This might just be me but did anyone notice when they were at school that when the weather was really bad, everyone got giddy and messed around?

 

I've noticed that the same applies to festivals so I'm not bothered if we get a good dose of heavy rain, especially during a headliner :P

My mate works for stage hire and has been up building the stages. I can confirm that your weatherman is talking shite.

Rain looking likely on Friday morning, nothing monstrously heavy but unlikely to miss the site, should then be dry from Friday lunchtime until Sunday morning, with only the risk of very small showers on Saturday, Sunday still mostly unknown will be clearer tomorrow, the more long range forecasts and looking at light rain showers in the morning, drying out throughout the day

It looks a typically Scottish weather forecast, I don't think too much suncream is going to be needed

This would be delightful. Was getting para about everyone saying rain on the friday as there's nowhere I really need to be that day until Fatboy Slim so was planning on just vegetating in my camping chair all day until  :beach:

I survived 2012, and tbh, had a great weekend and genuinely didn't think it was that bad, people moaning left right and central, but make sure you're tent will keep everything dry, have dry clothes to sleep in and dry clothes for the next day and you're sorted, this time in 48 hours i'll be out my nut in a field chatting to loads of random strangers.

 

T IN THE PARRRKKK!!!!

2012 was horrible but you eventually man up and get on with it and end up enjoying yourself even more. Itl never be as bad as that again though that's the positive here and as you say if we have all survived it before we can take any weather that gets thrown to us!

    • 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
