Festies Podcast - a music festival podcast


Festie (noun): A music-loving adventurer who flourishes in the vibrant energy of festivals. Known for dancing to any beat, making new friends at every stage, and offering unwavering support to fellow festies in their crew. A true festie views every festival as a fresh opportunity to immerse in the moment and create lasting memories.

Festies isn’t just a podcast—it’s our backstage pass to the wonderful world of music festivals! We’re Vanessa and Sunny, lifelong besties with 20+ festivals under our belts (14 of those together), and we’re here to be your go-to source for festival stories, tips, and all the glittery chaos in between.


Think of us as your festival spirit guides. We share advice, chat with the coolest folks in the industry, and spotlight hidden gem festivals you need to know about.

From reggae to rock, EDM to indie, and hip-hop to country, we dive into the music, vibes, and people who make festivals magical. We also highlight innovative products and festival hacks crafted by the community because the best ideas always come from fellow festies.


Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned pro, we’ve got your back. So grab your hydration pack, lace up your comfiest shoes, and tune in—because the festival adventure doesn’t stop when the music does.


Let’s keep the vibe alive, one episode at a time!

  • Ep. 44 Ritesh Patel on Building Ticket Fairy to Support Festival Creators

    Ep. 44 Ritesh Patel on Building Ticket Fairy to Support Festival Creators
    Jan 30 2026

    We chat with Ritesh Patel, CEO and co-founder of Ticket Fairy and founder of LOCUS Festival (A Drum 'N' Bass Experience in Paradise), to talk about how a love for throwing parties turned into building real systems that help promoters bring their vision to life.

    Ritesh shares what producing over 400 shows taught him about the biggest challenges promoters face, not a lack of creativity, but a lack of time, tools, and capital. Those lessons shaped how Ticket Fairy works, from affiliate ticketing to fair resale and smoother on-site entry.

    We also get into lineup flow, crowd energy, and why thoughtful curation matters just as much as booking big names. From creating Locus in Tulum and Bali to navigating agents, weather chaos, and even a volcano, Ritesh breaks down what it really takes to build festivals people feel connected to.

    This conversation is all about supporting independent festivals, leading with community, and helping organizers actually see their ideas through.
