Why RADAR is One Of Our Absolute Favourite Festivals
<p>Right then! Welcome back to Festpod, the Unofficial Rock Festival Guide. For Episode 88, we are getting stuck into one of the absolute best weekends on the entire music calendar - Radar Festival! We’re looking back at all the brilliant madness from the 2025 edition and looking forward to what’s coming up for 2026.</p><br><p>Neill Wilkinson is joined by the amazing Arran Prime from the band Crushed By Waves to chat about why this indoor Manchester gem at the O2 Victoria Warehouse is so enjoyable. Think about it: no trudging through ankle deep mud, no freezing in a tent, and hotels literally all over the place. It genuinely feels like a giant VIP guest area all weekend.</p><br><p>We’re breaking down the sets from heavy hitters and incredible acts like Carpenter Brut, Zeal & Ardor, As Everything Unfolds, Future Palace, Lake Malice, and Pint Glass (yep, the lads in the high vis jackets with the traffic cones). Plus, we talk about the upstairs gear market, delectable pastries, the legendary Mosh Pit Mime drinking game, and a bit of weirdo science about why circle pits only spin anti clockwise.</p><br><p>Whether you’re watching along on YouTube to see the footage or listening on the move, come and join the chat!</p><br><p><strong>Check out the Festpod links:</strong></p><br><p><br></p><ul><li><strong>Support us on Patreon</strong> (and grab the behind-the-scenes Debrief episode!): https://festpod.co.uk</li><li><strong>Get your Festpod Merch</strong> (Don't be a mug, get a bloody mug!): https://festpod.shop</li><li><strong>Our Official Sponsor:</strong> Shout out to Fat Frank’s Camping Shop!

<p>In episode 87 of Festpod: The Unofficial Rock Festival Guide, Neill, Rich, and Arran talk about this year's Download Festival - what's coming up, what's changed, and what we're looking forward to.</p><br><p>Topics this episode:</p><br><p>- Railway bans bins. We discuss East Midlands Railway's decision to ban festival-goers from bringing wheelie bins full of beer and camping gear onto their trains.</p><br><p>- RIP Park Farm glass ban.

We examine the massive expansion of the RIP areas and the brutally long walk facing families in the Mini Mosher and Quiet Camps. </p><br><p>- Inside District X: We look at what's happening in District X, including the Ace of Spades tent, The Outpost, and the Arcade Bar. There are some changes and some new spots, too!</p><br><p>- We review the stacked District X entertainment lineup, which features sets from Five, Electric Six, a DJ set from Creeper, Dick and Dom in the Doghouse, Token Grass, and Bongo's Bingo. </p><br><p>- Are podcasts a good form of stage entertainment at music festivals? Would you rather see music or podcasts on stage at Download?</p><br><p>- The Takeover Stage: A quick recap of the six unsigned bands kicking things off on Wednesday: 40,000 Leagues, Celavi, Pryma, DeadWax, Rxptrs, and Black Water County. </p><br><p>- Our Top Band Picks: To wrap things up, we share our ultimate recommendations for the weekend.
