What's the sound been like on Arcadia the last couple of years? I know that the South East Corner is allowed to go later and louder due to it being further away from residents. So with Pangea being in/near the Park, can it still blast out the tunes?

Sound was pretty shit til about 2015. 

2manyDJs was bouncing.

2016, saw Carl Cox and that was loud

Good to know! Can ruin the whole thing for me if it's too quiet, awful when you can easily hear people talking over the music.

Will be interesting this year. By 2017 the Spider's ( :( ) sound was pretty stellar. Very crisp and clear and plenty loud, best of all from under the belly, where the three inward facing speaker stacks' output intersected.

I'm hoping there will be inward facing surround speaker with Pangea.

What do people think the chances are of getting anywhere near this thing when Fatboy is on? Bearing in mind it's right after the headliners finish is it even worth trying?

If you go before the end of the headliners you'll get a good spot

That's kind of what I meant, not going to cut the Chemical Brothers short so is it worth going afterwards?

Yep defo but depends where you are Personally if you wanna see chemical brothers I'd maybe edge towards the back in the direction of Pangaea towards the end of the set.  Your already over half way there compared to the pyramid. If your in the front or middle of the crowd your gonna have to negotiate getting away from the other stage and it can get really busy crossing the railway line. I'd imagine a good portion of the crowd will head for fatboy

Last time he played Arcadia he wasn't on til a good time after headliners finished, we made it to under the center of the spider with loads of time to spare.

 

I came over after the stones, across the other stage field and it was rammed.

Exactly what I did after the Chems in 2015 over for 2ManyDJs (which is fairly comparable though Fatboy is a bigger name) and we had no problems at all

Curious, we took the same route, including gathering both sets of kids and still made it in time to be waiting around by the shed chatting to security for a while before he kicked off.  I guess our purposeful striding paid off.

The Chems always finish on block rockin’ beats, which is a bit crap. So I might just start legging it then. I’m not even a particular FBS fan (I’d rather it was carl cod or Andy c), but Arcadia after other is s bit of a no-brained.

Bring frank, I accidentally took some ket during the stones, which may have slowed me down a bit (I recall that My make friend and I had to hold hands).

    • 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
