Music festivals. My experience with them has been well documented on this podcast. I'm super glad they are a thing but the idea of running one just seems like such a huge amount of work that it makes my head spin.
Luckily, I’m joined by AJ Maddah - a man who founded Soundwave Festival and Harvest Festival which saw bands like Deftones, Incubus, Sigur Ros, Nine Inch Nails, Beck, Faith No More, Iron Maiden, Slipknot, System of a Down, Metallica, Linkin Park - just to name a tiny fraction.
What makes a festival good? What do you have to consider when booking a headliner? I mean, I don’t really have an answer so it is for the best that I just ask AJ.
