2026/09/24

You might see yourself as a bit of a festival veteran because you’ve managed an impressive four events this summer but today’s guest calls that tally “July”. Mr Rob Kellas, of TPD TV and View From The Afternoon fame, plugs in a third mic and explains why “just” 19 festivals, across the UK, wider Europe and the States is a quiet year for them. How his insanely popular channel and pod are succeeding in a world where not all promoters recognise their value. And why it’s impo...

Just when we thought it was going to be a quiet week, Ed Sheeran sets fire to himself and Slipknot drop a single that the music press love while the rest of the world hate. Gav and James absorb it all alongside rating new music, the rise of rock and metal influencers and a “mad” journalism tale from a past life. Oh, and there’s a horse.

Hayrock Headaches (with Fred Thirst)

Some might say that you’d need to be crazy to start a festival, but that didn’t stop the team behind Hayrock giving it a go with a special tribute theme bash. “However, things started to unravel quickly as bands pulled out, photographers became stage managers and the “bin bag” stage caught the wind. Thankfully Stiff Bizkit’s Fred Thirst survived the experience to tell the tale… Your pod merch: www.nomad-stores.com/collections/2-promoters-1-pod We go again, every Thursday morning.
