Hey there was a big festival on last weekend, maybe you heard about it or read about it or watched it or something.  Returning guest Richard Chambers was at the damn thing and so he duly relays Dave and Adam with a feature-length review in lieu of a Top 5, and let us tell you listener, this is a damn fine report.  Also damn fine is the NO ENCORE Patreon - hit it up today for bonus content! ACT ONE: Dave gets intensely self-indulgent about another podcast. Hey, why not?  ACT TWO (9:42): A scattershot enough news section takes in Oasis x Bohemians, a fake band doing numbers, and Adam's newest vinyl purchase.  ACT THREE (26:45): Glastonbury 2025 in review featuring live reports of Supergrass, CMAT, Wet Leg, Franz Ferdinand, Alanis Morrisette, The 1975, Romy, Bob Vylan (and all the news fallout that came with that), Kneecap (ditto), Patchwork (aka Pulp), Skepta, Charli XCX, Gurriers, Rod Stewart, Snow Patrol, Overmono, and Olivia Rodrigo.  As you might expect, a LOT to talk about.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

As the drummer for the excellent Gurriers, Pierce Callaghan is a very busy man of late, and so Dave Hanratty and Sonic Architect Adam Shanahan are only delighted to welcome him to the NO ENCORE studio mere hours before he jets off to Glastonbury.  The imminent Worthy Farm spectacular is this week's headline attraction, given Pierce's affinity for it - he's a veteran as a punter - and upcoming activity at it - Gurriers play two sets this weekend, don't dare miss them if you're there. And so he takes us through his five favourite standout performances from years gone by. That, of course, is very much not at all this week, as you'll see below.  Before that, do consider jumping aboard the good ship NO ENCORE Patreon - €5 per month gets you ad-free early access to the main show, and a weekly bonus episode. Adam's second instalment of the current state of the Irish music industry is up right now, and the Film Club returns this Monday as Dave and Andy McCarroll run the rule over David Fincher / Michael Fassbender hitman satire The Killer. Sign up today! ACT ONE: The preamble in which we ramble.  ACT TWO (14:31): Adam finally straps in for F1: The Movie (aka CAR), UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer says it's "not appropriate" for Kneecap to play Glastonbury, Slane supremo Lord Henry Mountcharles departs this mortal coil, Rick Rubin thinks AI is the new punk rock, and some other bits in brief - it's the news.  ACT THREE (1:09:32): Top 5 Glastonbury Performances.  - Follow Pierce on Instagram Follow Gurriers on Instagram Hosted on Acast.

Light the fuse, it's about to get incendiary as the socially conscious, politically-motivated music of the late Tupac Shakur comes into focus this week.  Dave and Adam are joined by music journalist Dean Van Nguyen, whose brand new book Words For My Comrades: A Political History of Tupac Shakur is now on shelves in all good bookstores - or you can pick it up online here.  And so this week's Top 5 explores the standout declarations of the late rap icon, while examining the contradictions, controversies, and critical thoughts that continue to surround him decades on from his murder at the age of 25.  Meanwhile, don't miss the latest episode of Film Club on our Patreon page - it's our first 'versus' face-off in which two beat 'em up giants collide as Street Fighter (1994) and Mortal Kombat (1995) do battle.  Sign up to patreon.com/noencore now for weekly bonus episodes! As for this week's edition of NO ENCORE prime... ACT ONE: Nine Inch Nails return to the live stage to kick off the Peel It Back world tour at Dublin's 3Arena. Dave and Adam duly report back.  ACT TWO (15:25): This week's news section takes in the making of a Snow Patrol anthem, Liam Gallagher hitting out at a city council, the collision between moshing and smartwear, the tribute band industry, and the militaristic thoughts of one Ryan Tedder.  ACT THREE (50:33): Top 5 Politically-Charged Tupac Songs.  - Follow Dean on Instagram / LinkedIn Hosted on Acast.
