Hum, The Killers - will def be somewhere else when they're on! ;) Interested to see that Wild Beasts are playing, though - have been curious to see them for some time!

And I'm back... Busy times kept me off the forum for some time...

The Killers is not my favourite band to take a headliner spot, but I'm very happy with all the electronic acts that have been announced :preved:

Also, Gocoo is an absolute must-see for those who like percussion groups and those who just like to see something they don't see every day/festival.

I have to say I'm really disappointed so far with the line up and even more so that I didn't go with a few mates who went last summer. That line up in 2011 was always going to be very tough to beat, but they haven't even got close for me so far.

There is about 2-3 acts max that I would be certain to watch on the entire line up if I were there.......certainly not worth a 200 quid flight, 160 quid ticket plus spending money for me. Stone Roses being one of them and I'm watching them down the road from me in the summer at HP before the festival.

Optimus, BBK and others are in a different league so far regarding line up / value for money.

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
