Welcome back to the Primordial Radio Podcast! In this episode, Pete and Moose are talking about Download Festival 2026, The Big Bang selling out, and what is next for Primordial Radio.
With Download Festival a month away, Pete and Moose look at the weird combination of excitement, preparation and mild panic that is festival season. There’s a lot of talk about getting older, needing somewhere to sit down and why a hot tub near Download suddenly feels like the height of luxury after years of mud, camping and expensive field-based burgers.
They also talk about what Primordial’s Download coverage could look like this year, especially with a lineup that seems so close to what the station’s all about. It’s like a proper pick and mix of rock and metal from Limp Bizkit, Guns N’ Roses and Linkin Park to Bloodywood, Periphery, Static-X and As Everything Unfolds.
And there’s a big update on the Big Bang, some thoughts on future Primordial events, UpVote, Clubhouse Crawls, and a more honest look at where things are at for the station after a long period of waiting, learning and trying to move forward.
