It’s almost time for festival season, and we’ve got all the latest updates!
The Download Takeover is open for band submissions—so if you’re in an unsigned band, this is your shot at playing the festival. We also discuss the secret sets confirmed for this year, the latest lineup details, and some truly bizarre festival facts (yes, the Download Dog is throwing 200 horns this year).
Beyond Download, we also talk about other major UK festival updates, including Radar Festival’s expansion, Hammerdown’s lineup, and even a look at Glastonbury’s rock scene. If you’re a fan of rock, metal, and live music, this episode is for you!
