2 Promoters, 1 Pod

Ok nerds, you want to hear about the the logistics of booking Mariner and making sure the stage is set for it exactly as planned? The importance of volunteers and why James and the ATG crew hope the army of familiar faces follow them to the new site? And Gav's questionable grasp of spreadsheets and tech to run a £1million festival?

Well, today we're here to tell you.

It's exactly one month out from Damnation and planning is in full tilt with stage times, merch runs, flyposting campaigns, extra day tickets and a macaroni van all top of the agenda.

But who takes control of what? What tweaks have been made to make the weekend even better? And how do you make sure a fresh face wants to return?

It's a lot to consider, especially at a time when the 2027 tickets are already on sale. 

This is your (detailed) path to Damnation...

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.
