DINOSAUR PILE-UP - Why Live Music Isn't Meant To Be Perfect

It was wonderful to catch up with Dinosaur Pile-Up backstage at Download Festival 2026 ahead of their Avalanche Stage performance.

In this interview we chat about why live music doesn't need to be perfect, the songs from "I've Felt Better" that have grown the most on stage, why genuine crowd connection matters more than flawless performances, and how the band have finally found the sound they've always wanted to make.

Recorded on site at Download Festival 2026.
