That's a very good question. I don't know how old you are, but I'm 46 and every year I wonder how I manage to find the energy to do this. This year I was a little more reasonable than in 2022 or 2019, when I did 4pm-6am on 3 nights. But Thursday I saw my 1st concert at 4:30pm and finished at 5:20am, Friday I was on site at 5pm and finished at 4:45am and Saturday arrived at 3:30pm and left at 4:20pm after Charlotte de Witte. So I never went to bed before at least 6am. For some years now, we've been staying in a hotel within a 20-minute walk of the festival to avoid having to wait for a cab or take a bus. It saves a bit of time. I like beer but I don't usually drink too much of it when I'm at Primavera and I think that helps a lot. In fact, given my schedule every year and my back-to-back concerts, I don't have much time to eat and drink 😂 I'm normally a late sleeper, but I always manage to get up for lunch before going to the festival. Apart from having the hotel not too far away and not drinking too much alcohol during the festival, I'm at a loss to say how I'm holding up. On the other hand, I started working again today and I'm really feeling the tiredness.

I was also there yesterday in Geneva and it was really excellent. But as I'll probably never get the chance to see him elsewhere, I'm going to choose Arthur Verocai. I still have a few conflicts to resolve : Come vs Sudan Archive Julia Holter vs Sparks Depeche Mode vs The Moldy Peaches vs Swans vs Beak> vs Alvvays Kelela vs Jockstrap Rosalía vs Death Grips vs Gilla Band Other conflicts I resolved but between several groups that I would really have liked to see such as : Arthur Verocai vs Black Country, New Road vs Built To Spill vs Alex G (As I said, I choseI Arthur Verocai) Julia Jacklin vs Beth Orton (I chose Beth Orton). Laurie Anderson vs St. Vincent (I would have loved to have seen St. Vincent on this tour - it was one of my priorities - but I think this will be the only chance I'll get to see Laurie Anderson, so I'll be going to see her). Anyway, like every year, it's a hell of a job managing these conflicts 😅

My first time was in 2007 and I have done every edition since then except the second weekend this year. However, like every time I can't wait for the line-up to be announced. I am also like a child waiting for his Christmas present 😂Even if I was disappointed by this year's edition. Clearly not in terms of line-up but in terms of organization in general.
