Anyone experiencing 'The Quickening'


Guest Pinhead

Recommended Posts

Today is the first day that I have finally begun to feel that familiar 'excitement' - that it is all just around the corner - and certain sights, sounds and even smells seem to be triggering it off.

For example, drove to work as usual, which involves going down a few country lanes to begin with - suddenly felt like I was driving down Muddy Lane and would come out at William's Field / Queen's any minute. Quick - swerve to avoid the Meeting Point!

Then heard a bass thumping as some boy racer with some OTT sound system in their car drove past - and suddenly it felt like I was listening to the combined and blended thumpings of all those sound systems around the site.

Then at work went for a massive blow out after lunch - and was suddenly transported back to the hot, steamy and stinking environment that is the interior of a turdis.

Anyone else experiencing The Quickening?

Me brain is once again utterly full of images of THOSE fields in THAT week in late June. It's been a few months since I've experienced it. Every time I even blink I am there now.

Been Glastobating for about a week now in excitement of it all, its costing a fortune in loo roll though :P

Looking forward to seeing Lucy in her basque as well :P

I was at an outdoor tent fair yesterday. Smelling the grass while tripping over guy ropes and listening to tents flapping in the wind certainly took me there

    • TOP 10 acts (top 5 in bold😞   Blood Orange (ciutat)   Guitarricadelafuente   Oklou - Looks like I'm capable of enjoying music in the rain after all, just not the whole night.   Rilo Kiley   The Cure   Jade   Depresión Sonora   Gelli Haha (Parc del Forum) - Her music never really clicked with me. Until I saw her live.   MARINA   Six Sex (ciutat) - I was shocked how supersmall the venue was and that almost everyone (except for me) knew every word of every song (including the ones that were released this weekend!).   Honorable mention:   Ashnikko - missed the first 15 minutes (because of Gelli Haha) and I'm not really a fan of her music, but the show was an absolute blast.
    • Totally agree about PinkPantheress stage choice. 'Luckily' for me, one of my main targets, fakemink, was absolutely awful, meaning that I left early and was in a surprisingly good spot at Cupra before it got totally packed.
    • As many said before, not my favourite Primavera. sh*tty weather is something I'm not really used to when enjoying music. Poor communication (more than 1 hour long radio silence during the worst rain) didn't help, but the main problem was me. I decided to leave the venue after things seemed to be getting back to normal. Massive Attack were supposed to play again (with Hymn of the Big Wheel back on the setlist!) as were all other artists on the smaller stages (including Fcukers with one my favourite albums of the year). FOMO was at an all-time high. However, after 4 hours in the rain, I had to admit to myself that I'm not cut out for this. I wasn't even that soaked (water-proof jacket worked). I was just fed up with the rain, wind and cold and wasn't able to enjoy music anymore.   Also, they should stop ignoring the growth of some artists between signing them up and their actual performance. Both PinkPantheress and Ninajirachi sets were ruined for me by completely inadequate stage choice.   However, I felt very much the same way after the 2022 edition and have thoroughly enjoyed all subsequent editions. So I'm still buying early bird tickets for 2027 and hoping this was a hiccup not the start of a downward trend.
    • I will definitely be buying a 2027 early bird pass, partially because of the priority reservation privileges for the Ciutat sets. Hopefully the organization will take action to improve upon this year's failings. Because I thought the free water options and sound quality were an improvement over last year, so clearly they can actually implement positive changes.   I also hope all the douchebag chompers get in the sea, cause I was more bothered by them than in the past few years.   Highlights: The Cure, Ninajirachi, Knocked Loose, Current 93, Blood Orange.    
    • Similar feelings to a few others on here. Not my personal favourite edition but a long way from giving up on it. Felt overcrowded at times and there are just too many people there that don't seem to like music that much! Hardly went to main stages which was the plan. Highlights Ralphie Choo, rusowsky, Gorillaz, Geese, Gelli Haha, The Sophs, PinkPantheress, Dijon. Accommodation booked for next year. Thanks for your company and comments over the past year.
