Likewise. I do just find it all a bit too coincidental for people not to be pushing this more? I’ve spent years on this forum and swear I’ve seen bands with way less evidence than this and they been labelled a shoo-in. There’s probably nothing in it, but I’m enjoying the hype.

They’ve earnt more than enough money then to make it work if they want too!

Amyl and the the sniffers are

Took an hour and a half to get through security in the end. Even more shocking was queuing 30 minutes for a beer the other side to be told at the till it’s cash only. Get me to Barcelona now!

Just joined the security queue at Manchester T3, never seen the queue this big. Temporary barriers in place all way to bag drop. Don’t want to worry people, but just a heads up for those heading here later. Think we’ll be okay but a big shock to arrive too!

Anybody flying with Ryanair from Manchester airport and know what security / bag drop is like? About to leave shortly, giving ourselves 2.5 hours to get through....

There's loads on Twickets and a lot of them are listed with 'accepting offers'. Just low ball as many as you can and someone will crack.

I think they did both?

Green day did play a secret set at Reading 2012 the day before they had a gig in France. Also did 4 consecutive days of gigs that tour as well….

Thanks for the reply How long do you think it would take to get from the festival to Tilburg station just after the strokes end? Is it likely we would make that 1am train?

Having a logistical nightmare after appearing to have it all sorted. Booked and paid for our accommodation in Amsterdam for the weekend due to only attending the Saturday, and our plan was to use the party bussen day return from Amsterdam. Went to book last night and now the website is saying there’s no more buses due to a national shortage of bus drivers? Does anybody have any other suggestions on what we can do? The train is another option but I think we’ll be pushing it fine to get to Tilburg after the strokes? Camping is only allowed as well with a weekend ticket…

Manifesting the following; - The Strokes unwilling to outright cancel as they know how much this gig will mean to their European fans - Primavera panics and books a replacement for The Strokes (LCD or Arcade Fire) - The positive member of The Strokes makes full and quick recovery at the last minute and go ahead with the show - We end up with both of the bands and all is good

I think it's inevitable unfortunately. They're probably due to fly over in 4 days, so need a negative test and a full recovery by then, as well as no other cases between the group...

Even if they do decide to replace them I’m not sure there’s anyone who could fill the void for me. Absolute gutted. LCD or Arcade fire probably the only two who could soften the blow. Or Phoenix and YYYs as a two for one replacement.

No worries. I’ve never been before but feel I’m more than prepared from what I’ve read on that thread!

Loads of your questions will be answered on here! Im going myself and must admit i was annoyed to see no direct replacement for Massive attack

Im sure there was a theory that the earlier you secured tickets in the original coach sale the earlier your coach would be?

ill take anything, however small, to convince myself they'll be there

The Strokes. Will certainly explain what Lytham festival meant with 'North of England exclusive'

Dinosaur Jr > Yo La Tengo > Tame Impala > Pavement Not a bad opening run to my first ever Primavera.

Yeah i think theyre the first notable act of the day for me, so planning on getting there a bit early to get a good spot. I imagine there'll be a bit of a rush to catch the end of Fontaines as well after they finish.

Will wet legs appeal be as big here as it will be at Glasto or any other UK festival? Thinking I’ll likely give them a miss at Glasto because of how rammed the park will be.

Nice one bud - i knew coming to this thread would help me out! Im aiming to make it to both sets, its just a few friends who never made it to Lost Village caught wind of his set from twitter, soundcloud etc and will be wanting something similar at Glastonbury, so wanted to make sure i take them to the right set!

I know this has been discussed previously (have tried to search but failed) but what will Four Tets set on the park be like compared to his set on Arcadia? I was at Lost Village last year and was blown away - sampling Sugababes?!? - but im sure its been mentioned on here that his live set will differ somewhat from that? Im sure he was billed as 'live' at Lost Village last year, however i could be wrong.

Ahh i see. I think i took someone 'turn around' comment literally! Cant wait now, nothing better than arriving at a festival for the first time and having a mooch around, completely aimlessly soaking up everything thats to come for the net few days.
