Harry talks us through the months of work that go into building the lineup, from negotiating with international artists and securing major acts, to sponsors, production and creating a festival that works for everyone.

We also chat about landing Fat Freddy’s Drop, balancing the lineup for different generations of festival-goers, and what happens behind the scenes between the first artist conversations and the gates finally opening.
