2 Promoters, 1 Pod

• Planning a Tour

  It's exactly one month until Gav and James hit the road for their maiden live tour which puts them in the unfamiliar shoes of the artist for the first time.But what exactly goes into planning a tour? Why is a tour manager important? Who is doing the driving and in what? How do you know how much merch to order? And please explain that 80/20 Vs deal again...In usual 2 Promoters, 1 Pod fashion, it's all laid bare, including how much promoters are paying for the pleasure  of our company. We go again, every Thursday morning.

• Sabbath Bloody Sabbath

  The greatest metal line-up of all time is heading to Birmingham as the world says its final, final, final farewell to Ozzy Osbourne as a live performer.Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Alice In Chains, Gojira, Mastodon and the drummer from Sleep Token are all on the poster but what exactly is going on? Is it a day of Sabbath classics? Are the bands playing 25 minute sets? And why did no one invite the Iron Maiden boys to the all-star gathering of guitar heroes?And is £412 for a "golden circle" pass taking the piss or fair as it's in the name of charity?Gav and James share their thoughts on it all, as well as the big letlive. announcement and the reaction to High on Fire joining the Damnation 2025 cast.We go again, every Thursday morning.

• Festival Food (Being on the wrong side of history)

  There are few things as important as your breakfast, lunch and dinner to soak up the beer and cider during your stay on a festival site for the weekend.But how do those delightful vendors get through a boggy farm in their ill-equipped cars, vans and trucks? How much do they pay? Who decides what they can and can't sell and why are the meals so bloody expensive?Luckily James is a man with more answers than listeners might expect from a simple "band booker" to address the issues at hand.But before that, we need to address the act of evil, that is offering non-vegan options at all.Will Gav and James join the Outbreak team on the wrong side of history?We go again, every Thursday morning.

• “Why won’t you tell us who is playing ATG?" - Q&A 10

  Today was the day we were all promised the big ATG reveal but James' "wild week of booking" quickly descended into a fortnight of madness and as the big man says himself "we work to the bands' schedule, they don't work to ours".So instead Gav and James tear through a bumper Q&A tackling venue upgrades, the challenges of booking band "packages, submissions from new acts, keeping announcements under wraps and if we feel bigger bands should reduce their fees to help festivals survive.We go again, every Thursday morning.
