Guy Incognito Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Damn there's some good offers on hotels. Maybe I will be able to stay in a plush place after all. Which is nicer/more convenient for getting to the Forum, Condal Mar or Best Price Diagonal? They're both roughly the same price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure they’ll do their best to have most of the original lineup back but obviously there will be quite a lot of acts who simply can’t do it due to prior commitments or whatever so I’d expect a fair few (hopefully of a similar quality) replacements across the board. At least we know Pavement are free (unless Malkmus has any solo shows lined up...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohjesus Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 I think there’s a few diagonal hotels. The best is diagonal zero. Literally at the bottom of the ramp that runs up to the entrance where people sell cans of beer for a euro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotel booked. What a turnaround from 14 hours ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxialac Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Same lineup as before other than all bands will be Skyping in. Festival now sponsored by Dettol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About a 20 minute walk which gets a bit tiresome after a bit. I'd go for closeness over anything tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fnmentaluk Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Booked diagonal zero as well. Wed to Sunday. £11 more than my cheap ibis, I had free cancellation on that as well thankfully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohjesus Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 If by some mad joyous reason the August date happens, we should definitely have an efestivals meet up in the hotel diagonal lobby at some point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephenF Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) Just booked Condal Mar Not a hope of it happening in June?! Can’t believe they haven’t even addressed it? Spain is in complete lock down, over 70’s here in the UK being asked to self isolate for four months...August looks like a winner...if it’s going to happen at all.

BTW the health minister han-cocked up with his use of language. Over 70s aren't being told to self isolate as he said, but to restrict going out (so seeing neighbours etc is ok).

Yes, that is how I understood it. It is also the weekend when Hotel Princess is fully booked. Rooms for the weekends before and after were still available.

Ohjesus Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 my source says the hoped for reschedule is aug 26th onwards, with Porto the week after - I guess it’s anyone’s guess how much outside of the usual thurs-sat events might be replicated now though.

Thinking about it, Porto will get the biggest boost from this (if it happens...) Porto early September is much less rainy than in June. Kinda best time of year to go there really.

I'd love to go at that time but it clashes with End of the Road 😔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
