Festival Sounds Bilal and Tilly

Today Bilal and Tilly interview @secretglasto and, even now, we do not know his real identity. 

SecretGlasto is the twitter handle with 100K follows who have for years given tips of who is playing those TBA slots on the line up.  

How do they handle that responsibility? How do they get their leads? Give the episode a listen to find out.

Bilal and Tilly, with help from our twitter followers, react to the Glastonbury Festival 2024 line up poster.   Does this Glasto poster have the wow factor?

Tilly and Bilal try to cover how they pack for festivals in one episode and don't even come close to covering it all.   We cover bag, booze, food and tents.

We do manage to chat about some of the challenges we face, what the rules are for taking glass into festival fields, getting the right bag and tent.  And a little bit of food chat.

Tilly and Bilal are joined by festival trader, Sally who takes her clothing store, Pretty Flamingo, with its beautiful sequin store front, around UK music festivals, including to Glasto.  

Sally talks us through how she got into festivals and running a stall at them, how she puts her team together and the pleasures and challenges this line of work brings.  Festival traders add so much to the festival experience, this is the story of music festivals from their perspective.  If you get chance, check out her stall at festivals around the country, or her store in Liverpool, Freida Mo's.

For over 50 years, the Glastonbury Festival has been one of the most iconic music festivals in the world. With its stunning location, eclectic lineup, and emphasis on arts and activism, Glastonbury offers an experience like no other.


In this episode, we dive into what sets Glastonbury apart from other major music festivals.With origins in 1970s counterculture, how that free-spirited vibe still permeates the event today. We discuss the festival's unique setting on a dairy farm in the Somerset countryside and what that rustic backdrop adds to the atmosphere.


Our new co-host Tilly joins us to chat about our favorite aspects of Glastonbury, from the awe-inspiring Pyramid Stage to the late-night revelry. 


Tune in to find out what elements come together to create the one-of-a-kind experience that half a million fans flock to Somerset for every June. Whether you’ve never been or you’re a seasoned Glasto veteran, this episode will remind you why this festival is so magical and so very special.

This week we are joined by two guests, Rhys who succeeded in the ticket sale and one Tilly who did not.  We discuss how the ticket sale went, suggestions that it should be replaced by a ballot, what that will do for the atmosphere in the festival and what are the options if you are still without a ticket.
