Big highlight for me too, I must confess to have uttered the word "Meh" after the Beady Eye performance, but what a contrast when the Hives hit the stage. It suddenly felt like the festival had started with a Tick Tick Boom!

Despite no footage from BBC there is a large amount of good footage appearing on YouTube if you wish to re live the set.

I was stood to the left of the sound stage and wondering how far back people actually sat down when pelle instructed during Tick Tick Boom everyone infront of me did but unsure of the people behind?

Not a surprise to see people more complementary about Pelle's between-song chat than the actual tunes themselves, but yes - it was damn good fun.

Just a shame about those songs.

Hate To Say is fine - but a long way from the 'riff of the century'. Tick, Tick Boom is pretty good. But that's all I'll concede.

"Wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute now"

Aye - I'm waiting a minute for a better tune to come along.

I definitely enjoyed it - just on a superficial level. But I don't want to spoil the vibe, so I'll stop raining on people's parade.

I thought they were amazing even though back by the ring of flags.

I thought he said get me a ladder? whats he on about. Think ive missed the joke. Someone help me out

Cracking frontman though and Hives IMO have enough tunes to play a early set for sure

    • 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...
