages attached sure, but half the people who go won't ever be engaged with it and just go rave to dnb on whatever drugs they fancy. If you want to go engage with equality, sustainability, spirituality etc you can do that too. BBC news is the opposite side of that so not really sure what you mean there. But it's deffo not at all what you said

@@tuberantz4676 It's hardly rammed down your throat, if you want to just rave and have 0 political notions that's incredibly easy. If you're going to be a snowflake about a few of the posters and artwork dotted around then it's probably not for you.

[@tuberantz4676]

@@KWin246 I'm far from a snowflake brother and yes I agreed it is easily avoided. My gripe is why is the mainstream political narratives infiltrating all aspects of our society? It's just propaganda. Raving shouldn't be about that, it divides people. Raving was always about leaving your troubles and differences at the door to come together as one big family. Long story short, I'm pissed off that politics is creeping into everything these days. Especially some of the narratives that are just down right hypocritical. For example.... Welcome refugees, we support open borders while in a festival surrounded by a massive fence lol. By all means, preach, spread and be passionate about your beliefs and opinions. I may not agree with them but I will fight for your right to express them. But let's try keep politics out of raving

My best mate and I were both 14 when we did our music festival (Sonisphere in 2009) but my dad took us. Had a great time and have been to many festivals since then and fully agree that there should be some kind of age restriction or parental supervision rule in place. It seems like a few festivals in the UK are notorious for being full of kids who are probably on their first trips without their family around and they just get fucked up. We all do dumb shit when we're young and it's part of growing up but, as an adult, I don't particularly enjoy sharing the same space as a bunch of kids who don't know how to handle whatever they've drunk/taken and don't know how to behave. It can really spoil the vibe.

Geoff Ellis is the Trnsmt/ Tin the Park guy. Also T died cause they had to move site to a place which wasn't as good and then 2 bad years of sales basically killed it. Won't come back now tho as trnsmt sells well.

[@Callumh1113]

What happened to the pod with rob damiani?

[@lylukk]

t in the park ended up being cancelled due to the troubles that happened over the last few years of it. it had basically become a ned (chav) fest and basically became the place for teenagers to spend the weekend getting absolutely off their faces on god knows what. the campsites became quite shitty places to be with fights and generally anti social behaviour, hence why DF decided to do trnsmt as an inner city festival. 3 people died at the final t in the park which put the nail in the coffin for the festival

[@p.h.234]

I agree with what you said, T did become dangerous towards the end. Now TRNSMT just as bad but they all leave at the end of the day so there's less for the organisers to deal with. It's just full of wee bams coked and pissed out their minds. You would have to pay me to go back to TRNSMT.

[@matthewmclister5492]

They originally marketed Trnsmt as a more mature festival before it quickly reverted to type. It’s a shame normal music fans can’t have a festival to enjoy in Glasgow without these bams ruining it for everyone else.

[@ckellyedits]

[@thegrinderman1090]

I'm not massively into hardcore, but after being disappointed with the major festival lineups, I went to Outbreak on the Saturday and it was brilliant. Soul Glo, Machine Girl, Jesus Piece (most powerful voice I've ever heard), Death Grips. With loads of beers and great vegan food in-between.

[@chattyman4740]

The age restriction should be 18 across the board for rock festivals, maybe even 21 for some of this EDM stuff where it's an older crowd, anyhow. I can't see a downside for the organisers either. If their event is going to sell out anyway, the question is, how much will a 16-year-old spend? Not as much as an adult - so get rid. Also, why bring people in that can get you done by the licensing, is more likely to need police or medical attention, and is essentially a vulnerable person at a place where there are a lot of adults that are drunk or high.

[@daveyp1990]

You guys should give red wine and full fat coke a go

[@JScot92]

Lots of people I know (i'm Scottish) would never go to Transmit. It's a combination of the overly young crowd and the dull city centre location. It's not an experience. Scotland lost its only big festival when T in the Park ended. I'd rather go to something like Belladrum, even though it's not on the same level. At least it feels like a festival. Can't wait for the Tomorrowland vid btw :)

[@unknownstuntman78]

Just made the same kinda comment above then read yours 😆 Transmit looks terrible T in the P was the glory days

[@matthewmclister5492]

Trnsmt is decent enough music wise but the young crowd is really off putting (I’m similar age to Rob so get how they feel about it). There’s a lot of people who aren’t there for the music but just there because it’s a big event in Glasgow. It’s a shame there isn’t an event for them to have and leave music fans alone. Radically different crowd from your average gig going fan in Glasgow which is a shame.

[@sevendenton9229]

Live in Glasgow and wouldn’t go near Transmit. Average age be lucky to be 18. Doubt the powder you saw people tanning was MDMA, council Charlie has become an endemic in Glasgow in recent years. What a mess.
