Festival was in the middle of the jungle so you had to book a taxi home well in advance, completely fucked us all over. What? PdC is in a village (with shops, restaurants, even a hypermarket) in the countryside, not far from cities like Vigo and Braga and the very big city of Porto. There are no jungles in Portugal. 90%+ of people simply camp onsite. Not sure why you left it so tight, couldn't you have left 15 mins earlier then?

Hip Priest Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 Apparently someone on Spanish radio let slip yesterday that Los Planetas will be playing their album Una Semana en el Motor de un Autobus at Primavera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense. They were rumoured. The big takeaway for me is that if true this confirms another wave of Unexpected bands as they can't be Hidden.

It just doesn't make tons of sense considering the way they are dragging the announcements until the festival week itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeforheroes Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 Any thoughts on Bjork? Ordinarily I'd always watch her. Opener and Connect in 2007 were amazing shows but Volta was louder and much more direct than Utopia. Mordor wind plus disinterested people makes me think it won't be much fun. Seems like a perfect theatre show but not festival headline. Anyone else thinking similar? Really like the new James Holden so thinking of heading there instead.

This is going to be my fifth. I remember it pissing down during Drive-By Truckers four years ago, and there was a relatively short downpour with a double rainbow a few years back. Other than that, blissfully clear skies the whole time. Drive-By Truckers is the only band I can remember having to watch in the rain in the last 6 years. I'm in shorts and t-shirt all festival. Mostly, I feel silly for carrying a jumper around that I never wear. But then I'm coming to Barca off the back of a winter in the Irish Sea so maybe it's perspective.

This is my biggest dilemma of the weekend. I love the new James Holden but looking at setlist, Bjork could well just be doing the new album almost in its entirety.

xxialac Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 I'd like to see Bjork. But not at Mordor, surrounded by people quickly getting bored of the noodly new stuff which they don't recognise and then talking all the way through.

puckno Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 Her recent setlists has 12 (out of 14) songs from her latest, Utopia, in addition to four other songs that are not amongst her most popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernerber Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 Does anyone know what the 'Barcelona' stage is on the Sunday timetable? It isn't mentioned on any of the other days - I'm guessing it's just the Auditori de Barcelona? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think I'd maybe be satisfied watching about 15 minutes of it, for the spectacle, but then walk away. I'm torn because I didn't watch Grace Jones last year and I massively regret it.

I can imagine Bjork being similar unless you get a good spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the best show I saw last year. Bjork may be a more talented musician but a big festival stage is not the best fit for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
