In episode 215 of the podcast, we’re joined by Michael Kaminsky (KMGMT), Eric Tobin (Hopeless Records) and Kevin Lyman (Warped Tour) to discuss the idobi Radio Summer School Festival.
Eric, Kevin and Michael give us the low down on how the festival was created and the work that goes into getting it off the ground. The three of them have been around the music industry for decades, and created a festival that looks to give the headliners of tomorrow a platform to connect with fans across the country.
Bringing in bands looking to take the next step (Scene Queen, Stand Atlantic, Magnolia Park, and more), as well as sponsors like Hot Topic and oneRPM to help keep ticket prices down ($35!), this is for sure a tour to check out this summer. Keep your eyes peeled!
