At the front

not a front fan myself so cant help (tho I ended up there for muse last year by accident) but years ago errr 2004 I saw the Killers and was at the front - they were quite unknown, played bout 3 in the afternoon, we had heard hot fuss and LOVED it and all went mental dancing in a relatively small crowd - one of the best gigs Ive ever seen!

V is quite unique in the fact that lots of people just get to the front & stay there, regardless of who's on. At every other fest I've been to the majority of the front row changes from band to band with people only keen to get to the front for the act they're passionate about.

Best way is to go to side (left hand side of the stage) and get in that way, we were very close for both KOL & Muse last year. Think I'll be out of the crowd for Oasis as 2 days stinking of piss isn't that much of an attractive proposition.

why the front? its best to be about 10 rows back. providing you are around 6ft tall you should be able to see and have a good crawd around you. i was on the barrier for kasabian and getting crushed against something hard isnt that nice, get 10 rows back and you will be squashed inbetween softness of the people around you.

    • Maybe hopeful but get Knocked Loose on the Sunday opposite the legend. Similar to the slot Turnstile had in 2022. Would be absolutely phenomenal.
    • One of my personal favourite bands at the minute - MUNA. Was very surprised not to see them booked in 2023 with their last album but hopefully they'll be around next year. Very fun new album from these guys and, as aforementioned, another standout for me at Big Weekend.
    • Absolutely second this. Were great at Big Weekend and already have a great catalogue of songs forming so far. Would love to see them on the farm!
    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today.
