Me too. It's strangly weird that just listening to someone else's conversation is entertaining. I've got a thing about watching American reaction videos to obscure UK music. What has my life become? 😁✌
Send half the team to Download that want to go, Rob and the lot who don't go do something new. Then you get two vids, and a lot of us are interested in what a Rob-less video would look like (no offence to Rob, just something different innit?). Worth a thought!
Lovely to see the progression from "young lads festival life" to the more mature, "great festival content can sustain our grown up lifestyle." You are making the transition a pleasure to watch. Thanks Danny, Mary, and Rob!
Ya did they really say Tomorrowland!!!! Sweet!!! I know they arnt into EDM really but if they came back to the US they should do EDC Las Vegas. Huge festival but all EDM
Great vid guys - the WWD's have been great this year with so much content from the main channel and enjoying Danny hosting. One bit of feedback - any chance we can drop the gay jokes Danny? 🙃They often kill the vibe and just don't add lols.
From Friday the 6th October to Sunday the 13th of October Hull fair is on which is the largest travelling fair in Europe and could could be a good holdover idea for a video
T in the Park got cancelled cause too many people kept dying - they wouldn't say that, instead blaming logistics and some other environmental crap if i remember right. Balado where it was for years was 15 minutes from my house so I'd have it back there in a heartbeat. Make it over 18 at least, maybe at a push over 21 because here people bams.
I second a lot of these comments, you can't please them all. As long as you're putting out videos that you're proud of, the right audience will appreciate them at any given time. Keep doing what you're doing 👑
Have you guys ever considered Arctangent festival? Its the sister festival to 2000 trees. Line up is always weird as hell could be that something different you are chasing!
That Royal Blood gig where they were boring supporting Foo Fighters… Was that at Milton Keynes Bowl? Cause fuck me, yeah that gig bored the arse off me. It didn’t help that their sound was shite.
I’ve been watching for years and honestly love all you guys, however I really have to be honest and most of robs appearances totally being the vibe down. Talking over people, mostly Dan. No eye contact with anyone and generally just comes across as moody. Awesome on the Tpd tv videos (obviously) but not a podcast guy. Sorry but it’s really making me not want to watch the view. 😐
The age restriction should be 18 across the board for rock festivals, maybe even 21 for some of this EDM stuff where it's an older crowd, anyhow. I can't see a downside for the organisers either. If their event is going to sell out anyway, the question is, how much will a 16-year-old spend? Not as much as an adult - so get rid. Also, why bring people in that can get you done by the licensing, is more likely to need police or medical attention, and is essentially a vulnerable person at a place where there are a lot of adults that are drunk or high.
Videos have all been great this year. Great to see the different vibes at festivals. Don’t listen to the 1 or 2 comments criticising. You can’t win ‘em all, just most of ‘em
No matter what you do in life, you'll always have your critics. I love these guys. I've only just discovered TPD and subscribed and became a Patreon so they can keep doing what they're doing. I like it how they actually do respond to you too. I know how busy they are, but it's really good when they do something as little as replying to you. It makes it all worth the while that they have time for their fans. ❤ But on your original comment, you won't please everyone or agree with everyone. Just like I don't ģet why they're so into the 1975 (my year of birth). The world would be a boring place if we were all into the same music etc...
Loved this pod. Great group, and really appreciate the more stripped-back approach. Your characters are the content; dont get too caught up in the minutiae, and just let the convo flow. Much love. Edit: With regards to what content I'd want to see you cover on the pod: I'd personally appreciate learning more about you all as individuals. What do you enjoy doing outside of the channel? What brought you to this point? What do you all do for work? Obviously only share what you're comfortable with us knowing, but it would be cool to hear about how you became the legends that you all are today.
I would deffo recommend Primavera Sound it is a 3 day city festival but you have the whole of Barcelona to explore and some pretty good bars. One that me and my mates had a great night at was a bar called Boll*cks which was a great hard rock/metal bar. The festival itself is fun and pretty spectacular how close it is to the sea.
Everyone in glasgow already has a natural connection to a drug dealer some way along the line, plus people would be very adverse to buying off anyone punting in the streets randomly approaching people, doesn’t happen a lot here
It's a bit funny because at this size you have an audience that watches for different reasons. Some want to see the festival, some want to see specific bands, some want a travel experience, some just want to see you get wasted, and some just love seeing you be a hilarious group of friends doing anything at all. You can't please everyone all the time but you are putting out great content each week at a lightning pace. I really liked TRNSMT but understand not every video will hit for every fan. Don't get too hard on yourselves, just keep being true to yourselves and your viewers and you can't help but succeed no matter where you go!
