Jamm Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 Help!! We fly UK -> Spain June 1st, fly back June 6th. My friend just dropped the bombshell his passport expires August 26th. Is our only option realistically the online one day service? No appointments, we’ve refreshed all day and only some Belfast ones became available. We need Durham. Is it now just a case of refresh all day every day and hope otherwise he doesn’t go? or is there any other options? He found a site VisaHQ that guarantees 7 day passport renewal but I don’t know if I trust them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The VIP pricing for the second weekend was extortionate, and the experience this year looks like it'll be worse than expected. There used to be a nice early bird discount to attract previous VIP holders to go VIP again, but if this is the direction Primavera is going, then that's the last. Yup.. and unlike W1, I found that no Auditori stage at W2 is such a disappointment. I wonder why no people complaint about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any bands playing that sound like The Black Angels or Wooden Shjips I guess the closest we had was maybe OM that got cancelled? Have you checked out the Indonesian band Senyawa playing the Friday W2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen them, a fan of their trio of classic releases but also very eager to see the armed so I would appreciate a feedback Haven't seen them in a while. They were great headlining End of the Road in 2010. I remember they played "I heard you looking" which was very loud and beautiful, Ira Kaplan was really on form. Then I saw them at Primavera Porto in 2012 which was less great with a more sleepy feel to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a surprise (if at all) at this point, as there's no Hidden Stage on the map (let alone other live stages with unannounced lineups) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't just sit refreshing the 7 day one for the chance to save £35. And do not under any circumstances use something like VisaHQ to try and get a passport in the next 9 days. Gov website only. Well, actually, I guess if you wanna gamble the money you could rather than cancelling everything as it might be hard to shift tickets at this point. Good luck!

FloorFiller Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 Anybody got any kind of packing list or tips on stuff that may be useful for the festival/in general that others may not think of?

There are so many potential smaller additions to the band, it makes so much sense that this would be the case. Plus Hidden has been a tradition for a decade plus.

Guess I could use some extra vitamins 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hip Priest Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 Looks like you can only access the Primavera stage from the "far" side as the side that leads to the top of Ray-Ban is closed off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. But that would be a total waste of space in front of that stage and double the time needed to change between the two stages as well as creating a totally unneccessary bottleneck. Lets just hope they don't do that. Also, the map doesn't show why they'd need to move the stage further towards the grass ramp.

badsandwich Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 (edited) am i right in thinking they've done away with the lovely free-for-all bleachers in mordor? a few of my friends have physical issues (not bad enough to be a full-blown disability, but enough to be a pain in the arse) and being able to sit on seats, not on the ground, was a lifesaver. and quite frankly, i liked being able to sit and watch bands without worrying about being trodden on/in peoples' way. would be a real disappointment if they're vip-only (though i can see vip are having their own issues too!).
