In 2013, after sumptuous amounts of cider, wine & cocktails; I slept through what was apparently quite the ruckus as a nearby tent was searched and removed along with it's owners. Looks like it's finally come to court.

BT have tweeted that unfortunately there was not enough evidence to do them for tent theft.

8 people in a 2 man tent !!

I've seen five people share one legitimately at a festival. They just kind of staggered their sleeping hours. However, one bloke got up let the tent door opened and it pissed down. The five of them had to cope with the wet inside the tent as well at one point. There;s some crazy people out there. That said, I've seen our lot go feral.

"Aaron McSween was one of eight people found in a two-man tent which contained illegal drugs at the venue in May 2013."

8 people in a 2 man tent !!

It didn't even have a porch from what I remember.

When I got up in the morning, the tent was gone, it was taped off like a scene from CSI and there was a copper standing there.

To be honest, they stood out a mile from the usual BT crowd. I only saw 4 of them but (the girls especially) were dressed up ready to go clubbing in a city centre, they were all about 19. People were eying them up suspiciously from the moment they arrived.

I have tickets and disabled camping sorted, very excited about my first Bearded Theory.

You're gonna love it Slodge.

Me pals ticket has arrived today and she said she received a door code with it, anyone else get this? I got my ticket from the tourist centre, but she got hers from ticket sellers. Am curious as to what this code is...She asked if I normally get a code, I never have. Was wondering if it was a parking thing?

Just gone to look at mine, from Seetickets, and no door code on there.

All I can think is a lockup door code............... but I bought one of those and as far as I know I just take my email with me as proof I have paid for one.

Cheers Matty, I've asked her that and she said they were sold out, so she couldn't get one, she hasn't paid for one. Odd, wonder what the devil it is for.

I think Zion Train will be on lots later as that tent starts later in the day - but will not know for sure til we get ther and get programme.

Someone has done a clash finder ( I guess based on last years times ), and if its right RDF will clash with Zion Train :(

      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).

      Primavera Sound 2026

      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...