Hear what you’re saying about festivals being quite similar. But reckon you’d love Connect in Edinburgh coming up in three weeks. More mature crowd/different line up than others I’ve seen (Primal Scream, Fred Again and Boygenius the headliners). Ties in with the fringe just finishing and don’t think you guys have done Edinburgh before? Different vibe completely to Glasgow/Trnsmt if you were sick of the repetition and the underagers.
I think next year you should try something like SXSW Festival, Burning Man, Lollapalooza. A USA tour of festivals if you can get to a point where you can leave your full-time jobs and go on the road, our even save up money to take a sabbatical. Maybe not even the USA, but an America's festival tour ranging from Canada all the way down to Argentina!
I know this is nothing to do with the video topics, but my best pals always call out my massive ears, (Because they can, cause they're my brothers from other motheŕs). And your pals (Rob) all make jokes about your nose 👃 👈 . Don't know about you, but I've heard them all. F.A. Cup, Dumbo, Prince Charles etc... Anyway, I've been thinking if they made a clone that was half me and half Rob, then we'd be like the shittest Mr potato head ever!!! Anyway, I'll get my coat... (While walking off slowly, hitching a ride to the original, sad incredible hulk ending music).
T in the park stopped because it was about 10x as bad as TRNSMT for crowd problems. Also there was no easy way to the festival site - I remember I queued up at midnight one time and didn't get on a coach back home until 8am, I only live an hour away
Mary, talking about a festival being full of kids makes me feel extremely old. 🙄 And I was brought up on Scooter in my rave days, back in the 90s. I was always into my "Proper" music, but loved the cheesy stuff too. Scooooooter! Back in the house! 😁
There's lots of new festivals popping up that are inner city things trying to fit into what slam dunk used to be - there's also CONNECT festival in Edinburgh which you've not done before. Lots of stuff popping up
I could have got you into a festival to see Skooter headlining at a tiny festival this weekend in my hometown, Wrexham. Rock the Park. If only I'd seen this when it was released!
These podcasts genuinely brighten up my work days so here's my contribution to podcast ideas (i.e. things I like to talk about with my mates so maybe yous would too) 1. You have 5 gigs left, which artists would you like to see live before music dies forever? 2. Each person creates their dream festival line up, with headliners, smaller/lesser known bands, location, length, and other attractions 3. Say you were to attend a festival that covers one music genre per day (without getting too nitty gritty on niche genres) - who would be your perfect headliner for each day? (e.g. Rock, Metal, Indie, Jazz etc) 4. A "who's most likely to" podcast could be fun - could be audience submitted questions 5. reaction vids to old videos would also be fun!
Funny thing is 2 of the 4(or 5 if you include EDC) largest 3 day festivals in the United States don’t have camping either. Lollapalooza in Chicago and Austin City Limits. So I think that rules both of them out in the future.
My favourite pod from you guys! Keep this open style of format where the conversation just rolls without doing the usual *off topic conversation* ... "SO! We arrive at..." I think with your guy's style of content making it's nice to have a relaxed pod and not having to re-live the whole festival, unless there are main points. Perhaps it would be good if Rob, while you're editing the main videos if you find anything worth noting for the pod, send it to Danny to then bring it up as a very vague outline, then just let the conversation go around that. The chat about your love for bands etc is the best bit, what's the most controversial things you've seen at the fests you went to, what made you raise your eyebrow etc etc.
Indiependence in Ireland is a younger more teen vibe, All Together Now is the same weekend but is strictly over 21 , the lineup might not be your vibe, It's great craic though.
Great to see you all doing so well,but I do feel you seem to be in a huge rush nowadays.Used to love your antics around camp. Recently it feels like you are doing festival reviews and you have lost the essence of what you used to do. Love your channel so don’t want to focus on the negative.
Gotta do Download, RIP FOR SURE! We are doing the same. Got a luxury bell tent in the forest :D Comes right out near coop or goes straight into guest area.
I love how chill this podcast is, just mates having a crack. Would love to see a podcast about viewer interactions, most memorable interactions, that kinda thing 😊
Geoff Ellis is the Trnsmt/ Tin the Park guy. Also T died cause they had to move site to a place which wasn't as good and then 2 bad years of sales basically killed it. Won't come back now tho as trnsmt sells well.
I really enjoy the pods where you are just chatting, has a more enjoyable feel and flows easily. But Id love to see you review random other countrys festivals even if you have no plans of going, would just be interesting to compare to european festivals. I think New Zealand is having a actual Fried Chicken Festival in Wellington in 2024!!
I much preferred this type of podcast, i liked the mix of general chat / update towards the beginning of the podcast and the theme of transmit throughout and little random convos
Loved the poddy as always, you have such great energy and charisma together. I think you should do a poddy on what you think about the disposable vape ban at R&L this year!
I agree, you should have gone to Mad Cool. I went there last year and the line-up was once in a lifetime insane! Also fantastic change of weather. That festival is like the European Coachella imo.
