Peter the Producer was at Leeds Fetival

Our Executive Producer, Peter, attended the Leeds Festival on behalf of The Chris Lane Show, and his experience was a rollercoaster!

“The day got off to a rough start,” Peter shared. “We faced a frustrating 3-hour wait to get in, Bru-C had mic issues, and 21 Savage only managed to perform for less than 10 minutes.”

However, things took a turn for the better as the night progressed. “Pendulum and Catfish and the Bottlemen delivered fantastic sets,” Peter added, “and Liam Gallagher closed out the night brilliantly.”

To top it off, Peter and his friends had a stroke of luck: they missed the traffic and were on the A1 in under 10 minutes. Now that’s what we call a win!
