What really happens at festivals when the glitter fades and the wellies sink?In this episode, your fave duo next door, Wallis Day and Francesca Allen bring you a fun, relaxed conversation that feels like a catch-up with your best mates. Francesca kicks things off with the details of her spontaneous trip to France. She paints a picture of the last-minute packing chaos, trying to squeeze everything into a suitcase, deciding which shoes to bring, and of course, forgetting her toothbrush. Classic. Once in Paris, she takes us through her adventures in the city, from getting lost in Montmartre to enjoying a croissant at a local café, sharing the magical moments and funny mishaps of travel.The conversation shifts to festival life, where the girls compare the influencer-packed scene at Coachella to the more carefree, muddy atmosphere of UK festivals like Glastonbury. Francesca dishes on the perfectly curated Insta moments and boho fits in the California desert, while Wallis goes full love letter to British festival culture – think wellies, unpredictable weather, and that unmatched buzz of dancing with your mates in a field.Obviously, it wouldn’t be complete without a little celeb crush moment. And there is no deeper crush than the one for Lady Gaga. They gush about her electrifying performances and how her music and style have inspired them in their own lives. They discuss their favourite Gaga songs and how her lyrics have been a source of comfort and motivation.Things get a bit more real when the convo turns to audition struggles. Both Day and Allen open up about the emotional rollercoaster of chasing your dreams – the waiting, the rejection, the self-doubt. But they also share what keeps them going: small wins, supportive mates, and finding creative ways to stay grounded.Throughout the episode, Wallis and Francesca’s chemistry makes it feel like you're right there with them, laughing and reflecting along the way. It's a mix of humour, honesty, and heart that leaves listeners feeling connected and inspired.
