that's the Corporate VIP side. The peasants including myself were over the other side making a huge atmosphere. I think Damon looked very emotional at the end of For Tomorrow.

Thats good then :) Sad I didn't catch them at any of these UK gigs, hopefully do an arena tour or reform again in the near future.

I had a fucking great time. I paid 2.50 for my tickets and I'm pretty certain I'm never gonna get value for money like that again in my life.

 

Crowd control was truly bizarre, as shown by that picture

 

I was within the barrier, and slightly stage left with plenty of room to dance. I must have been one of the last few through the weird system (which was like the entrance to the Naughty Corner) as I looked back as Blur came on and a whole crowd were being held back by security

 

Nice warmup for next week for sure. My feet are aching now but they'll be oh so strong come Wednesday

It was carnage for the Libs last year, people were heading for the open spaces they could see which turned out to be fenced off VIP bits causing all sorts of crushing and agro.

Any chance of donating a little extra to teenage cancer trust for the privilege or am I being a bit cheeky?

I slipped a tenner its way seperately after i'd got them. I'm just shouting about 2.50 to make it sound more impressive!

Wonder how many of you I was stood right next to and you didn't even realise :D

I am actually dead after this gig though, has made me a bit worried for glasto considering this is effectively (three bands and a headliner) and my legs are gone!

If you are the welsh bloke then no you will not beat England in the RWC. If you're the Gills fan, no you don't have a hope next season. If you're neither of those, maybe I will meet you at Glasto.

Just got home. I was quite far back (next to pylon 8) but the sound was pretty good. Thought Blur were good, not gonna lie I've seen them better in the past but enjoyed it a lot. Was great to hear some oldies I hadn't seen them do before - Thought of Cars, Message Centre, Stereotypes.

Glad everyone had a great time - cheers for sorting my mate out LaLaLand :D

 

Wow, that was unbelievable. Definitely gone straight in to my top 10 gigs - don't think I've ever sung and danced so much in my life! Thought the sound & atmosphere was cracking in the front pit, although I was kinda disappointed I Broadcast and Message Centre didn't get a better reception  :umbrage: I must have been the only person dancing to I Broadcast within a 10 meter radius! 

 

Got nice & wet during Metronomy but dried up quick enough once Blur were on and we were jumping around. Just got home and am lying in bed still buzzing.

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • 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.
