Nialler9 Podcast: Cliff Notes On A Conditional Form & The Mary Wallopers talk livestreams

Episode 92 of the Nialler9 podcast and Niall and Andrea are locked into the 22-track 80-minute behemoth that is the 1975’s fourth album Notes On A Conditional Form and we chat to The Mary Wallopers aka TPM as they are in the news this week, about the home pub live streamed gigs.

We also look at the upcoming live experiences and festivals that are being put soon in the time of a pandemic. Will drive-in gigs offer a way forward for gigs? How about festivals in hotels? And how exactly is Serbia’s EXIT festival planning on going ahead in August?
