45 ATG bands are here, and four hours before the rest of the world finds out - Arcane Roots aside! 

Gav and James discuss ripping up the promo plan when Radio 1 come calling, ATG bands taking off and Jamie Lenman being the first artist ever to ask to go DOWN the bill.

Then they get stuck into to as much geeky goodness as possible; playing tent Tetris with camping allocations, the chaos of organisational timelines, relationships with suppliers and what impact a Glasto fallow year has on the rest of the summer’s events. 

With a completely unnecessary and likely provocative AI grenade tossed in for good measure. 

Enjoy!

After a long break from the mailbag, Gav and James dive back in for the first Q&A since October.

And what do the masses want to know about? If spotting and booking up and coming talent is luck or talent, how to weed out shit live bands before they hit your stage and what would James rob from Gav if his name were to be plucked from the Jug of Joy?

We go again, every Thursday morning.

The first wave of Damnation bands have been announced and they are bangers.

But it wasn’t without mishaps, leaks and panic… as Gav explains.

And James lays out his excitement for the year ahead from album release hopes to festival plans.

“For the fucking millionth time…”

We go again, every Thursday morning.

It’s 2026 and Gav and James are ready to go again but there’s one small festive task to wrap up… the best albums of 2025.

Surely they agree on most of the top ten, right? 

Right?

We go again, every Thursday morning.

Maybe it’s the post-tour blues, maybe it’s reaching 100 episodes or maybe it’s just the spirit of Christmas…

Whatever the reason, Gav and James bare their souls in an unusually personal pod, to tackle the highs and lows of their festive tour and the achievement of reaching the pod milestone.

We go again, every Thursday morning.

Gav and James have put together the best tour of 2026… and they want you to know about it first.

We go again, every Thursday morning.

While James basked in the glory (and ticket sales) following the outrageous ATG headliners announcement, Gav went on his travels for live music thrills. 

And it’s tougher to be more thrilling than a trip to London to see the mighty Radiohead, back to Glasgow for a triple whammy of LLNN, Pupil Slicer and Worn Out before an historic Kneecap performance at a sold out, 14,000 cap Hydro. 

Before all that though, what’s the early Xmas treat 2 Promoters have in store for listeners?

We go again, every Thursday morning.

The ATG headliners have been announced and they are belters.

Right from the top of the page one wish list: Primus, Chelsea Wolfe and Cult of Luna & Julie Christmas performing Mariner.

Gav and a very smug feeling James get into the details behind the treble coup.

We go again, every Thursday morning.

Gav might be in Egypt but it takes more than a £1,000, six-hour EasyJet flight seated beside a sweet racist Scottish granny to stop the man from fulfilling his pod duties. 

So from the luxury of a personal business suite inside a “palace” the boys get back to work, talking Scotland’s making the World Cup, Kneecap’s unbelievable hospitality and the “page one” ATG headliners.

We go again, every Thursday morning.

Damnation’s 20th birthday bash was a metal party for the history books.

Jaw-dropping performances, production so good it was head scratching and a guy who shat the bed.

James, Gav and Damnation’s trusted lieutenant, Dr Paul Farrington, climb out of their hangovers to discuss the weekend that was.
