Just going to start loading the car up, sure I take more stuff every year although I'm sure most of it belongs to my wife ;)

Anyway, the NFR NFC campaign appears to have worked wonders, whatever happens from now on in it's going to be superb, have a great time everyone. This thread has kept me thoroughly entertained for the last few weeks. From pics of German girls to ongoing sexist quarrels, it's been a rollercoaster ride.

Avalon is waiting, and the sun will shine, let's party!! :D

Having followed this thread for the last couple of weeks I'd just like to say 'Well done' to all who have kept things positive. I'm sure it's your hard work that has resulted in a forecast that is better than was expected a few days ago. The power of positive thinking is there for all to behold.

Oh I'm a teary excited mess. Cannot wait to get to the land where glitter is not only acceptable but mandatory before lunchtime!

We made it! What a beautiful end to this year's weather thread!

Time for me to pack up work, pack up the car & head down to our hotel - I shall see you all down there, sweating in my wellies tomorrow before cracking out the flip flops on Thursday morning.

Have a good one! :D

Well, well, well. This is the first year I've contributed a few posts but always been an avid follower. I feel it's been a long round with maaaaaaany a winding turn!

It's been a blast and our positivity is inspirational, long may this continue through the awesome days ahead. We have bloody earned this party so let's go enjoy and have a blast. Work has finished for me now and I'm so excited a little bit of pee might come out!

See you all there.

Peace

    • exactly. give them mordor slot when I have other alternatives, not Wednesday
    • Absolutely love her record, System. Definitely an album that rewards a bit of commitment.   She's right on my must-see list. Hoping she's in the Walled Garden, as I think her sound might be a bit muddy if she's early-ish in Far Out.   Ben
    • Same here, I kept trying to go on A View From My Seat to see if each block was worth it. So vague!
    • Ok, I’ve had time to process the experience now, so here is my review.   The good Barcelona - what a beautiful place! What lovely people! The city was like another headliner. Stayed in El Poblenou, and the bars, cafes and restaurants were perfect. Avalanches - Absolutely spectacular, euphoric set. Fantastic stage. Possibly enhanced by substances that I timed right, for a change. Added bonus that I don’t really remember the queue. The Cure - I’ve been a fan for 34 years, and never got round to seeing them, so this was a dream come true. The XX - The sound was exceptional. The lights and setlist perfect, giving each member their moment. Was really loud where I was standing (between the front and the sound desk), but i didn’t notice any chatters - even during the quieter moments. Also loved Men I Trust, .bd. , Big Thief, NewDad and Gorillaz. The food within Parc Del Fòrum was also a lot better than I was expecting.   The bad People talking non-stop throughout some of the sets, and shouting to be heard over the music. I had to move 3 times during Wet Leg just to be able to hear the band over the crowd. It’s probably an age thing, but I just don’t understand it. You’ve paid how much to watch these acts, and now you’re standing with your back to the stage, missing the music and ruining the experience for everyone else? Odd behaviour.   The weather apocalypse on Thursday. I genuinely thought I would be able to tough it out. I couldn’t. Left after Geese. The lack of communication from Primavera didn’t help.   Whilst it was lovely to be by the sea, and the sunsets were very pretty, the site is a bit…concrete-y, isn’t it? I kind of longed for some grass and trees. Often found ourselves standing on the steps by the Adidas yard by some bamboo. This was probably a subconscious need for some nature. The fact that some of the nature included cockroaches did not negatively affect the experience.   My daughter, for running away when she saw the drug dogs in the queue on Thursday, meaning that I lost her for the whole evening. She hid her stash under a bench, and it miraculously survived the storms.   Also, can someone explain the point in having a wristband, when you still have to show your ticket every time you enter and leave the site?   Finally, I would like to nominate myself as one of the bad things about this year’s Primabera. I should have done Primavera a lot better. It was my first one, so I’m still learning, but I think I left too early on the Thursday. Left after the Cure on Friday, so I would be full of energy on Saturday, and then barely made it to the end of Gorillaz anyway, meaning I missed Overmono, Skrillex, Skullcrusher, Kneecap, and a few more I would have liked to see.   All in all Amazing lineup. Decent food options. Cupra and Cupra Pulse stages were very impressive. Weather was perfect for 3 out of the 4 days i attended.   It was always likely to be a ‘one and done’ for me, but we had a blast, even if I am starting to get too old for all this.