When you asked what Mary was watching on twitter that day . I nearly message your post - I bet that's the Hub , but I wasn't far off 🤣🤣 brilliant work and keep up the great work 😎💚
Live in Glasgow and wouldn’t go near Transmit. Average age be lucky to be 18. Doubt the powder you saw people tanning was MDMA, council Charlie has become an endemic in Glasgow in recent years. What a mess.
Same. I think the lockdown parties caused the rise. My local is full of teens at the weekend who split a gram but will barely have enough for a couple of drinks, yet are bouncing about the bar all night with their Elf Bars.
Lots of people I know (i'm Scottish) would never go to Transmit. It's a combination of the overly young crowd and the dull city centre location. It's not an experience. Scotland lost its only big festival when T in the Park ended. I'd rather go to something like Belladrum, even though it's not on the same level. At least it feels like a festival. Can't wait for the Tomorrowland vid btw :)
Trnsmt is decent enough music wise but the young crowd is really off putting (I’m similar age to Rob so get how they feel about it). There’s a lot of people who aren’t there for the music but just there because it’s a big event in Glasgow. It’s a shame there isn’t an event for them to have and leave music fans alone. Radically different crowd from your average gig going fan in Glasgow which is a shame.
My best mate and I were both 14 when we did our music festival (Sonisphere in 2009) but my dad took us. Had a great time and have been to many festivals since then and fully agree that there should be some kind of age restriction or parental supervision rule in place. It seems like a few festivals in the UK are notorious for being full of kids who are probably on their first trips without their family around and they just get fucked up. We all do dumb shit when we're young and it's part of growing up but, as an adult, I don't particularly enjoy sharing the same space as a bunch of kids who don't know how to handle whatever they've drunk/taken and don't know how to behave. It can really spoil the vibe.
@@ourtimeisryan I went to every single one and miss it so much 😭Always had curveball bookings you'd never get at Download and was the first festival to introduce having no clashes between the first and second stages.
t in the park ended up being cancelled due to the troubles that happened over the last few years of it. it had basically become a ned (chav) fest and basically became the place for teenagers to spend the weekend getting absolutely off their faces on god knows what. the campsites became quite shitty places to be with fights and generally anti social behaviour, hence why DF decided to do trnsmt as an inner city festival. 3 people died at the final t in the park which put the nail in the coffin for the festival
I agree with what you said, T did become dangerous towards the end. Now TRNSMT just as bad but they all leave at the end of the day so there's less for the organisers to deal with. It's just full of wee bams coked and pissed out their minds. You would have to pay me to go back to TRNSMT.
They originally marketed Trnsmt as a more mature festival before it quickly reverted to type. It’s a shame normal music fans can’t have a festival to enjoy in Glasgow without these bams ruining it for everyone else.
I know you guys are saying city festivals are whack but outbreak was sick. Hardcore and “alternative” rap (for lack of better word) acts back to back is a great combo that you lot would either love or hate.
I'm not massively into hardcore, but after being disappointed with the major festival lineups, I went to Outbreak on the Saturday and it was brilliant. Soul Glo, Machine Girl, Jesus Piece (most powerful voice I've ever heard), Death Grips. With loads of beers and great vegan food in-between.
Hope you guys are doing all 5 days of Boomtown this year with a big group! You could go 5 years in a row and never run out of content it's a goldmine. Best festival going
Boomtown would be better if they didn't have all the preachy 'the message' or the 'we support the current thing' narratives. You go a festival to rave and leave the world at home. Not go and have to get the message pumped into your ears and eyes. If I wanted that I'd stay at home and watch BBC news 24 hours
@@tuberantz4676 guessing you've never been? Boomtown has some great messages attached sure, but half the people who go won't ever be engaged with it and just go rave to dnb on whatever drugs they fancy. If you want to go engage with equality, sustainability, spirituality etc you can do that too. BBC news is the opposite side of that so not really sure what you mean there. But it's deffo not at all what you said
@@tuberantz4676 It's hardly rammed down your throat, if you want to just rave and have 0 political notions that's incredibly easy. If you're going to be a snowflake about a few of the posters and artwork dotted around then it's probably not for you.
@@KWin246 I'm far from a snowflake brother and yes I agreed it is easily avoided. My gripe is why is the mainstream political narratives infiltrating all aspects of our society? It's just propaganda. Raving shouldn't be about that, it divides people. Raving was always about leaving your troubles and differences at the door to come together as one big family. Long story short, I'm pissed off that politics is creeping into everything these days. Especially some of the narratives that are just down right hypocritical. For example.... Welcome refugees, we support open borders while in a festival surrounded by a massive fence lol. By all means, preach, spread and be passionate about your beliefs and opinions. I may not agree with them but I will fight for your right to express them. But let's try keep politics out of raving
