    It got mentioned a few pages ago. Apparently there's been a Third Man store at a few festivals this year, and of course they already have a London presence so it's not that different from that record store that took over from Rough Trade for 2021.

    Sorry I was away probably missed it. So basically 2 record shops. You can never have too many record shops. 

  2. Am I the only one who has noticed Third man records on the map. Seems strange as rough trade is there also. Third man records is Jack White's record label and now Be your own pet has been announced from the label. I wonder what the plan is.

    Flow is a brilliant and friendly festival though drinks and food in the venue are expensive but the food is from local  restaurants who offer pop up stalls.  Though there is a McDonald’s a ten min walk from the gate or try boneless for amazing smash burgers in the redi complex overlooking the site (there’s also a Lidl here for cheap drinks and snacks).

    Which hostel are you staying in? Lots of Helsinki is walkable or you could get a travel card (www.hsl.fi) when you land that would cover your transportation to and from the city plus whilst you are here. 

    Anything else just ask 

    Staying at sky hostel not far away from the site. What time do the bands start and when does the rest of the line up get announced thanks

  5. I have no problem with rain. I stayed to the end that Sunday. Bought a rough trade t shirt to change into half way through.  The only thing I found irritating was getting into the big top and tipi as most punters were using it for shelter. Most not even interested in who was playing

    I've been to primavera and would love to go again. The lineup is consistently incredible year after year. I didn't get the same feeling of escapism that I get from greenman though, which left me feeling a little disappointed. I think the sheer size of the thing coupled with the fact that you don't sleep on site takes some of the magic away. 

    A great festival with similar lineup to Primavera is Best Kept Secret Festival in the Netherlands. Headliners this year are The National, Massive Attack and The Stokes. The site is amazing with built in safari Park. Man-made beaches over looking a giant lake Great for an early morning swim. Went last year and wish I could afford to go this year The Dutch are so friendly and the food was great too.
