This summer really is just flying by. But what a season it’s been. There have been few weekends that one of
the TPi team haven’t been on-site at one of the UK’s festivals, meeting the men and women who battled
this year’s unpredictable weather. There have been so many highlights, but the pinnacle was undoubtedly
Glastonbur y. This was the first time that Jacob and I made the trip to Worthy Farm. Throughout the
weekend we got to meet a collection of the crew who once again came together to tackle the monumental
task of putting on the event for 200,000 punters. Catch the highlights from p44.
Also, in this issue I checked in with the Backstreet Boys crew at The O2 Arena to catch the DNA World
To u r (p32). Then, a few weeks later, Jacob was also at the venue to conduct a visual focus of Travis Scott’s
headline shows, hot on the heels of his Wireless Festival triumph (p22).
Meanwhile back in the office, we have another member joining our Mondiale family. Taking on the role
of Assistant Editor for TPMEA, we are pleased to welcome Peter Iantorno. Alongside his responsibilities with
our Middle East publication, Peter will also be helping out on the production side of TPi and this month has
already been getting stuck in to this current issue. Welcome to the madhouse, Pete!
As we move into August, we have the last few festivals on our schedule, with James and Jacob heading
down to Boomtown Fair this weekend. Then later this month Harley and I will be heading to Creamfields. So
the festival wellies can’t quite be put away yet.
In the midst of all the festival tomfooler y, I’ve also been tr ying to squeeze in some cycling training, as
in September, I will be joining forces with the PSA’s Andy Lenthall to cycle from Stockport to London in the
days leading up to PLASA, all in the name of StageHand. You can read more about it on p102.
Till next time.
