Q&A #2 "Why was Opeth's set cut short?"
April 25, 2024 06:00 - 1 hour - 60.2 MBIn the second of our monthly Q&A bonus pods, we try to get through as many burning questions as possible. Our biggest triumphs and screw ups? How has Brexit impacted attracting bands? What happens to our festivals if one of us is hit by a bus? Have we ever been held to ransom by a greedy band? And why didn't Opeth play their full set length at ATG last year? We answer them all. We go again, next Thursday morning. Be there.
Clashfinder Confessions: ATG
April 25, 2024 05:00 - 1 hour - 46.1 MBThe ArcTanGent stage times are out and everyone has been colour coding their digital day plans and having a social media rant about the decisions they've been forced to make. But what does the man responsible for the clashes, which can make or break your weekend, have to say for himself? How did Clown Core and Author & Punisher find themselves pitted against each other? Is Torpor at 11am on the final day really a bright idea? And do fans really want to see both Amenra and Tokky Horror? Ja...
Headliners of The Future
April 18, 2024 05:00 - 1 hour - 57.9 MBGreen Lung, Creeper, Brutus, Malevolence, Zeal & Ardor, Bob Vylan, Dinosaur Pile Up, Bleed From Within, Boston Manor... all names we hope to see headline our festivals in the future. But what does it take to get there and why does the path to the top of the bill seem so clear at 2000trees, yet so complicated at ATG and Damnation? Gav and James also have a bash at booking a stage for the other's festival, from the sublime (We Lost The Sea and Tomb Mould) to the ridiculous (Moon Tooth?) . ...
Cancelled Festivals & The Near-Death of Damnation
April 11, 2024 05:00 - 1 hour - 52 MB21 UK festivals have been cancelled or postponed so far this year with up to 100 at risk without Government support, according to the The Association of Independent Festivals. It's grim reading, so how are ArcTanGent, Damnation and 2000trees coping in this brutal landscape and what can be done to help the situation? Gav and James have a plan and it involves you! We go again, next Thursday morning. Be there.
Breaking Bands
April 04, 2024 05:00 - 48 minutes - 33.1 MBBob Vylan to Din of Celestial Birds, Idles to Amenra... have our festivals helped "break" bands to a larger audience in their scenes and if so, is that important to us or a byproduct of the job? Gav and James get in about it. We go again, next Thursday morning. Be there.
The Agent Strikes Back
March 28, 2024 07:00 - 1 hour - 67 MBAfter a month or so of agent bashing, it was only a matter of time before someone stepped up to put us back in our place. And that someone is the brilliant Mr Tom Taaffe, the man behind the bookings of the likes of Every Time I Die, Pallbearer, Spanish Love Songs, Deafheaven, While She Sleeps, Beartooth and Elder at our festivals. What's his take on the ballache of billing and A-Z line-up posters, the rising fees for bands and promoters asking US arena-level bands to play club shows in Eng...
Q&A #1
March 28, 2024 06:00 - 52 minutes - 36.4 MBThe mailbox is full and the questions keep coming in, so here's an episode dedicated to all your curiosities.

What are the marketing challenges in 2024? We answer them all, and plenty more, in the usual candid fashion. We go again, next Thursday morning. Be there.

