Ben Proctor catches up with Inspiral Carpets at Y Not Festival 2026, ahead of their set later that day.

The band look back at the incredible life ‘This Is How It Feels’ has taken on since it was written in 1989, while ‘Uniform’ gets a mention as a song that has found a new relevance through its social commentary.

They also reveal that their Y Not set will feature three brand-new songs, as they prepare for a new Inspiral Carpets album in January and plans to head to Australia, New Zealand and potentially Greece.

And there are plenty of festival stories along the way — including meeting R.E.M.’s Michael Stipe at Glastonbury and accidentally landing a peanut on his head, arriving at a festival in the back of a butcher’s van, and a slightly surreal encounter with Jona Lewie.

Plus, after decades of cult classics, would they rather have another big chart hit?

“We’ve got a wardrobe full of cult classics — let’s have another couple of charty hits.”

Ben Proctor catches up with Good Health Good Wealth at Y Not Festival 2026, shortly before they take to the Giant Squid stage.

The boys chat about returning to Y Not, the real-life experiences that influence their music and why they’re drawn to artists who are difficult to put in a box — from Outkast and Radiohead to David Bowie.

They also pick the tracks they think new listeners should start with, ‘Once in Our Lives’ and ‘Who What Where Why’, before looking ahead to a packed run of festivals including Boardmasters, Boomtown, Lost Village, Victorious and Pitchfork Paris.

And most excitingly, they talk about their forthcoming album ‘The Disco Never Ends’ — and it’s fair to say they’re pretty confident about it…

Plus, Oasis or Blur? Vinyl or streaming? Festival stage or sweaty club gig? And camping or glamping? (Spoiler: neither. They want a hotel.)

Ben Proctor catches up with George and Euan from Bloodworm at Y Not Festival 2026, fresh from their set on the Giant Squid stage.

The guys reflect on a crowd that had people on shoulders and chanting their name, the songs they were most excited to play and what it was like taking on one of their biggest festival slots so far.

They also reveal that they’re working towards getting their music onto vinyl, share possibly their weirdest festival experience — involving a few drinks and a radio interview — and talk about the bands they were looking forward to seeing across the rest of Y Not.

And as for what’s next?

“More gigs, more touring, more releasing, more Bloodworm.”
