So I live quite close to the Prima Forum site and normally around there it is bliss. I run 3 or 4 times a week through the actual Forum site, however, obviously Prima is on so you won't be able to access this area. However, you can just keep running along the coast. You'll have to go along the road for about 2.5km but then you can either jump along the sea and run up to Badalona OR turn inland and run up a river called River Besós. From there you've got about 6km to play with running up the river on really nice road or grass. If you want to stay in the city, I'd recommend staying near the beach to stay flat, or up in Montjuic starting from Placa Espanya if you want a hill challenge. Running through the city is really start and stop. Happy running pal! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swanmob Posted May 18, 2022 Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 My third primavera. I agree with all the reasons to date. I love the fact that the primavera, ray ban, Adidas and pitchfork stages are all right next to each other so it allows you to see so much top class music in a day. I particularly remember a run of slowdive, grizzly bear and beach house a few years ago alternating between primavera and ray ban which are a stone's throw from each other. That was an awe-inspiring few hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveje Posted May 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 The headliners basically never clash with each other, the main problems are the clashes with and between the undercard acts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxialac Posted May 18, 2022 Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 Instinct says today for the timetables now - but zero evidence for this! There shouldn't be that many new cancellations seeing as they only updated the lineup less than three weeks ago. Perhaps a couple more only. And some replacements to balance. Do still think Fatoumata Diawara's tour dates are very suspicious. Has to be there surely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDave Posted May 18, 2022 Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 Radiohead 2016, you could hear a pin drop, never experienced that before or since at a big crowd. I had to break the silence to tell the girl in front that her handbag was on fire as she'd dropped a cigarette into it by accident, and even then I had to whisper it. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know a band is captivating when you can set fire to yourself without noticing! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Float Posted May 18, 2022 Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 Which Ciutat gigs are y’all planning to see? I had planned to see Beck on 5th and Sons of Kemet on 6th since the day they were announced. But in the past week I’m now leaning towards Alex Cameron/Shame on the 5th and King Gizz/Beak on the 6th? Im going to RHCP on the 7th (hoping to catch Los Bitchos afterwards) and the Phoenix/Khruangbin/Ride gig on the 8th feels like a no-brainier (really wanted to see Chet Faker though).

I thought it might be lacking that "all in it together" feeling you get from a camping festival so good to hear. Am very much looking forward to my hotel bed, shower, balcony and swimming pool. All in it together: wait untill you leave that first night or get back the second day or even better when we're all worn out but so ready for Dj Coco at Ray Ban!!!

I want to do Rina / Wet Leg / Linda Lindas on 1st if we have time. We fly in that afternoon so may be a push. Otherwise, I don't want to spend much time in queues as I want to explore the city in between the 2 weekends so I'll be playing it by ear. If Little Simz or Beach Bunny clash with other stuff at the festival then I'll try and get into those. I want to see Keiyaa, Steam Down, Meet Me @ the Altar and Pom Pom Squad who aren't playing the main festival so I'm going to try and get to those as well.

For me, the Ciutat highlight are L'Imperatrice, but they're on the 7th. Other than that, it really depends on the clashes during the weekends. So on the 5th probably Boy Pablo + Alex Cameron / Beck / Les Savy Fav and on the 8th either Poble Espanyol ride or P.C. Music night (again, depending on how much of these artist I manage to see during the weekends). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I don’t get there until late and am gonna have to miss this. Pretty gutted tbh as that would’ve sorted out a few clashes for me and I would’ve booked to arrive the Tuesday if I knew they were gonna add this. Annoying.

greenlimetrees Posted May 18, 2022 Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 As a long time lurker of this forum and first time poster (& first time at Primavera), just wanted to see how helpful it’s been reading everyone’s posts. Definitely getting excited now! My top 5 for W1 are: - Parquet Courts - Caribou - The Strokes - Fred Again - Bikini Kill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
