I actually had a walk around Bramham Park this afternoon. It felt really weird being there and there being no festival on. It was very serene.

 

I'm not sure what relevance this post has to anything, but oh well.

 

If you look at it on google earth you can see all the paths made by festival goers and where the tents go :)

The thing is, most of the estate is private and there's only one public footpath, which goes nowhere near where the arena is. It went past where Brown, Green, Orange and Red are though, and I could tell where everything was, like those trees that divide Orange and Green, the little woodland that divides Orange and Red, and that weird tree with all the branches cut off at Orange entrance.

 

It's odd because without all the fencing and poles and tents and food vans there it's just one big open field.

Leeds Saturday

Mariachi El Bronx - Not a fan of mariachi music, but an enjoyable way to start off  6/10

Neck Deep - Didn't really like them, but didn't expect to, as I am not a fan of heavy pop punk. Probably good within their genre 4/10

Drenge - Very Good early set, featuring a fairly equal amount of tracks from both albums. Good crowd and atmosphere 9/10

Palma Violets - Classic display of energy in the mix between indie and punk. 8/10

Panic! At The Disco – Only knew one original song; Bohemian Rhapsody was done very well. Surprise of the weekend. 9/10

Swim Deep – Decent performance, yet struggled to get the crowd going, due to the fact that half of the set was new songs that many people had not heard. Best songs, but may have been better to play more of the debut at a festival for crowd purposes. 7.5/10

Peace – 9th time have seen them. Great flow throughout the set, which attracted a good crowd to a good set. 8.5/10

Saint Raymond – Watched from the edge of the FR tent. Appeared to get the crowd going with some decent tunes. 6/10

Django Django – Everyone was pleasantly wasted for this psychedelic rock/art rock set, where the tracks were really vamped up well for a live show. Good crowd and provided a very satisfactory end to the night 8.5/10

Leeds Sunday

Nothing But Thieves – Decent start to the day, with some fairly good indie pop music 6.5/10

Twin Peaks – Sound didn’t seem that good, however good energy on stage 5/10

Foals – Attracted a big crowd, who seemed good (for the majority of the set). Could have done with 10-15 minutes longer, however an good performance overall 8.5/10

Slaves – Tent absolutely crammed, getting them the sort of crowd you would expect for a band much higher up on the line-up. Great performance, ensuring 35 minutes of mosh pits and great tracks. 9.5/10

Spector – Never heard of this band before, however immediately booked tickets for their UK tour afterwards. Small, yet excited crowd gathered for a superb indie set. 9/10

Circa Waves – Generated a huge party atmosphere for almost full tent, witnessing a very good set. 8.5/10

Wolf Alice – Matched up to the hype of being an excellent live band. Very impressed with how they dealt with the sound issues to deliver a grungy set. 9/10

Everything Everything – Another band which secures another album sale with their highly enjoyable set, despite being only on the fringes of the tent. 8.5/10

Catfish & The Bottlemen – Largest NME/R1 crowd gathered, seeing a excellently performed set by the band, causing true crowd chaos. 9.5/10

Lucy Rose – Never listened to her, but a folky set was a good support for… 6.5/10

The Wombats – Largest Festival Republic stage crowd for a long white gathered to see this set. Certainly not disappointed with the final set of the weekend, who really created a ‘last party’ atmosphere, which included a woman crowd surfing on a bin and the lighting rig being climbed numerous times. Really feel for security. Exceptional set. 10/10

    • 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
