I really can't understand why they're not utilising the wristbands for payment. Stock them with credit online and then bar staff can just scan them instead of dealing with cash and cards. They can have extra places to load the wristbands at the festival. Worked a treat at Lollapalooza in Brasil earlier this year.

Near the entrance on your left past the merch stalls, should be a huge fan and then around that corner on the left there's some taps if you're referring to water points on site.

Anyone else notice how there was no water in the taps for toilets haha

There were almost as many people lining up there trying to get water at 2am as were watching Kasabian. At about 2.45am I was excited because it looked like there were no queues but it was because the water had run out. Hopefully it gets refilled.

The sound seems to be great, which is one positive. However, unless you're staying relatively near the metro stop in Madrid getting home is a pain - walk or wait 20+ mins for an Uber. Bit of a negative but hey ho!

The sound seemed really bad to me until Pearl Jam came on. And my network was jammed so I couldn't get Uber and it took around 2.5 hours to get back to the centre. And that's after waiting about 2 hours to get in and queuing crazy times for beer and food and them seeming to have no toilet paper or water. I don't know if I'll even go the next 2 days despite having a ticket. It is woeful.

I have to say this is without a doubt the worst festival I have ever been to. I arrived at home over 11 hours after I left. I think around 4 hours were spent commuting there and back (from central Madrid), around 5 hours spent queueing, and about 2 hours seeing music. People got so frustrated with the hours waiting in the sun to get in, they tore fences down. That was actually a festival highlight. There was more people queuing to get water than watching Kasabian. I got excited because the line seemed to die down around 2.30am. It was because the water ran out. There was no toilet paper any time I went.

 

I have never seen such a disorganised, chaotic mess of a festival. I'm considering forfeiting the next 2 days in so disgusted. It's an absolute joke and they should not be allowed to hold festivals.
