See I couldn't think of anything better (if we're being realistic to the size of Field Day). Horses for courses though hey

Quite, the type of festival/acts/crowd it usually gets it couldn't pull out a more perfect set of headliners really!

I cant, for the life of me, figure out how 'popular' LCD Soundsystem are in the UK....I.e. what size festival would they headline? Field Day? Latitude? Surely not Reading.....but yet....they are headlining Coachella. Mind you, that is scenster poser paradise.....

 

Im personally happy i get to see them again. I just.....have no idea where they would 'fit' in the UK festy circuit....Field Day is as good a shout as any....maybe Lovebox?!?

Lovebox is what we've heard, tho I can't guarantee it's right.

I'm confused now, I thought that turned out to be bullshit?

Nope, not necessarily bullshit.

Matey might be telling an outright porkie, or he might not. If not, what he heard might be right, it might not.

To be fair to him, he's in a place where in theory he should mostly get accurate info, tho I know from checking his history (some under another ID) he's not always been correct. From memory tho, he does have a significantly better hit rate than most posters here.

The DJ lineup gets better every year. Black Madonna, Tale of Us, Bicep, Jack b2b Gerd, Daphni -- all big bookings. Girl Band and Metz particularly float my boat too. If Primavera falls through then this lineup is solid enough that I can't complain too much.

Bad feeling it's gonna be Bloc Party as their London show is tonight (Thursday) and they could've been waiting for that to sell out/pass. It's not like Field Day could've anticipated how crap they'd become when they booked 'em though.

Oh, that fits too well. I really hope not, especially considering how many great bands are touring this summer.

Ah. That's okay after the prospect of Bloc Party but man gets everywhere. His new song is good tho.

Hoping he'll swing by Glastonbury this year, not sure where he could play these days though? 

Reckon we might see a 1-800 DJ set from him over the weekend.

The Sunday is looking like the more suited day for me though, not just I can justify the whole weekend price.

    • 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
