Our story

We met at Glasto.
We kept talking.

Since 2019, and still not talked out.

GlastoCast began in 2019 with three friends who met through the festival and kept finding more to say about it. The idea was simple: share what we had learned over the years, so anyone heading to Worthy Farm for the first time could feel a little more ready.

It has grown into something wider since. We still cover the practical side: tickets, packing, where to camp. We also talk to the people who make the festival what it is, from the crews who run whole areas to the artists on its stages, and we look back on each year once the mud has dried.

Whether you have been twenty times or are still hoping for your first ticket, this is a place to keep that Glastonbury feeling going for the rest of the year.

I moved to London in 2009 from Brazil and I was overwhelmed with the live music scene. Suddenly, I could attend gigs not only from bands I grew up with but upcoming ones. Music venues were my second home that year.

It didn't take long for me to start looking into summer festivals and I fell in love with the experience right away.

My first Glastonbury was in 2011 and since then, I plan my life around that magical last week of June when the festival happens.

I am hoping with our podcast you will absorb our enthusiasm and get excited (and super prepared) for your first Glasto experience :)

Hi, my name is Jessi, and I’m a festiholic…

Just kidding! Well, half kidding… Festivals have been a huge part of my life for over 12 years now, so much so that in 2017 I started a festival blog called Where's My Tent?, and usually attend around 10 festivals every summer. What started it all, and where my heart still lies to this day, is the mighty Glastonbury Festival of Performing Arts. There’s no festival quite like it. It’s my yearly pilgrimage (or almost yearly, in case of fallow years!). It’s the place I feel most at home, and if the festival became a city I could live in year round, I would be first on the sign up list to make it happen! 2019 will be my 10th Glasto and I can. not. wait!

I’m so excited to be a part of this podcast, and am happy to answer any questions from you all so please do get in touch!

My Glastonbury journey began the same time the Great Wall came to be, back in 2002. Without the predicted 30,000 fence jumpers, it was a relatively quiet year, but from the second I stepped off the coach, Glasto Rob was born!

I’ve dipped in and out of the magic over the years, but my love for the festival has never faltered.

Now with GlastoCast I invite you to continue the journey with 2 very good friends of mine as we share with you what makes Glastonbury so amazing to us.

Photographer

Gig-lover with a camera glued to his hand. I am a freelance photographer with a focus on portraits: I try to capture the best of every person in their habitat.

That is the reason why I fell in love with Glastonbury right away and I captured so many amazing moments during my first festival in 2017.

I am excited to be providing photography for GlastoCast so you can start imagining the inconceivable.
