The Tour Debrief
Gav and James hit the road for their first ever tour. From mad for it Manchester to Village Wembley, gifts to guests and hot sauces to hecklers… here’s how it panned out. We go again, every Thursday morning.

What the actual Malevolence?
The first leg of the debut tour is over but there’s no time to unwind as Malevolence drop a bomb on Damnation and there’s ArcTanGent bands to announce. Oh, and it’s Glasgow tomorrow… We go again, every Thursday morning.

We're on Tour
We’re in Bristol for the opening night of the first 2 Promoters, 1 Tour but don’t fret, we’re here for you, every Thursday, come rain, shine or super stardom. James’ favourite music documentaries, top albums of 2025 so far and Gav’s difficulties with post rock fans. Synthwave, Slamdunk clashes and stupid band fees… We go again, every Thursday morning.

Support Slots, Slayer & Sign Language - Q&A 11
One last rummage through the big bag of questions before Gav and James hit the road for their first tour. Do support bands get a taste of the 80/20 Vs deal cash? Our thoughts on the return of Ghostfest. Will Damnation remain a two-day event following this year's ticket sales? And what bands have we missed out on down the years we kick ourselves about? Also on our minds; the return of Slayer, Tool taking the piss and the aftermath of Stinky Pete. We go again, every Thursday morning.

Stinky Pete
*TRIGGER WARNING* Do NOT consume with food. The infamous "Stinky Pete", who provides toilets for 2000trees and and ArcTanGent, joins the pod - by demand - and does not hold back on the details of what it takes to be the top loo man in town. You may never look at a plastic festival bog the same way again. And shout out to the heroes at Outbreak. We go again, every Thursday morning.

Planning a Tour
It's exactly one month until Gav and James hit the road for their maiden live tour which puts them in the unfamiliar shoes of the artist for the first time. But what exactly goes into planning a tour? Why is a tour manager important? Who is doing the driving and in what? How do you know how much merch to order? And please explain that 80/20 Vs deal again... In usual 2 Promoters, 1 Pod fashion, it's all laid bare, including how much promoters are paying for the pleasure of our company....

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
The greatest metal line-up of all time is heading to Birmingham as the world says its final, final, final farewell to Ozzy Osbourne as a live performer. Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Alice In Chains, Gojira, Mastodon and the drummer from Sleep Token are all on the poster but what exactly is going on? Is it a day of Sabbath classics? Are the bands playing 25 minute sets? And why did no one invite the Iron Maiden boys to the all-star gathering of guitar heroes? And is £412 for a "golden circle"...
