Hehe, that was my point really. It once took me nearly 40 minutes to get through Silver Hayes (Thursday night '11)

aha yeah. If its busy its really busy. But last year I did it in 5 minutes.

After abandoning the women folk of course. A proper man walk.

Yeah. I just basically double the time it takes me to get anywhere from sub-headliner til 1am compared to any other time.

Crowd for Mary J/Motorhead is going to be massive. Alternatives are dicey for that time period vs two fairly unique festival performers.

Agree. Second half of Motörhead has a bit of opposition from The Vaccines but it'd have been sensible to put Catfish and Jungle the other way around.

Ah but peace rabbit hole then clashes with the Foo fighters. looks like its peace instead of jungle then...

Peace is looking like something I might have to make a decision for on the day. I absolutely love them but I would quite like to see Motorhead and it'd be the 3rd time in the space of a year I've seen them. Still, they're reliably great and Motorhead are a bit of a novelty act anyway... guess I'll have to see how I'm feeling.

you cant beat peace in a tent. so much better than them being on an open air outdoor stage

True, the 2 times I've seen them were on main stage at Reading, which I spent most of recovering from Royal Blood and trying to move into the crowd, and as support for Bombay Bicycle Club where naturally only part of the crowd was into it, so I reckon this will have a much better atmosphere than either of those. Might have go, but it's a tricky decision.

By the looks of who he's up against .. Jamie T will get a sizeable crowd I would have thought.

I dunno, I think it will be big but not massive. Weller will still pull a reasonable crowd based on his older stuff and I think FKA Twigs will get a fairly big crowd. Don't see Death Cab pulling that many people away from him.

    • 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
