Welcome to the Primordial Radio Podcast! Moose and Dews are back this week catching up on Dews’ birthday (which he may mention once or twice) in a bid to avoid the now-traditional, post-40 birthday existential crisis. We all get them, right?
They take a look at some of the many, many tours that have been announced recently, from Rush, Spiritbox, Primus, and the Sex Pistols and also take a look at the Download Festival 2026 lineup that feels genuinely historic. The guys talk about how festival lineups are evolving, the way in which younger audiences discover music differently now, and why the next generation of bands is stepping up to carry heavy music forward.
