I'm quite happy with those times! My only real painful clashes are:

  • Empress Of vs Parquet Courts
  • Goat vs John Grant vs The Avalanches (planning to watch the 1st 20 minutes of Goat)

It would've been cool to have seen Air but I'm not too bothered (can't be missing any of Beach House ;)). The same stands for Mystery Jets but I'll catch them at Glastonbury and watch Thurston here.

Goat/Avalanches is pretty shit (did say John Grant but then realised he was on Glasto lineup :P) saying that for £60 its not bad at all:

Yep, got a few mates going with me this time so should be good. I'm definately watching Parquet Courts, Steve Mason, Molly Nillson andThe Avalanches, I really can't complain about that. Will see how I feel when it comes to Air/Peej. Would love to see the whole of PJ Harvey but Moon Safari is one of my favorite albums of all time so seeing Air would be very exciting for me.

Got a £20 ticket a few hours before, and apart from the brief crazy 5 mins of rain it was excellent! Chose Beach House and PJ Harvey over the Avalanches and Air, mostly because the Rural tent was too far away and I'm lazy.

A bit muddy but a great day. Plenty of bogs, nice food and some decent beer if you are into that sort of stuff. Got there early. If you like a bit of Prince-esque funk check out a band called Bad Sounds. They were on first and I thought they were excellent.

avalanches was the biggest disappointment ever

My mate saw them in Oval Space last week and described their performance there as a car crash.

Was just them DJing rather than playing a live set.

    • Primavera refunding day tickets which are probably a negligible percentage of attendees yesterday.
    • Thursday day tickets being refunded. Fair play.
    • I’ve had a good sleep and I feel weirdly zen about the whole thing.   My first Primavera, so not the greatest first impression. I guess today couldn’t be any worse, right?   Thoroughly enjoyed Men I Trust and Geese. Cupra is a beautiful stage and the crowd seemed fun, friendly and engaged.   I think it probably could have gone even worse, considering how dangerous the crowding felt at times.   Anyway, we go again.
    • Brighton centre is a weird old venue for the Mary Wallopers - a great band, a really good live spectacle, and its a saturday night as well which sets it all up - but its at the bloody Centre? a charmless nonsense of a conference centre? Brighton dome is a ten min walk away and is so much nicer a place to see bands its ridiculous!    ah well, i'll probably mosy along anyways . . . 
    • So bad honestly. I get that bad weather happens but their communication was non existent. When you're managing crowds of tens of thousands of people, it's just not good enough. I left when Massive Attack was cancelled (the first time) and it genuinely did feel unsafe trying to get out. No one knew what was going on, people still sitting in the ground when there were hoards of people trying to leave, no crowd management at all...   I've been to PS enough times to know sometimes you need to just roll with it but this was way worse than "the bar queue was 30 minutes long".    Today will be better but still feel super disappointed.
