Years & Years Sunday, Neil, as they’re playing a Pride party in Dublin on the Friday and Colourboxx (thanks @Somto Unigwe Raphael) on Saturday.

Bear with me here but:

If Sunday is the only day Years and Years can play. Does that pretty much lock in Pet Shop Boys for Sunday as well? Given they've performed together many times it seems likely they will guest during each others sets...

With that in mind and the fact PSB will be headlining then surely this makes my info of Kendrick headlining on the Sunday more likely?

Just saying etc...

How does PSB playing correlate with Kendrick playing? 

Can imagine Years and Years will be subbing Pet Shop Boys. Seems like a pretty obvious 1-2.

Yeah, seems no other place. JP headline would have them against PSB and they played Sunday Pyramid last time.

Weren’t they supposed to be up against Kendrick in 2020? 
 

Think that’s what he means.

Demographic wise if you’re going to have an artist which appeals to a younger demographic then having someone who appeals to a primarily different one seems logical.

Plus just filling in gaps if Foals are headlining the OS on Friday it rules PSB out for then, Macca headlining pyramid on Saturday (probably means a younger headliner for the OS)

So yeah I’d work on the assumption PSB are Sunday which fits with what I was told with Kendrick opposite on the Pyramid.

So this all but writes off QOTSA Friday then yeah? (sorry if this has been covered elsewhere...)

Foals - good for them, but seen them plenty of times and while they've always been solid, they've always underwhelmed me slightly. All Points East last year suggests diminishing returns.

Hoping for some good alternatives on WH/JP/Park.

I enjoyed Foals at APE but they’re hardly an exciting booking anymore as they play fucking everywhere all of the time, and even with new material I feel like I’ve seen it all before. They’re my front runner for Friday night so far and I’m sure they’ll nail that slot, but not anything I can get particularly enthused about in the lead up to the fest.

The sound was toilet so might have contributed!

I like them, and I think they're decent live, I've just seen it quite a few times now.

Must be an All Points East thing. Sound for Strokes 2019 was crap. Does make me wonder if I am better off seeking other places to see Gorillaz or The National.

    • 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.