Mogwai, Baby! ... and Bolt Thrower
March 21, 2024 06:00 - 37 minutes - 25.9 MBTen years of increased offers, multiple snubs, endless fan demands and with almost all hope lost... Mogwai finally agreed to play the final night of the 10th anniversary of ATG. It had to be part of the masterplan, right? Or a chance phone call, "going big" with an offer over text and the dilemma of having no headline slots left. Turns out landing the dream band is never straight forward, as Bolt Thrower playing Damnation had its own unique quirks too. Gav and James get in about it all. ...
The Dark Arts of Band Booking
March 14, 2024 06:00 - 1 hour - 46.3 MBBooking bands is the Wild West of music promotion, where cash, gamesmanship, ego and relationships clash in the process of sealing a deal. But it isn't as simple a just working out a fee. There's hotels, flights, catering, drum kits, video walls, billing and exclusivity to haggle over... and don't forget that nudity clause! Then, even if that's all agreed, it might not stay that way because half the contract doesn't make sense, or the agent might just "forget". Understand, no? Neither do ...
How We Started Our Festivals (The Dummies Guide)
March 09, 2024 13:00 - 47 minutes - 32.8 MB2,000 Trees, Damnation and ArcTanGent have carved themselves out solid reputations on the UK festival scene but not without almost two decades of graft, good fortune and the odd costly mistake, or twenty, along the way. Thankfully we fell into those traps so you don't have to. We go again, next Thursday morning. Be there.
The Hunt for Headliners
March 07, 2024 06:00 - 41 minutes - 28.9 MBThe right headliner can make or break your year, whether the rest of the line-up is excellent or not. But it's not as easy as just throwing heaps of cash at your favourite band to land the booking you need. With more events to choose from, competitive festival exclusive deals, fees going through the roof and bands booking further and further in advance, it can be a nervous time trying to get the right cherry on top. James and Gav get into it... We go again, next Thursday morning. Be there.
The Slayer Marketing Plan
February 29, 2024 07:00 - 28 minutes - 19.6 MBIn a short space of time, Slayer transformed themselves from dependable festival fodder, who filled academies on tour to an arena outfit who have returned to share top billing alongside the likes of Slipknot and Motley Crue with one simple trick: the fake farewell. Should fans be delighted with the return, or question why they were duped in the first place? Will other bands and their management follow the same strategy? And where are promoters left in the mix of booking the panto? We go ag...
The Ballache of Billing a Festival
February 29, 2024 07:00 - 44 minutes - 30.6 MBWho goes one line up on the poster? Whose logo needs to be bigger? Who goes left or right when two bands are virtually identical in stature? And who decides? The art of billing the line-up poster is a messy and confusing one, which often leads to heated rows, fall outs and promoters being left with tough calls to make. But do fans even notice or care? James and Gav share their pain and misery on 2 Promoters, 1 Pod. We go again, next Thursday morning. Be there.
The Dillinger Escape Gamble
February 29, 2024 05:00 - 27 minutes - 19 MBDillinger are back and everyone is buzzing, so why aren't they playing any of the UK festivals? Is Calculating Infinity worth the gamble? Is there anything to learn from the At The Drive In, Refused or Botch reunions? Will we see Dimitri and co. play London in 2024 instead? Damnation and ArcTanGent organisers, Gav and James, share their thoughts on the first episode of 2 Promoters, 1 Pod. We go again, next Thursday morning. Be there.
Damnation 2023: The Debrief
November 10, 2023 23:00 - 1 hour - 48.8 MBHow much money did Damnation 2023 make? The problem with A Night of Salvation being so cheap. the chaos of losing Tuskar and Ahab at the final hurdle. Bossk and Din of Celestial Birds knocking it out the park. THAT Nordic Giants opening set. Fixation on a Co Worker. Highlights and low points of the weekend... Plans for 2024.

Anaal Nathrakh 2 (Dave Hunt)
July 31, 2023 23:00 - 52 minutes - 36.2 MBIt looked like it could all be over for Anaal Nathrakh but Dr Dave Hunt has some "unfinished business" to attend to, which will include a one-off headline performance at this year's Damnation Festival. How did it feel to release Endarkenment in the middle of a pandemic and have no stages to take it to? What was the process of rebuilding a live band with no Mick Kenney? Will we ever see Nathrakh live again after 2023? And is there any hope of more records in the future? Dr Hunt tackles it a...

Ashley Cook (Radar Festival)
July 18, 2023 00:00 - 52 minutes - 36.1 MBPacking out their debut year only to crash into a global pandemic, moving to Manchester then being chucked out their new arena shortly afterwards and landing Sleep Token before they became the band who'd sell out Wembley Arena in 10 minutes...

September 22, 2022 18:00 - 39 minutes - 27.2 MBLosing Ministry at the start of the week and ending it with Jane Doe, Prowler In The Yard and Streetcleaner, was not the plan.

Gav joins co-conspirator Paul Farrington to discuss the week that was, alongside the excitement for A Night of Salvation featuring Celeste, We Lost The Sea, Ithaca, Pupil Slicer and Mastiff.

APF Records (Andrew Field)
February 02, 2022 22:00 - 1 hour - 47.2 MBHow did some of the UK's best emerging sludge, stoner and doom bands get signed, and in an age of Spotify, YouTube and TikTok, why is that still important?

Party Cannon (Chris Ryan)
December 19, 2021 10:00 - 1 hour - 75.9 MBEver wondered how difficult it would be for a slam death band from Dunfermline to tour America and Asia without showing up at a venue in Idaho where the promoter forgot you were playing, having your headline act held hostage in Indonesia or almost drowning in a tunnel in the Philippines?

Ian Shaw (Surprise You're Dead, TKO booking)
June 09, 2021 10:00 - 1 hour - 52.7 MBRouting a tour can be a dog-eat-dog world, riddled with "avails", "holds", "first pencils" and "challenges"... and that's just in "market one".
