JayDiesel Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 Hold on, Lorde is 'headlining' with a 70 minute set? Followed by The Strokes doing 75 minutes? I know Strokes are infamous for doing super short sets, but Lorde plays over 90 mins in her own shows, and putting them back to back in those slots seems like serious short-changing. Am I right to be a bit annoyed by this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll be fine for two reasons 1. She's on super early at 4pm. Most people will leave the festival from 3am-6am so many will still be resting beforehand 2. She's fantastic but incredibly emotionally harrowing for a festival opener. I don't think I'm gonna convince my partner to go, think we'll just start with Faye Webster instead 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnarler Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 GOOD SPOT ADVICE: I think a great piece of info for anyone who hasn't been before is that it's normally really not crowded until the sun sets. When the sun is up it's easy to get good spots for anything no matter what time you arrive, at least that's how it's been for me. Once the sun goes down (about 10pm) you've got an hour or so of grace period and then between 11pm and 3am it really fills up and you'll find yourself sending photos of random things to your friends so they can find you. Someone just posted their advice to arrive just 5/10 minutes before an act starts and it's so true. If it means leaving sets early or eating on the go it'll put you in such a better spot to enjoy the music. LESS QUEUING ADVICE: Also if you want to minimise queuing, go to a bar at a stage with nobody playing. Sounds obvious but can save loads of time especially around the Ray-Ban (Cupra) and Primavera (Binance) stages. At the main stages this obviously isn't possible but in the rest it's such a trick to get quick beers en route between sets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also for those who ll make a very tight schedule, please have in mind the distance between the stages.. It might take ages to go from Mordor to the Bits area.. I'm with you - I've never been to Primavera but have had to adapt my approach to Glasto similarly in the last few years! What is Flatstock? Seen a few people mention it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid that, indeed, you might need to get there early enough if you want to be in for sure. Same goes for me & my buddy actually. A small primavera alumnus tip is trying to avoid "I can't miss..." mindsets. Especially the further you go into the festival/night. The start however can be pretty bumpy too. Thanks for this! So we go in, get a wristband (?) and then back out to Auditori? Will defo get there early enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
