Talking about the thriving UK podcast landscape Live Nation Comedy Promoter Anna Cooke said “The UK podcast market is exciting and vibrant. We are delighted to be launching this Festival and presenting some great shows. We expect to be announcing more live podcasts over the next few weeks”.
“We know the audiences at our UK music Festivals Latitude, Reading, Leeds Download Wilderness and Electric Picnic are big consumers of podcasts. Likewise with audiences at our European music Festivals such as Lowlands and Pinkpop. So it was always our intention to add a Podcast strand to our European Comedy Stop Festivals in Oslo, Copenhagen Paris Helsinki, Stockholm and The Netherlands. Launching this strand in London is the first step before we take live podcasts across Europe” said Ian Coburn, Live Nation President European Comedy Touring.
Podcast Stop will see some of the UK's most listened to podcasts take the stage whilst complying with all official guidelines.
