This Week on The Be Nation Podcast, we bring Season 10 to a close with LIVE & UNFILTERED — a deep dive into the real side of live music, from mistakes on stage and the challenges of touring, to ticket touting, festivals and the changing live music landscape. We explore whether making mistakes can actually help artists become better performers, meet Isaac Neilson, the British indie-rock artist taking live performance to the extreme by playing shows every day throughout 2026, and look at four very different types of music festivals and what makes each one unique. We also examine the ongoing fight against professional ticket touting, the rising costs and bureaucracy facing British artists touring Europe after Brexit, and the challenges threatening grassroots music venues across the UK. Plus, discover The Next Wave, featuring ten emerging artists you need to know, enjoy two Fresh Finds picks, revisit our Sound of the Week, hear from Ross Harris about The Bones Fund and his mission to continue Liam Payne’s legacy of generosity, and, of course, count down the final Be Nation Charts Top 20 of Season 10. And as we reach the end of an incredible season, we say goodbye to Season 10 and look ahead to what’s coming next for The Be Nation Podcast.
