xxialac Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 Good points. It's the Princess that's the key one traditionally, not SB Hotel Diagonal or Hilton Diagonal. And the Princess IS booked out for the second weekend of September (but not for other dates). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveje Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 I honestly don't think it's worth paying any attention to the accommodation prices or availability at this point, it's all completely unrealistic. For instance, the place we've booked for the current dates is just over 600 euros for 6 nights. For the dates that people are suggesting in September, it's over 3000 euros. That's just a fuck off price, has nothing to do with reality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohjesus Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 Agreed - and the hotel we’ve booked is actually cheaper for the September dates. So until we get a firm piece of evidence to a reschedule it’s all pointless guesswork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxialac Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 Ken said it seemed would be rescheduled for September and this is further backed up by the AC, Diagonal Zero and above all the Princess all being fully booked that weekend (and that weekend only). Forget about high prices of other hotels, I think the combination of these two factors alone points to the high likelihood of the festival being rearranged for Sep 8-12.

Ohjesus Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 (edited) well I don’t know Ken, but I’m definitely reserving my hotel for cheaper for that weekend, that’s for sure. God bless the ‘pay at hotel’ option. (diagonal zero is still fully bookable btw) Edited January 2, 2021 by Ohjesus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nesser Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 @OhjesusWhat hotel are you staying at? I booked two apartments on Booking.com a couple days ago but would rather much staying in a hotel if the prices aren't going through the roof yet.

There’s another Princess too. weird as diagonal zero is literally the closest to the forum entrance. Not cheap though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it’s not cheap - about £700 for 5 nights, for two, but it’s nearby (12 minute walk) and has sea views. When we booked for June it was £850 It’s hotel maritim - on the seafront (think there’s another maritim away from the front, round the corner) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

June looks unlikely, given Primavera having to commit money upfront and little confidence it will go ahead for a range of obvious reasons. Last year they found themselves in a similar situation and were able to move the festival to end of August. So this year similarly they are likely to want to move it to the Summer. Second week of September is the most likely date (though unconfirmed) based on a post from someone in the know and some hotels by the site being block-booked for that weekend.

Quadrophobia Posted January 4, 2021 Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 I'm amazed how this place will go mad about bands that are not on the line up or dates that are nothing but vague speculation. On another note, who'd ever thought that the act I wish for most for a Primavera would be The Vaccines. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I'm saying is that - once again - people around here are building arguments on so many layers of "what if" that it's really hard to keep track what is fact and what is assumption. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If all we wanted was facts we'd all just sit patiently waiting for the festival to release news. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is saying the dates being blockbooked means September going ahead is fact. No one is making an assumption either. Whilst it's only a hypothesis at this stage, it is based on something that did play out last year, and there are only two layers - which doesn't seem that many to me.

Ohjesus Posted January 4, 2021 Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) Last year I mentioned the aug dates on here I think, that I’d heard from a reliable person I know at livenation.

Archi Posted January 4, 2021 Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 We can only make speculations. Like @TheFullShaboo said, it's the purpose of a forum about music/festivals like this one. If we only speak about what happened during the festivals, we would use the festival only 2-3 months each year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pipan Posted January 4, 2021 Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 (in alphabetical order)* Die Katapult girl in red Manel Pabllo Vittar Rolling Blackouts Costal Fever * I consider Metronomy to be a headliner, that's why they aren't on the list. And I still hope Roosevelt will be there, but unless he is officially confirmed, there is no place on the list for him either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
