So when you guys are tracking down eFests members on Facebook and contacting them pretending to be another forum member, isn't there a point where you're like "hang on, this is a bit weird. It's just a festival forum"?

Yeah we do but carry on anyway because we're weird c**ts

Admittedly you're a tough one, but don't worry. We'll find you.

I've noticed a in a few predictions people have put the strokes as co-headliners, surely if they were to play R&L they would headline outright on their own?

Guess the thinking is that they co-headlined last time and haven't got any bigger so would do so again

Not sure if I remember reading this or am making it up but weren't the strokes lined up to headline and then pulp offered themselved and that's where R&L put them as co-headliners

Also with Libertines headlining outright surely The Strokes can!

I know you didn't say they'd co but just arguing the other point :P

Yeah I think that's meant to be what happened.

I think that's pretty much it. They have coheadlined in the past so they aren't against it but it depends on if the festival could get anyone else to slot in or if they wish to.

They wouldn't get as much shit for booking co-headliners as they would for booking Kanye. 

idk, they might get a lot of shit for it, but it would be a massive booking and would sell a lot of tickets, especially to the main R&L demographic of 16-19 year olds

    • 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.
