Episode 270 - Festival Fever Town Hall

Download

You may have noticed but England’s biggest festival, Glastonbury, took place recently. You know the score already - for a weekend a bunch of farmland in Somerset gets turned into a pseudo-city where people pay an crazy amount of money for a ticket to go and see some good, and some shit, bands.

This year was the biggest (and probably most expensive) yet, with Guns n Roses, Elton John and Arctic Monkeys headlining. Naturally it sold out almost instantly when it went on sale last year. For the most part, the festival was a success. You can see that if you watch the hours and hours of footage that are available on the BBC iPlayer (fi you’re in the UK) and on YouTube.

Chris watched a bunch of it and he has some opinions. Not just on Glasto, but on festivals more generally. Mark missed the entire thing cause he was in Krakow spoiling his liver on a stag doo. He was also able to conjure up some thought the the haze of a four day hangover though.

All this activity led us to decide to do a very special festival focused town hall. We hope you dig.
