My prediction after watching Countryfile:

The site will remain somewhat muddy and depending on the frequency and location of the mixed weather during Monday-Wedsnesday, will either stay as is today or dry out a little. Parts of the site already churned up will remain that way. There will however be plenty of areas to sit down and enjoy the grass ;-) and whatever happens we will all have a good time.

On the other hand, the papers will report a complete washout and show endless pictures of all the muddy boots/people/puddles they can while musing endlessly on how otherwise sane people can enjoy such squaller.

Well, I'm looking on the positive side, after all, there's not a lot we can do about it. I'm sure we'll all have a ball whatever, although it is nice to be able to flop down where you like! As soon as that forecast was over, I couldn't get back onto efests, presumably for the amount of people discussing the weather! lol

    • I guess we should also not underestimate that the Slowdive sound person is probably not quite used to open-air daytime performances in such a large, open area. 🙂 I imagine it's very different from mixing the sound in a tent. Plus, even though I was openminded about it at first - you never know how things might sound or work out in a different setting if you don't try - I just don't think their sound is very suited for this kind of setting, it really benefits from darkness and a nice light show and all that. Still, nice that they got to give it a try.
    • i agree, was really disappointed by the Slowdive sound (we were fairly close to the podium) also if you consider that for all other main stage acts i saw they got it perfectly right.
    • Thanks man for sharing your thoughts. I would say i generally agree with you and do agree people close to the podium should position themselves further back if they want to have full conversations and apparently are not interested in the music; to fair it is mind boggling these people are even there as chatting gets so much easier in the back field. That said i did not really have the same experience as you, front rows for example at MBV, Men I trust, Big Thief, NewDad, Slowdive, where really into the music.    yes i BBK is really high on our list but we just realized it is next year 25 years of Primavera so perhaps we do one more. 
    • When does the Thursday lineup get announced? I see they had Moonchild Sanelly and Young Knives last year, would be cool to get something along those lines again.
