We Dig Music - Series 8 Episode 6 - Festival Special

About this episode

The hosts share their favorite music festival stories from nearly 40 years of attending festivals.

It's summertime, and what better to talk about for music nerds in the summer than our favourite music festival stories from almost 40 years of festival going between the three of us, from Reading 1988 through to modern festivals like ArcTanGent & All Points East. There's tales of goth acrobatics, melted portaloos, terrifying french umbrella sharers, and lots of instances of Tracey having no recollection of seeing legendary bands, plus we program our fantasy festival lineup!
