We’re back! And it’s time to discuss festival lineups, new artists, and some festival cancellation news for 2024. What are we going to be doing for festivals this year?

The team talk about their favourite and least favourite experiences of the 2023 live music year, including Rachel’s favourite toilets (of course), what we thought of Glastonbury’s new Car Henge area (we are not all in agreement) and most importantly who our favourite live acts of the year were

Should festivals try and have a target audience, and what does that mean for us? And how does Cat feel about this week’s major festival lineup announcements?

We talk about a very polite Starsailor concert and try to make some decisions about the music we’re going to have at our festival. We also try and establish our favourite live songs.

The gang talk about their glasto ticket day, whether there should be a lottery for tickets, and the first things we need to work out for getting our festival up and running

The team visited a city festival to see if that was the format for us. Listen to hear what we thought - plus we caught some of our favourite artists on their autumn tours, and a bit of Glastonbury ticket fear.

Meet the friends behind the podcast! What do we love and hate about festivals and why do we want to start one of our own? Also…how do we make a podcast? Welcome to Episode 1 of How to Build a Festival

Welcome to our new podcast, where three friends try and figure out what it takes to build a festival from the ground up with no contacts, no experience and no knowledge of how to do it. Join us on our journey as we learn how it’s done, and see if we think we can have a go ourselves. We’ll be talking to a wide range of guests, as well as just chatting about all the things that we love about independent music and festivals ourselves
