Farm To Festival

This week's pod is James' emotional rollercoaster: from opening up about a serious health scare, being "pissed off" with a rival festival, to his passion for fence posts and playing invisible Minecraft... this one has it all.
He also explains the challenges of turning a sheep field into a festival site where you can watch The Gaslight Anthem and invites YOU to get involved.
We. Go. Again.

Big up the KZbin 2 Promoters 1 Pod fanbase! I'm always watching on KZbin. It's just cooler to see you guys react and bounce off each other, and not just hear your voices.

I'd absolutely get a mug but all merch will need 'we go again' on it 🤣

[@NeonSewer]

I am absolutely always here for any Therapy? and Wildhearts chat.

30:01 Great pod as always, but good to hear you guys discuss choosing bands and balancing your own personal tastes vs the good of the festival. A balance of both is needed to give a lineup some personality or everything becomes a safe choice. I feel very similar about choosing what songs and bands to feature on my youtube channel. I could do a safe Beatles or RS song every week, and I love those bands. But more personal choices leads to viewers (and even myself) discovering new bands to enjoy. Doing the same for festivals feeds the whole ecosystem, imho. Wildhearts are fab btw 🔥

Gav: Lews, James: Looos. I'm with Gav's pronunciation personally lol

[@artemisiapile3648]

Always here for subtle digs at Bloodstock.

My bingo card is whilst watching on KZbin if James is wearing a cap or not

[@elkippy]

We go again does sound fun. Be big into colourful variants of that too rather than just black

[@itspowerlucayo]

Big love James, hug in a field soon yeah? Let's build a festival!

[@ckellyedits]

That "Download Festival 2024" group would rip yer knitting, so many daft questions. The main one with nearly 70k folk is much much better and community spirited
