Festival Sounds

Tilly and Bilal dust off the mic and get back to some festival line up chat, including Isle of Wight, Reading and Leeds, All Points East. We are not talking about Kanye - we recorded before the news.

Joshua Idahoan was a breakthrough act at music festivals in the summer of 2025 playing across the country including at Glastonbury and Green Man.  We are both huge fans and he joined us to discuss his journey, his UK tour and his love of festivals.

Fiona-Lee shares what it was like experiencing festival as both a performer and first-time attendee, from navigating the massive site to finding random performers. We dive into the creative process behind their song "Mother," exploring the inspiration (occasional stunned silence!) and songwriting journey with other artists that brought this track to life. The conversation covers a lot with this incredible up-and-coming musician.
