Some good stuff, but not worth traveling overseas for again.
Don't miss Grace Jones...she was brilliant at FYF this year.
-
Really hoping for a surprise reunion announcement, like when Pulp was announced a couple months before the whole lineup.
R.E.M., anyone? Their social media has been super active lately for a disbanded group. Plus there have been rumors for other fests, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nod.
-
I want to come back next year. Radiohead? Can't miss that.
Warpaint (multiple sets again, please)
Emmy the Great (ditto)
The Avalanches
Phil Collins
Josefin Ohrn + the Liberation (never ever tour the US)
Esben and the Witch (ditto)
R.E.M. (rumored for other festivals, but I can't imagine this is actually happening next year, but if it does...)
St. Vincent (will the new album be ready by then?)
Jarvis Cocker doing something (what's he up to nowadays?)
Iggy Pop (last tour, apparently)
Mitski
Blood Orange
Chelsea Wolfe
-
Thoughts on headliners for next year? I'm guessing...
Daft Punk (if they really are saying Glastonbury, then I'm sure they'd also be at Primavera, Coachella, etc. Otherwise, I'd wager Depeche Mode as the big one)
Smashing Pumpkins reunion
Frank Ocean
Nick Cave
Bon Iver
Vampire Weekend / The xx

Top 5 are:
Radiohead
Sigur Ros
The Avalanches
Lush (ticket, please)

LCD Soundsystem was incredible last night. Such a dance party, and I was just a few rows back at Nancy's side. Was soaked with sweat.

but where exactly is this information desk on the Parc del Forum Site? it's the one inside and not outside, correct?:
I thought it was outside the festival, but apparently it's inside the festival itself by the Ray Ban? Which is a dangerous place to do Hidden Stage tickets since it's so far from the gates that people will surely be stampeding and ripping off people that queued earlier than them. And hundreds, if not thousands, of people will be waiting for the gates to open so they can run inside and camp at the main stage for Radiohead. Really hope the organizers reconsider this so nobody gets trampled.

It gets really hot in the metro.
So does anyone know of a tourist-friendly cannabis club?

Anyone know if we can get our wristbands on the wednesday? Also is the exchange only at the forum now or also in the city? Went two years ago and got to the forum on the thursday about midday and very little queue for wristbands whereas when we returned about 5pm the queue was quite big..
I'm picking mine up Tuesday so I can go to that Deradoorian show. Highly recommended if you're going to be in town for it.
-
Oh it's a sacrifice worth making, just sayin' since everyone is talking about clashes.
Also torn between Explosions, Floating Points, Har Mar Superstar, and undecided between Air/Kamasi Washington/Suuns. Those are probably going to be last-minute decisions.
-
Sigur Ros vs Chairlift and Julia Holter hurts, and seeing Lush means missing Cabaret Voltaire, Moses Sumney, Savages, and possibly a good spot for Radiohead. Hell.
-
Where is the information desk? I really don't feel like running all over the place.
-
How early does one need to be there to get a ticket for someone like Lush? Getting tickets for their regular shows here can be an impossible task, so I imagine a free, limited show at a festival would be worse.
And does the main stage VIP viewing area get full? I was looking at the set times for last year, and if Lush is on at the same time, then that leaves zero time to get a spot for Radiohead.
-
Another delay? Sweet.
-
Set times today?
-
Meh on those headliners, but some awesome stuff in the undercard. Lush! And I love seeing Warpaint billed so high.
-
So who has the best cell service at the festival? Going to have to buy a local SIM card when I arrive.
-
Radiohead, The Avalanches, Sigur Ros, and they just might address the Lush issue? Yeah, it's going to be legendary.

For Arcade Fire in 2014 and The Strokes in 2015 Non-VIP's had to arrive 60-90 minutes before the shows started to secure a very good spot.
How early for VIPs?
-
So how was it?
I'm going this year because Lush, Warpaint, Jennylee, PJ Harvey, Julia Holter is too good to resist.
-
How warm is the water that time of year?
-
The beach stage, featuring those pillars of dance music Black Lips and Bradford Cox
-
I saw Lush last week and met and talked with at least one of them.

I don't know how you can say that so definitively. Unless you have evidence (i.e. a quote from Gabi saying we decided not to approach them), then it's informed speculation at best.
The band has played several shows. People have talked to the band at such shows.
NOS Primavera Porto

Or
predictions: Nick Cave, St. Vincent (still no Portugal show or festival date), Warpaint (the best), Fever Ray, Thom Yorke and me crying because I can't go.
