I think it will be ok, main worry is it raining there but no harm with a bit of md as long as the weather holds off when everyone is there.

I find everyone having a bit of md does help. Especially of the ma variety

The pegs for my tent were coming out of the ground in my garden during the test run. And that was a couple of weeks ago when the weather was nice. No idea how they're gonna stay in the ground with how it's looking at the moment

Push the pegs in at an angle to the tent. The strain of ropes and the tent will naturally try to pull them out so push them in at an angle towards the tent so you create a right angle.

times I've seen it wet like that a dry day or two has sorted it out as it drains away. Sun obviously helps.

 

We need a couple of no rain days. Less chance of the environmentalist guys looking to halt it when it's wet (due to idiots pissing everywhere) with to it being more diluted? No that doesn't make it ok!

Will try my best, thanks. Taking lots of spare pegs too so just in case

That sunset over the site on the webcam at the moment is giving me a little bit of hope. Can't wait to see that sunset again next week!

Yes that's a really beautiful view tonight, just like it's saying 'don't worry guys, trust me, all jus' gonna be OK'

I didnt sleep a wink on the Sunday night and had to get the 8am coach back. Taking a quilt this time

Yep, coach back to Liverpool at 8am, worse morning of my entire life. Taking a pillow last year was the best idea I ever had

I'm still very optimistic. It is Friday. This is the first year I am getting there on a Thurs, usually I turn up on a Friday (I am a teacher). So many years I have had mates telling me the whole site is fucked due to rain on Wed/Thurs but its dried up when I get there on Friday or at least the following morning Sat. We have 4 whole days. The weather forecast looks good. 

Also we have been sent a couple of videos of the worst places just after a massive downpour, this is not going to stay like this. Cheers

Got coach back at about 1pm to liverpool and got stuck in mad traffic then an 8 hour ferry to Belfast at 10pm. Pretty much locked myself in a cubicle with the fear for the duration of the cruise home. Bringing the car this time!!

    • Totally agree about PinkPantheress stage choice. 'Luckily' for me, one of my main targets, fakemink, was absolutely awful, meaning that I left early and was in a surprisingly good spot at Cupra before it got totally packed.
    • As many said before, not my favourite Primavera. sh*tty weather is something I'm not really used to when enjoying music. Poor communication (more than 1 hour long radio silence during the worst rain) didn't help, but the main problem was me. I decided to leave the venue after things seemed to be getting back to normal. Massive Attack were supposed to play again (with Hymn of the Big Wheel back on the setlist!) as were all other artists on the smaller stages (including Fcukers with one my favourite albums of the year). FOMO was at an all-time high. However, after 4 hours in the rain, I had to admit to myself that I'm not cut out for this. I wasn't even that soaked (water-proof jacket worked). I was just fed up with the rain, wind and cold and wasn't able to enjoy music anymore.   Also, they should stop ignoring the growth of some artists between signing them up and their actual performance. Both PinkPantheress and Ninajirachi sets were ruined for me by completely inadequate stage choice.   However, I felt very much the same way after the 2022 edition and have thoroughly enjoyed all subsequent editions. So I'm still buying early bird tickets for 2027 and hoping this was a hiccup not the start of a downward trend.
    • I will definitely be buying a 2027 early bird pass, partially because of the priority reservation privileges for the Ciutat sets. Hopefully the organization will take action to improve upon this year's failings. Because I thought the free water options and sound quality were an improvement over last year, so clearly they can actually implement positive changes.   I also hope all the douchebag chompers get in the sea, cause I was more bothered by them than in the past few years.   Highlights: The Cure, Ninajirachi, Knocked Loose, Current 93, Blood Orange.    
    • Similar feelings to a few others on here. Not my personal favourite edition but a long way from giving up on it. Felt overcrowded at times and there are just too many people there that don't seem to like music that much! Hardly went to main stages which was the plan. Highlights Ralphie Choo, rusowsky, Gorillaz, Geese, Gelli Haha, The Sophs, PinkPantheress, Dijon. Accommodation booked for next year. Thanks for your company and comments over the past year.
