Miguel and Jesse are joined by guest Niki to reflect on what made Glastonbury 2025 feel so special - from smooth crowd flow and standout sets to playful chaos and late-night surprises. Whether working long shifts or soaking it all in, we each came away with the same feeling: something just clicked this year.

Just before heading to Worthy Farm, Jesse and Miguel sit down with Amy Bee Sting, creative director of OMG It’s The Church - the Glastonbury late-night institution known for salvation, saxophones, and serious chaos. Amy shares some very unholy memories from her years on and off stage, and there’s even a brief appearance from The Reverend himself. Glastonbury stories, backstage madness, and sins that cannot be unseen. Explicit content. Amen.

In this episode, we're joined by Bilal from Festival Sounds to reflect on the magic of Glastonbury 2024 – the standout sets, surprises, and unforgettable moments that have stuck with us months later. We also dive into the drama of the 2025 ticket sale (spoiler: it didn’t go well for some of us…), debate the new system, and look ahead to what we know – and hope – is coming for Glasto 2025.

Jessie chats with Dan Tsu, the passionate and knowledgeable venue manager of the Rum Shack in The Common. Dan shares fascinating stories and insights about the unique blend of music, spirituality, and culture that defines The Common. From the awe-inspiring Temple with its 360-degree amphitheatre to the unforgettable secret set by Fred Again last year, Dan’s tales will leave you buzzing with excitement. Plus, find out how you can contribute your own stories and voices to an upcoming special episode. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that celebrates the essence of Glastonbury!

Jessi and Miguel give a quick update on their year so far and plans for the summer, then we invite on our guest, Joe, who grew up just 10 miles from the festival and has been to every Glasto since 2005 when he was just 15. We talk about his stories and experiences, he also gives us the lowdown on ‘locals tickets’ and who actually is eligible for what, and then he tells us all about his latest festivals in which he’s gone as a parent and brought his daughter. Joe tells us all about the Kidzfield and opens our eyes to the wonders of doing Glastonbury with children.

Miguel and Jessi are joined by Jay, or as he is better known, Beans On Toast, for an epic episode of festival stories. From Beans’ first Glastonbury in 1997 at the ripe young age of 16, he hasn’t missed one yet. We hear tales of fence jumping, open mic gigs, and meeting Billy Bragg. A proper veteran of the festival who went from punter, to crew, to performer, and this year will mark 25 years since his first Glasto. We absolutely loved having you Jay, see you in the fields very soon!

It’s been a while!
