I usually get there around 5ish, always fun to see the less crowded early shows

What time do the gates usually open?

I'm 28 and I honestly have no idea how i am going to survive this.

Also I'll go right into a new  job when I'm back from PS. RIP Me 

I'm 44 and I get back from 10 days in America the Sunday before. My body clock is going to be all over the place!

Haha, I've got more than 10 years on you! A while ago I accepted my limits with regards to all-nighters, though. I'm happy if I make it to 2am these days! That said, with Primavera starting that much later in the day and the chance to sleep in a real bed I should hopefully have more stamina than I do at Glastonbury, when I'm on dead on my feet by midnight usually. 

And I've probably got more than 10 years on you...

It's a marathon, not a sprint.

7 weeks today.

All feeling very real now! Should be carnival atmosphere after three years of waiting.

More wild Speculation: If Grimes is there for a DJ Set and a headline Slot opened up, why not make her do a whole set?

I don't have a handle on Grimes' popularity, is she really bigger than M.I.A?

Tram down Diagonal to Glories is 24 hours. Can’t remember ever waiting for one.

And what about T4? I'm really counting on 24/7 service (I think I found this info on this forum), but the official website suggests otherwise and is quite clear about it. So I'm starting to get a little anxious - I usually manage to stay till 5 a.m. only one night in one Primavera (so hopefully two of them this year) and I'm gonna stay at a hotel near the end of T4 line (so not even a shuttle bus is going to save me this year).

Thank you! Wow, that's earlier than I expected. I'll still be having my old man disco nap then!

I really like when festivals do that but I would never have time for that at PS

[xxialac]

They have gigs by day at the CCCB for primavera pro people too. Had fontaines dc, confidence man and others in last two editions.

Yeah she’s bigger than M.I.A. The latter has fallen off significantly since her heyday, whereas Grimes is still on the up and up I’d say (helped in no small part due to her relationship with Elon making her a name known worldwide). She’d be on the smaller side of headliners, but she could probably do it (although I don’t think she will).

man, that daytime beach was comfortably one of the best bits of PS last time for me - absolute heaven. a trek to get there maybe, but beach, sun, proper loud soundsystem, lovely cafe, aperol spritz, a dip in the sea, sand between your toes...

This sounds bloody lovely, to be fair.

Kiasmos down there in 2018 or 2019 was beautiful.

Doing weekend 1 this year, anybody got any must see acts outside of the main ones?

 

[fools_gold]

What were bar prices like in the years previous?

Don’t know what your benchmark is but historically expensive for Spain, cheaper than e.g. London.

Am expecting a really big hike this year. Maybe to 7 euros a pint.

Are "main ones" headliners or also the 2nd tier?

They do keep it open especially for Primavera. It's a 24hr service for the three (six this year) big nights at the Forum. Between Sant Adrià and Ciutadella. It might not be on the T4 website but you can find it on primaverasound.com and various media outlets (in 2019).

Right, mainly the under card I'm not too familiar with

Its important not to by from the walking bars, they charged a friend 11€ for a 0,5l in 2015 😄 

last I remember it was 4€ (?) for 0,35l so neither cheap nor expensive. However if its Heineken still, any price is too high and I'll go for Tonic + smuggled-in Gin
