In this episode of the Music Festivals Podcast, I take you on a guided walk through everything that has happened so far in the 2025 festival season and give you a look at what's still to come. From unforgettable venues like the Florida Sand Music Ranch in Brooksville, FL during Whippersnap, to classic gatherings like Hookahville and brand-new experiences at places such as the Ohio State Reformatory for INKCARCERATION, I share personal stories, band interviews, live sets, and even some behind-the-scenes moments—like my wild Outdoorsy camper story and the rise of amazing young talent like Phinley McKee.
Plus, you'll hear about what goes into producing this show, the energy and vibe that make each festival unique, and how bringing friends, family, and camp neighbors together really makes these events special.
I also break down the future of the channel, from new sponsorships to exciting plans for 2026, including expanding our festival coverage to more genres and adding a dedicated streaming production team under Music Festival Streams.
Whether you're here for the bluegrass, jam bands, EDM, or metal, there's something in this recap for every festival fan. Stick around for a preview of the Lazy Jam livestream, thoughts on building a supportive festival community, and find out how you can stay connected with us for even more content, ticket contests, and ways to get your own festival featured next season!
