Just a quick reminder that I am watching you lot and will not allow anything stupid being said!

We will not be making any compromises where the weathers concerned. Even Sunday showers are not welcome. Typical British attitude to start handing over our well earned sunshine and dryness cause we think were lucky to have no r*** for 4 days.

Stay positive, stay strong. Do not surrender! :ph34r:

Can I just say have a fantastic time everyone - it's gonna be epic in this weather and Langdale Wolf, if you are around at the Bimble Inn on Thursday at 12, i'd like to buy you a pint. Your commitment to the NRNC Alliance needs recognition!

Seeing there are poems floating about...

Langdale wolf and his merry team,

have been fighting a battle that's been unseen.

for victory against the lows out west

The boy and girls have done there best.

Their determination to win for us all

has seen them battle but never fall.

So thanks to you and the squad of many

The rains at bay and the suns aplenty.

:)

Well done all we thank you... I have shed loads to do today so must crack on!

Fantastic!!

<Pedantry alert - Adolf was Austrian. And a bit of a shit. Should we accept images of him towards the NRNC cause? Nazism isn't REALLY one of the main ingredients in our peaceful movement.... I suppose they should be allowed if they're as funny as this one>

Final daily update:

ECM: Dry, sunny, scorchio :)

GFS: Splash of rain Sunday afternoon, but sunny :)

GFS Ensemble: Small chance of rain on Sunday, temps about 20 deg C :)

Norwegians: Very light shower Saturday, overcast for weekend :)

Met Office: Dry and sunny, chance of thunderstorm on Sunday :)

BBC(based on Met Office, but more detailed): Dry, sunny, low chance of thunderstorm on Sunday :)

Meteo: Dry and sunny. Chance of very light rain on Sunday :)

JackOne: Dry and sunny. Chance of thunderstorm on Sunday :)

Yesterday's forecast looks nailed on now. Everyone agreeing it will be lovely and the only risk of all this nice weather is a risk of thunderstorms on Sunday, but this is only a risk and it's on Sunday, so I'm fine with that.

Put up tent in medics field last night (I'm just a friend of a medic, so no free pass, but also no hard work) and it's worth bringing a mallet. Then did the most depressing drive home to get back to work today. Oh well, not long now.

    • 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. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
