Mediterranea Metal Cruise - A metal ship for metal fans!

In episode 81 of Festpod - the Unofficial Rock Festival Guide, with hosts Neill Wilkinson & Rich Holmes:


As heavy metal music fans, we've been going to rock festivals for a long time - but never outside of the UK, and certainly not on a cruise ship! That's exactly what Mediterranea Metal Cruise is! And we're talking LUXURY. Amazing food, beautiful views of Greece and incredible metal acts make a festival far beyond the ones we're used to in the fields and parks of the UK.


Join us aboard the Celestyal Discovery as we talk about our first impressions of cruise life and the Mediterranea Metal Cruise festival so far.

Meet all six Takeover at Download bands playing in 2025

In this episode of Festpod, hosts Neill Wilkinson and Rich Holmes interview the six bands chosen to perform at the 2025 Takeover at Download. All Ears Avow, Collapse The Sky, Change Persona, Dacara, Two Year Break, and Exist Immortal all talk about their upcoming appearance on the Doghouse stage in June.


Every year, six unsigned bands get picked to play on the first day of Download Festival at Donington Park. The Doghouse stage in District X, what used to be called The Village, can host thousands of eager fans waiting to see the first live music of the event.


The process to pick those few bands is a hard slog of watching videos, listening to submissions and arguments between the panel about who deserves it more. Eventually, the panel reaches agreement, and the chosen bands get informed.


After Festpod's exclusive announcement of the bands picked to play, we now make contact with them and get their reaction to being selected. This is our chance to get to know those six bands before they head out on stage to a packed Doghouse tent.

The Takeover at Download is a huge opportunity for unsigned bands to play for thousands of Rock and Metal fans and can lead to future connections, gigs and development, if they impress the right people.


The stage is set, the excitement is peaking, and Download is about to begin.

62 - The final six bands play the 'Takeover at Download' 2024

In the 62nd episode of 'Festpod: The Unofficial Rock Festival Guide,' we get exclusive backstage access to the Takeover at Download.

Six bands were chosen from the hundreds who applied, and today they play the Doghouse Stage - a huge tent in the District X, or what used to be called 'the village' at Download Festival. We get to meet the bands and ask how this hugely significant performance went for them, on the biggest stage they've ever played.


We'll chat to:

  • Veiled
  • InDevth
  • The Gallowgate Murders
  • Flatline
  • InRetrospect
  • Bleed Again

with a final thought from Hevs (Heather Gibb - the organiser) at the end.


We hope you enjoy this one. Don't forget to subscribe.
