Ampocalypse

In this episode of Ampocalypse, Damian FitzGerald is joined by Matt Hughes, also known as a Forest, for another 2000Trees special. Matt is faced with a very different version of the festival, where the world beyond the perimeter has collapsed and everyone inside has to figure out how to survive.

Matt weighs up the importance of water, vegetation and the natural resources surrounding the festival, considers which types of festival-goers might actually be useful when things go wrong, and decides where he would establish his territory, choosing the Forest Stage as his base of operations. From there, the plans quickly expand to include tree houses, a moat and everything needed to turn it into a post-apocalyptic stronghold.

With the community beginning to take shape, attention turns to leadership, morale and the role music could play in keeping everyone together when survival becomes the new headline act. Matt also wastes very little time deciding that democracy might not be the answer, with dictatorship emerging as his preferred leadership style.

In this episode of Ampocalypse, Damian FitzGerald is joined by Vinnie Caruana of I Am the Avalanche for another 2000Trees special, as he imagines the festival becoming the last safe place in a world that has fallen apart.

Vinnie considers how the community and compassion found at festivals could become the foundations of a new society, why preppers would suddenly become some of the most valuable people around, and what supplies would be essential during those crucial first 24 hours. There’s also the small matter of choosing who should take charge, with Vinnie putting his trust in the Scousers to lead the survivors and deciding he’d need to teleport his wife to 2000Trees to make sure the new world actually stays organised.

With survival covered, attention turns to keeping everyone sane, the importance of music and morale when times get tough, and where at 2000Trees Vinnie would choose to establish a permanent base for the community.

In this episode of Ampocalypse, Damian FitzGerald is joined by Daniel P. Carter and Soren Bryce of RECLUS.É for another special recorded at 2000Trees Festival.

With the outside world falling apart and 2000Trees potentially becoming the last safe place around, Dan and Soren face the big decisions that could determine whether the festival community survives. Do they stay within the festival grounds or risk heading into the unknown? Which festivalgoers would prove most useful when things go wrong, from seasoned veterans and mosh pit warriors to the preppers who somehow arrived ready for the end of the world?

They also tackle the practicalities of keeping everyone alive, including water, food trucks and the suddenly very important portaloos, becoming the first Ampocalypse guests so far to recognise the vital need for toilet paper. They then decide where they would establish a permanent base, who the survivors could rally behind, with Cancer Bats emerging as potential leaders, and why music could be essential for keeping morale high and perhaps even starting a revolution with the right playlist.

Would you stay at 2000Trees and build a new community, or take your chances beyond the festival gates?

In this episode of Ampocalypse, Damian FitzGerald is joined by Kris Barras of The Kris Barras Band to talk about the new album Monsters We Made, the band's evolving sound and the creative process behind the record.

Kris discusses the stories behind the new songs and how the album came together. He also talks about working with bandmate Josiah Manning as producer, balancing darker themes with big melodies, choosing which tracks to release ahead of the album and why there could be a different fan favourite for everyone.

Then it's time for Kris to face his Ampocalypse as a gigantic kaiju rises and begins tearing its way through civilisation. Where does he hide? What's the escape plan? Which musician is he rescuing along the way? And when survival expertise is needed, is Bear Grylls the man for the job?

Watch now on YouTube and Spotify, or listen on your favourite podcast platform.

In this episode of Ampocalypse, Damian FitzGerald is joined by Paul O’Sullivan of Greywind for another 2000Trees Festival special. Paul imagines the festival becoming the last safe place on Earth, discussing why the Forest Stage could become the heart of a new society, whether seasoned festival veterans or preppers would have the edge, and how music and morale might be just as important as food and shelter when civilisation collapses.

Paul also reveals his own survival priorities, including making sure there’s plenty of Dr Pepper and pizza to keep everyone going, while explaining why a strong sense of community could be just as important as any stockpile of supplies. It’s another fun journey into the Ampocalypse, packed with laughs, festival chaos, and the impossible survival decisions that make every episode unique.

In this episode of Ampocalypse Damian FitzGerald is joined by Simona Cutifani, Sam Canfield, Cameron Beach and Josh Hodge from Glass Bridges for another special recorded at 2000Trees Festival. Together they imagine the festival becoming the last safe place on Earth, discussing who would be best equipped to survive, what supplies would become essential in the first 24 hours, and why community spirit could be the difference between rebuilding civilisation or watching it collapse.

The conversation explores whether one of the festival ponds could provide a reliable source of water, where the safest place to establish a new community might be, and why Don Broco could be the ideal band to lead the survivors into a new future. Blending practical survival strategies with plenty of humour, this is another journey into the Ampocalypse from 2000Trees Festival.

In this episode of Ampocalypse, Damian FitzGerald is joined by Banks Arcade to imagine 2000Trees Festival as one of the last safe places on Earth. Together they tackle the ultimate festival survival scenario, debating whether to stay behind the festival gates or risk the unknown beyond, while exploring who would thrive, who would struggle, and what it really takes to build a community when civilisation has collapsed.

From seasoned festival veterans and battle-hardened mosh pit warriors to the importance of water, food and keeping morale alive through music, this episode is packed with humour, quick thinking and plenty of unexpected answers. Banks Arcade reveal where they would establish their base, who they would trust to lead a new society, and even whether cannibalism might become an unavoidable reality if survival came down to impossible choices.

In this episode of Ampocalypse, Damian FitzGerald is joined by Tobias Osland and Ferdinand Aasheim of Hammok for a special 2000Trees Festival edition, where the music stops and survival begins. Together they imagine 2000Trees as the last safe place on Earth, debating what it would take to build a new society when the outside world has fallen.

The conversation explores why clean water and functioning toilets could become the festival’s most valuable resources, whether seasoned mosh pit warriors would outlast everyone else, and why festival preppers might quickly become the most sought after people in camp. Tobias and Ferdinand also discuss choosing the right leader for a post-apocalyptic community, with Glassjaw emerging as unexpected contenders, before deciding which supplies would matter most in the first 24 hours, the songs that would keep hope alive, and where the safest place to establish a permanent base at 2000Trees.

If you’ve ever wondered whether a music festival could become humanity’s final refuge, this is the episode for you.

In this episode of Ampocalypse, Damian FitzGerald is joined by Ally Dickaty and Danny Dolan of The Virginmarys for a special 2000Trees Festival edition, where they’re faced with one simple question: if the apocalypse began while the festival was in full swing, what would they do? From deciding whether to stay inside the festival or make a break for it, to debating which festival-goers would be most likely to survive, the conversation is packed with humour, creativity and plenty of festival wisdom.

Ally and Danny discuss why festival veterans might have the edge when society collapses, the importance of securing water and supplies in the first 24 hours, who they’d trust to lead a brand-new community, and where they’d establish the ultimate safe haven inside 2000Trees. Along the way they explore the importance of keeping morale high, proving that even at the end of the world, music would still have an important role to play.

In this episode of Ampocalypse, Damian FitzGerald is joined by Tim Wheeler of Ash for the final Download Festival special to discover what would happen if Download Festival became the last safe place on Earth.

With the outside world in ruins, Tim weighs up whether to stay or make a run for it, identifies the festival infrastructure that becomes essential to survival, and debates which festival goers would thrive when civilisation falls apart. From burger vans and backstage supplies to veteran campers, mosh pit warriors and unlikely political leaders, the conversation blends humour with surprisingly thoughtful survival strategies. Along the way, Tim explains why morale could be just as important as food, why Tom Morello could make an ideal leader, and how he’d secure his own future during the crucial first 24 hours of the Ampocalypse.
