About this episode

Alan reflects on the evolution of the music festival experience over 20 years and discusses potential impacts of the energy crisis on the music industry.

The first time Primordial played Inferno festival in Norway was 20 years ago, I reflect on then and now. Have we just graduated to the middle aged men's club without knowing it? growing old with the same people year in and year out on the festival circuit? Could be. Finishing with some thoughts on how the energy crisis might affect the music industry if it keeps on rolling and rolling..... follow me nemtheanga_primordial on the gram support the show over at : https://patreon.com/AlanAverill Primordial on Spotify YES THERE'S A NEW Primordial LIVE ALBUM OUT !! https://open.spotify.com/artist/0BZr6WHaejNA63uhZZZZek?si=yFFV8ypSSDOESUX62_0TzQ sponsored by Metal Blade records https://metalblade.indiemerch.com/ promo code AA 2024 for 10% off your order ships worldwide For info on my work as a booking agent go to: https://www.facebook.com/DragonProductionsOfficial or email alan@dragon-productions.com Primordial cds/lps available from https://www.metalblade.com/primordial/ death metal VERMINOUS SERPENT https://open.spotify.com/artist/54Wpl9JD0Zn4rhpBvrN2Oa?si=zOjIulHXS5y9lW1YHMhgTA doom DREAD SOVEREIGN https://open.spotify.com/artist/60HY4pl0nbOrZA6u2QnqDN?si=sxQ5_1htR6G3WIvy1I_wXA goth…
