Experience deems wellies necessary. I mind turning up at Connect with pointed base loafers on. By the Saturday, a pair of green dunlops had been purchased.

 

Two pairs of trainers for the weekend does me. Wear a pair Friday and then let them 'harden and bash off the mud for the sunday and then other pair for Saturday and for the bus home.

At present it's looking like Thursday / Sunday without much, if any, rain and Friday / Saturday with some fairly heavy showers and consistent rainfall, so pretty much a mixed bag like you'd expect. Could do with the ground being at least mostly dry before the heavy rain hits on Friday morning.

It's really hit and miss right now but mostly every forecast has friday as a bit wet. I think we can wave bye bye to any potential scorcher like 2013. I still say we wont know for sure until Wednesday at least. I'd take last year's weather in a heartbeat right now.

Think I would prefer the current forecast to 2013. That year it was too hot! I was struggling to cope in that

Yeah waking up in the tent was disgusting in that heat I mind.

I think I'd cry if a repeat of 2012 happened. Surely itl be nowhere near that bad as we even rarely get that kind of rain in winter months!

I think on Friday it's going to rain, all websites now say that, and it's going to rain all day. The other days are are different on websites so, really, no confirmation. I'm one of the few who prefers 20 degrees plus rather than rain, I absolutely despise standing still watching an act in the rain knowing it'll be at least 20 minutes until you're under cover. If the ground conditions are largely affected on Friday I'll consider leaving early I despised 2012 and couldn't do that again

The best week of summer in Scotland is usually in May. At a festival I was at this May it was -1 at 10am! This year the weather will be fine, no heavy downpours and no heatwaves. Pretty much perfect I'd say.

Is it to rain all day and night mate?

2012 was ridiculous. I don't think I was never not standing in at least a foot of of mud at any one time. I just like dry overcast weather. A bit of rain is harmless too so i will take that but not too much. I'm not asking for much here, somebody make me happy please

    • 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
