An island. Literally.

What happens when an elite team of international festival curators takes on a massive island territory, and the reality of the physical build collides head-on with the dream?

From the initial, progressive vision to a total construction nightmare, this is the definitive, inside story of a broken paradise.

In Part 1, Obonjan co-founder Dan Blackledge joins me to track the meteoric rise from Northern club promotions to the high-stakes, ticking-clock tension of the Obonjan build. We go inside the immense vision, the impossible contract, and the final, breathless countdown on the mainland docks in Croatia while a building site waited on the other side.

Dan joins me with the kind of raw, funny, and breathtaking honesty that you rarely hear in this industry.
