In this episode of Vinyl Resting Place, we're turning our attention to Glastonbury the legendary yearly pilgrimage to Worthy Farm that is a bucket list occasion for every music lover. I’m lucky enough to be heading there this year (so no bitterness here), and because I am no longer salty, Glasto gets its own episode. We dive into the mixed reactions to this year’s headliners a trio that’s sparked a bit of controversy and left some feeling underwhelmed. But beyond the pyramid stage, we beam about the unmatched depth and variety the festival has that makes Glastonbury so special, from the seemingly never ending list of DJ sets in the late-night dance spots to scores of bands we can wait to see and the emrging artists just waiting to be stumbled upon. If you're heading down or just watching from home, give us a listen and get gassed for glasto.

In this episode of Vinyl Resting Place, we’re diving headfirst into festival season 2025, breaking down the best lineups, the must-see acts, and all the chaotic joy that comes with live music in the sun (and sometimes rain). From Lost Village and Truck Festival to Jazz Café Festival and Lido, we explore the incredible variety of artists and genres on offer this summer.  We couldn’t help but notice a trend, that some lineups are starting to look the same so we have tried to focus on festivals that are breaking the mould. We discuss the cookie-cutter feel of many festivals this year, question the lack of risks being taken, and talk about what we’d love to see more of whether it’s bolder bookings, better genre representation, or more space for emerging talent. Expect plenty of nostalgia, a few passionate arguments over things that don’t really matter, and a celebration of everything that makes festivals unforgettable,from incredible headline sets to unexpected hidden gems from artists you've never heard of. Don't worry we will be giving Glastonbury its own episosde!
