Saturday.  I remember still being awake from the night before and seeing them, when I'd also seen Rolf the day before.  Wikipedia agrees with me.

My bad. Don't really know why I answer questions involving memory! Any idea who I saw when Rolf was on? 

 

EDIT: Clashfinder reckons I was right so I guess we'll never know. Adds up with my memory of giving my little brother heatstroke for my rents to deal with later that day when I got him to stand in the sun for The Stranglers and The Courteeners in return for an ice-cream.

Nope don;t get the logic and don;t thinks its s0d anyone to be fair , there;s always a ton of announcement after balance deadline, and if anyone is truely unsiure and was line up dependant (goodness knows why) they could always pay their balance and then still get a refund until beginning of May , trickle the announcments and makes it all more exciting ?

Hence 'immediately'. I've since taken Floor Filler's less cynical view, above.

They were the first band I ever saw on the main stages at Glastonbury.  Other stage, Friday.

Enjoyed them then, and would prefer them in a smaller tent this time.

Somehow we've managed to have two parallel discussions about two bands that played Saturday and Friday mornings on Other in 2010.  I thought we were talking about Reef, not The Magic Numbers.  Our memories are both fine, I just assumed the "they" in question was Reef, not Magic Numbers - which it wasn't!

No wonder Thrill Collins don’t like you...

DarkMatta playing Saturday afternoon on the main Glade stage. Not strictly a self confirmation, just another parent announcing on FB that they’re desperate to go and see their offspring play.

    • Absolutely second this. Were great at Big Weekend and already have a great catalogue of songs forming so far. Would love to see them on the farm!
    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
