My only gripe


The Other Steve

Recommended Posts

Is the small percentage of selfish people who take a shower in the water taps and clean their hair (wasting water as it goes everywhere) whilst 100 people wait behind them wanting to fill up their water bottles whilst struggling in the 30 degree heat.

Apart from that...amazing festival as always ?

I understand where you are coming from, but suspect that being dirty / not fresh is alien to some people, so they just can't hack not using the facilities at the water taps to bath. There are other places to do this, obviously, but the queues would be even more mental there, if everybody at the water taps were to go to them. It's a kind of balance, and not a too bad one at that, in my opinion. Let's face it, if that's your only gripe then you are (and indeed you are) living in Good Time City. Have a fab night tonight.

It's a tough one. Doing loo crew and keep trying to suggest to people that they use greenpeace or kidzfield so everyone can get water quicker, but they are only a few minutes away from feeling fresh and perked up, so why not?

Remove the showers permanently too. Think of all that water being used because people can't go a few days without one

More an observation than anything as not impacted me. We just happen to be camped next to the water taps and watching a lot of people get annoyed and a lot of arguments over something that could have been avoided.  It was seriously hot that day and a lot of people were suffering in that queue.

    • 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.
