This week on Diamond Cast, we’re diving deep into the world of festivals—the chaos, the community, and the moments that stay with you forever (for better or worse).

From muddy fields to dream lineups, festival food to plectrum survival tips, the band shares their first-ever festival memories, wildest backstage stories, and what it really takes to pull off a great set in the blazing daylight.

Plus: the weirdest thing we’ve seen at Hellfest, our quickfire “ban this from festivals” round, and the latest update on the Fall Into The Silence video fundraiser.

Whether you're a festival veteran or just here for the stories, this one’s a wild ride. See you in the pit.
