Hear all about what’s new in the Silver Hayes area this year, from immersive experiences, to new stages, light installations, and some of the top electronic artists in the world.
theatre & circus area at the festival since the second ever Glastonbury? This episode, Jessi interviews Paddy Bramwells and Ed Petrie, two wonderful and hilarious comperes for stages in the T&C fields at the festival. With many festival years under their belts, they have fantastic stories to tell, and also discuss some lesser known corners of the area you may not yet have discovered.
Join us as we delve into the dynamic world of music festival booking with Adam Gainsborough, the founder of This Is Now Agency. In this episode, Adam shares his 10 years of Glastonbury experience as an agent, a DJ, and a booker, leading up to his current role as the music booker for the Greenpeace stage.
We return to discuss our 2022 Glastonbury Festival - both Miguel and Jessi experienced the festival in new ways this year. We talk about our best bits, any lessons learned, best musical performances, and we also touch on overcrowding rumours. Then already it's time to think about next year! Ticket day is HERE! How are we preparing? Who are we hoping to see on the line up next year? We also have some great clips sent in by listeners. We hope you enjoy this latest episode of GlastoCast!
Miguel and Jessi are joined by Jay, or as he is better known, Beans On Toast, for an epic episode of festival stories. From Beans’ first Glastonbury in 1997 at the ripe young age of 16, he hasn’t missed one yet. We hear tales of fence jumping, open mic gigs, and meeting Billy Bragg. A proper veteran of the festival who went from punter, to crew, to performer, and this year will mark 25 years since his first Glasto. We absolutely loved having you Jay, see you in the fields very soon!
In this episode, we chat with TheGlastoThingy from Twitter, who is on a mission to document all facts and stats from the festival to find out if there is a pattern.
With only just over two months until the 2022 Glastonbury Festival, after a 3 year unplanned hiatus, the full line up poster has finally dropped! The GlastoCast gang are back together to talk about what we've been up to and welcome our incredible guest, Kaptin Barrett - Head of Music for both Boomtown Fair and Big Love festival. This man knows his stuff about music, and we invite him on to get us excited about lesser-known acts on the 2022 Line Up.
We're back! Find out how we spent what was supposed to be Glastonbury weekend and how we dealt with the sad news of the cancellation. We also have a chat with the Creative Director for Greenpeace at the festival about the challenge of running a field combining festival vibes with a call to activism.
Attend the festival and support a good cause
Glastonbury tickets are tough to get, but if you missed out, there is another fantastic way of experiencing the festival – you can volunteer!
For the first time ever, we have guests in our studio: a group of experienced volunteers talk about the good bits, and not so good bits, of one of the few legitimate ways of attending Glasto after tickets sell out.
It’s been a while! Sorry everyone for the delay, but we’re back with our unofficial Glastonbury Festival podcast, and it’s the first episode since we started this project where we’ve been and come back from Worthy Farm!
We have so much to talk about that will probably span many episodes, but for our first one back we talk about our arrivals, favourite moments, the new areas for 2019 (Arcadia Pangea, Glastonbury On Sea, IICON…), lessons learned for next time, and also we finish with a chat around TICKET DAY – the most terrifying day in our calendar years! What are our tips / rituals?
It’s our longest episode yet and we had so much fun recording it. As always let us know what you think! Get in contact on our socials – Twitter @glasto_cast !
We talk reducing waste and keeping your items safe before you take them all home.
We talk to Glasto veteran turned Media Manager Paul about his new experiences from the other side of the stage.
In this episode, we share stories on our favourite performances at Glastonbury Festival, give tips on how to try not to get lost from your mates (spoiler: you probably will), salivate over the amazing food options, and discuss our plans for the next series.
Glastonbury Festival is vast and there are many campsites available so in this episode we talk about where we chose to pitch our tents and give advice on how you can make your own decision.
With the help of our listeners, we discuss the pros and cons of the different ways of getting to Glastonbury Festival and the best time to get there (spoiler: it's as early as you can).
It's Part II of our packing guide, and we talk about food, booze and cleanliness. Do you really go for five days without showering?
For those new to festivals, or even just new to Glastonbury Festival, we take a look at the big necessaries and what you need to know before buying them. We talk tents, sleeping gear, chairs, clothing and footwear.
In this episode, we introduce ourselves, and ask, why podcasting? Why Glastonbury? Hear stories of our first times' at Worthy Farm, and hear us try to put into words the "magic" that kept us coming back year after year.
Coming soon - a guide to help you prepare to Glastonbury Festival full of tips and interactivity.
