A clash that no one in their right mind loved to see.

We opted for Miley, which was probably the right call.

But no fan of having missed this.

I saw Miley as well with the thought Billie would top a stage at some point.

I’ve never seen someone command that much crowd control at such a young age.

When she does headline the pyramid she’s going to demolish it.

Her Reading performance actually beats this in terms of vocals and crowd control and that was only 8 weeks later.

Watching Michael Kiwanuka, another set I had forgotten how much I enjoyed.

Noticing that a lot of promised stuff is currently not on the iPlayer, Beyoncé for example. I assume they’ll be added after they are shown on the BBC.

Yep, they are releasing them after they've been shown.

first off, T-shirts on sale let people know they were taking the criticism with a wry smile.

I was going to wear my Glastallica T-shirt today. Couldn't find it. A bit too hot for black anyway. So wish I'd bought a white one as well (but at the time I was probably thinking "Metallica = Black. Natch"). Settled for 2010s glow in the dark jobby in red.

...they have studied the fest and know what it takes to win people over.

Lars is a regular.

Yep, gave it that extra edge. Was very sweet when he got on the mic at the end and gushed about it being his favourite place on earth.

Was 2014 not his first year, that made him fall in love with it then?

He's a regular *now* and gone full HAM on the place, but I think I'm right in saying that 2014 was his first visit.

Not sure about that. I'think I read somewhere he was there at least the year before, invited to tour the place or something, and just "got it" from the off. Definitely read that he was certainly,as a lifelong music fan, well aware of the festival prior to that.

(What is HAM?)

I think you're right, he got invited to tour it and ended up staying till 5-6am walking around with Emily and her husband. Either it was the year before or it was the Thursday night before they played I can't quite remember though.

Not that gripped by this Billie Eilish set to be honest. What do you lot reckon? 

I’m the same. Obviously she’s got some popular songs and it’s impressive considering her age but I’m not sure about her headlining.

I can see it, but only because of how quickly she became popular. Assuming she doesn't burn out, and there's no reason to suggest she will, she's doing everything right for a headliner slot. (dunno if I'd be there though...)

    • 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.
