Sidetracked with Annie and Nick - Lorde’s Water Bottle, PTA Raves and The Return of Wolf Alice

Download Lorde’s Water Bottle, PTA Raves and The Return of Wolf Alice

After a legal dispute almost forced some of London’s biggest day festivals to cancel days before taking place, Annie and Nick consider the impact this could have on future urban festival planning and how spaces could be better protected for the sake of local residents. Elsewhere, as Lorde opens up in a new interview with the Rolling Stone and hints at her most truthful music yet, it prompts the question - is she at her creative peak? Plus, the countdown is on as Glastonbury releases a new site map for this year’s festival, the Frank Ocean rumour mill is spinning once again and what happens at a PTA rave.
