In The Line-Up with Shaun Keaveny, host Shaun Keaveny applies his wry wit and deep well of festival memories to a delightful thought experiment. Each episode revolves around a simple, compelling question posed to a music-loving guest: who would perform at your ultimate fantasy festival? Together, they curate a perfect day of music, selecting five essential acts to take the stage in an imaginary field. The conversation builds from the opening act that jolts you awake to the emotional sunset slot and the crucial headliner that defines the night. This podcast naturally explores more than just the lineup; it digs into the full festival experience, debating everything from ideal snacks to dubious camping tactics, all with a sense of humor and shared nostalgia. Listeners are invited into a warm, meandering chat that celebrates music's power to soundtrack our lives, unearthing personal stories and passionate arguments about the artists that matter most. Produced by Sony Music UK, the show sits at the intersection of music, culture, and society, offering a weekly dose of camaraderie and sonic daydreaming. It’s less about industry analysis and more about the joy of shared obsession, one fantasy bill at a time.
