What do you mean? It could be a struggle to distribute them possibly, but in terms of the way it would look it would be the same.

A festival wouldn't do it as what would be the point of having any other acts on at the same time, no one would be there.

They won't hand out glow sticks, they won't have a B stage, they won't push all the crowd out of the way to build a temporary walkway and they won't build a giant toilet in the middle of the Arena tent between Saturday and Sunday. Honest to God, some of the crap that is suggested on here..

My friend said they put them on the seats before they opened the doors. But he was hammered so that might be bullshit. The one thing I do know for a fact is that they kept lighting up at random times of the night for weeks afterwards, and it got so annoying that in the end my mate just threw theirs out. Said he thought it was like some sort of Doctor Who villain preparing to attack.

Do you know if there was a standing area or was it all seated? I know they would stand once Coldplay came on but just wondering if there was a standing bit then how would they do it. When I was at a concert in my town they handed glowsticks out as people got their tickets checked, but we eventually just helped our selves and people didnt have any. I still got mine but they arent lit up

Guessing the 3D glasses will be alot cheaper than glow sticks, chances are they are the paper ones. Could they give them the glasses as they enter?

Agreed the glowstick thing would be hard to do, and V dont seem the most motivated Festival team :P

Ah, watching that video reminds me of London 2012. :(

If they're radio-controlled then its surely even less workable at a festival than "just switch them on" glowsticks. It must be hard enough having enough clear airspace to support four soundsystems which each rely heavily on radio-transmitted signals, without adding in that kind of ridiculousness.

Glowsticks would look nice though. I think my girlfriend want to get some to take but I might forget to pack them.

My mum just told me her wristband thing was given to her after her ticket was checked so they weren't on seats or anything

    • Absolutely second this. Were great at Big Weekend and already have a great catalogue of songs forming so far. Would love to see them on the farm!
    • 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
