Bilbao BBK Live 2019

[Machielsmit]

Didn’t you guys find the Saturday ridiculously crowded? Had the idea the whole line up on that day (minus the Strokes) were all support acts of Rosalía, for the Spanish visitors at least.  Cool though to see so much hype and adoration for an artist, we noticed it in the city as well. But yeah, however it’s logicial with the spreading of the artists throughout the days (2 days with no big headliner, 1 day with 2 huge ones), the difference in amounts of people seemed extremely big. And for me they sold too many tickets for the Saturday: we waited 40 mins to order fries, one and a half hour to get a bus at San Mames, an hour to get a bus back, etc etc. Really nice atmosphere at the festival though, will definately consider coming back.

Yep. People were complaining about it on socials and BBK were deleting the comments too. But they said it sold out and was within the capacity/law. I also waited quite a while for a bus back to camping. 

This shot is from that night:

Yeah Friday was a bit too busy but still really enjoyed pretty much every aspect of the festival.

The only negatives were the faff to get from town to the camping site, the food at the festival site (pretty average at best) and Liam Gallagher being on the bill/being rubbish. The security were touching people's groins in a way as part of the frisk like I've never seen before - possibly fair I suppose as that is where people hide their stuff!

Otherwise was very enjoyable. A lovely crowd. A cracking lineup.

Went straight through the gates all 3 days, had a small bag with me that they just opened. Was surprised since I don't look european and usually get "randomly searched".

Top 5 sets of the weekend was The Strokes, Liam, Viagra Boys, Idles and Shame. HM to Vince Staples and Dj Seinfeld. 

Thought everything went really well except the friday, the bus queue at 20:00 was 1,5 h and the queue back at 03:00 was over 2 hour. I mean it felt like they had 5 buses they went up and down with a massive line. Can't be that hard to plan for that, they know how many tickets they sell and how many of those are with camping. 

Not as international as I assumed, heard someone speak english once maybe. Basoa stage was mental. And yea Bilbao was a really beautiful city.
