2 Promoters, 1 Pod

James unveils the first wave of bands for his “absolutely not a metal festival” with headliners Blood Incantation and Neurosis playing alongside Møl, Holy Fawn, Conjurer, Slift, Messa, Employed To Serve and The Ocean… 

But before the boys get to the ATG ‘27 deathfest, they both have site visits to discuss, more new bands to fall in love with and yes, of course, tennis on the agenda.

You might see yourself as a bit of a festival veteran because you’ve  managed an impressive four events this summer but today’s guest calls that tally “July”. 

Mr Rob Kellas, of TPD TV and View From The Afternoon fame, plugs in a third mic and explains why “just” 19 festivals, across the UK, wider Europe and the States is a quiet year for them.

How his insanely popular channel and pod are succeeding in a world where not all promoters recognise their value. 

And why it’s important never to be bought by a shiny pass and promise of backstage glamour.

Just when we thought it was going to be a quiet week, Ed Sheeran sets fire to himself and Slipknot drop a single that the music press love while the rest of the world hate. 

Gav and James absorb it all alongside rating new music, the rise of rock and metal influencers and a “mad” journalism tale from a past life. 

Oh, and there’s a horse.

When two hours just isn’t enough to break down the best ATG yet… we go again!

This time Gav and James focus on the live performances the almost forgotten mishaps and answer all your most pressing questions.

We go again, every Thursday morning.

Gav and James dust off the ATG hangovers to dive back into what will go down in the history books as a festival for the ages.

A nervy pod show, the best set ever at Fernhill Farm and of course, that bloody bus. 

Strap in.

Well, it happened!

Our biggest live pod (by some distance) took place at 10am on the final morning of ArcTanGent and the listeners packed the Yokhai Stage for it. 

Gav and James discuss one-way mishaps, memorable sets and asking Julie Christmas awkward questions.

Before Julie herself and Johannes of Cult of Luna join the pod to remind Gav he needs subtitles.

ATG is now and you’re either waking up hungover this morning on a farm, making your way here or wishing you were.

Gav and James dive into the mailbag to get you through until the bands start.

James is in the midst of the ATG site build and Gav has pissed off to Turkey for his “10th holiday of the year”.

But those small hurdles can’t stop 2 Promoters talking about ATG’s big move in 2027.

Why? Where? How? And will we get a Forest Stage in the new gaff.

James answers all your questions.

Some might say that you’d need to be crazy to start a festival, but that didn’t stop the team behind Hayrock giving it a go with a special tribute theme bash.

“However, things started to unravel quickly as bands pulled out, photographers became stage managers and the “bin bag” stage caught the wind.

Thankfully Stiff Bizkit’s Fred Thirst survived the experience to tell the tale…
