Tame Impala !!! v Floating Points v Churches 

Foals v Explosions in the Sky

PJ Harvey v Mac Demarco

was anticipating the Grimes & LCD clash but it still hurts. Grimes will be my first park headliner though and should still get back to other for last hour of LCD :)

New Order v M83

Saint Etienne v Band of Horses

Beck v Stereo MCs

There are no headliners I'm interested in on the Sunday which must be a first, but later on Plaid into Kayla Painter in the Glade is going to be lush. Very happy about Tame Impala too. I was hoping to avoid the Pyramid altogether but Tame Impala and Beck are a must see.

On the plus side, my headliners have split really well – New Order (Saturday) and LCD (Sunday) being my only options (and what great options!). However, I would have happily done Underworld, Sigur Ros or Richard Hawley on Friday night. I reckon everyone I know will plump for Underworld – plus that offers my only chance to get into the Naughty Corner after a headliner.

 

I’ve also got Foals - Explosions in the Sky – Ronnie Spector

 

New Order – Mercury Rev

 

Madness – Jagwar Ma

 

 

Not too drastic though I reckon

I need help!

If I go The 1975 on Other 7.15-8.15 how much of Tame Impala will I miss? If they are on Pyramid 8-9.15?

Realistically how long you rekon it will take me to get there? And is this do-able if I am prepared to miss the beginning of Tame Impala?

Depends on where you're standing in one and where you want to stand in the other.

Also depends on whether it's muddy or not.

But you can probably do it in 20 minutes.

Sunday night is bad, but there's no question I'll be at LCD.

Saturday on the other hand, is an utter minefield of great acts clashing or bleeding into each other. Art Garfunkel, Floating Points, Mercury Rev, Chvrches, M83, Lee Scratch Perry, Tame Impala, Ms Dynamite, A Guy Called Gerald, probably even more I haven't spotted yet. It's the most colossal pileup of clashes I've ever seen.

My hero! You have made me feel better! So I can probably catch the 2nd half of Tame Impala?

For sure.  If you watch The 1975 from the rear of the crowd on the side (RHS as you look at the stage) and make beeline the second they down tools and approach the Pyramid from the LHS (again, as you look at it) you could probably do it in less as the crowds should be fairly manageable.

Unless you're stopping at bars, the longdrops, etc.

I'm gutted about missing Grimes, but LCD Soundsystem definitely wins out for me. I think that's my worst clash - I'll pick Beck over PJ Harvey as I'm off to Field Day in a couple of weeks so will see her then.

Am a little gutted I'll be missing grimes but I've been wanting to see LCD Soundsystem for an age so makes it a little easy to deal with.

Excellent! Then I can head back to the Other for New Order!

Just need to make sure I'm on the Right then! Feel SO relieved now!

Muse vs Disclosure.... I've seen Disclosure twice before so I'll probably stay at the pyramid since I'll be there for Foals anyway.

Coldplay and LCD clash, but I've seen Coldplay before and their recent setlists and crap so LCD probably wins that? Although I'll be seeing LCD again later in the summer so who knows, ill decide on the day.

I saw mention of Them Crooked Vultures in another thread but I can't find them anywhere on the bill, can someone tell me the stage and time?

I factor in 15 mins to get from the Pyramid to the Other (and vice versa obviously!).

    • 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.
