Kiwanuka is a shoe in surely oops, saw the previous page.

I’m very skeptical. Would Sting and Patti Smith not be big enough for the first two rows? Plus the National twice. It wouldn’t surprise me if this is 90% correct though.

They replied to my comment on Instagram that they’d sorted the toilet situation out!

It’s enjoyable. It’s fairly easy to access from the city centre. The weather is great. The logistics inside the festival were atrocious last year but for the overall price/Madrid experience I’d say definitely do it once.

Looks like Pearl Jam.

I assume it's at the same 'catastrophe waiting to happen' venue?

Sufjan Stevens definitely doesn't have motor neurone disease, he had guillian-barre syndrome which is a very different thing. If it was motor neurone disease, he wouldn't be learning to walk again.

I love this festival but nearly £300 is a lot of money and is very hard to justify in the current climate. I'm sure it'll still sell out and quickly but I for one am priced out of it.

I think they were winging it!

We didn’t get to many of the smaller stages because there was so much going on but our favourites in no order were: 1) Robbie Williams, as @prefab said it was a great show, self indulgent, entertaining, cocky, just what you want to see from Robbie. 2) Tash Sultana, she is just a breathtakingly impressive musician. The Spanish absolutely love her. 3) Paolo Nutini seems like a long time ago but was a great start to the festival and he’s still definitely got it. 4) Mumford & Sons, great headline set and that comes from a guy who isn’t their biggest fan. 5) Left RHCP for a mooch and came across the Hu, who Id seen some hype about. They’re fantastic. 6) Sigur Ros, svefn g englar possibly my favourite song so to see it live was amazing. What a sound. We also enjoyed Black Keys, Liam Gallagher, Prodigy, Years and Years etc etc. it’s a great value festival in terms of acts.

The first day was chaotic wasn’t it? The queues, the bottlenecks. I think if tonight’s crowd had attended on Thursday there could’ve genuinely been a catastrophe, but thankfully they sorted out the teething issues, although the toilet entrance situation was shambolic. Saw some really good acts, RHCP were easily the worst. I feel like a lot of the worst critics probably haven’t experienced some of the UK festivals where etiquette isn’t quite as good as on the continent.

I think Mad and Cool is probably a good description of this bizarre experience of the past few days.

That is insane, they’ve been there since Thursday! Toilets are operating a one way system today, let’s hope security can enforce it and people are sensible.

Much better day two except for the toilet system, what a mess 🤣🤣

It’s fine at the minute although I’m skeptical. They’ve put a sh*t ton of security/stewards by the toilets too so hopefully it’ll reduce the chaos.
