I think it's the first time that the smaller stages, especially Pitchfork and Primavera, were much crowded than the mordor ones. Really liked the side-by-side layout, I prefer it to the old one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted June 8 Report Share Posted June 8 Finally feel somewhat human today and the thought of having to do that to myself again this weekend (and then again a week later for Glastonbury…) is making me question what the hell I’m even doing with myself haha. If somebody could create booze and drugs that don’t make you have an existential crisis for a week+ after consumption then that would be just swell.

Really liked the side-by-side layout, I prefer it to the old one I was at Mordor at the beginning of Gorillaz' concert in front of the VIP. It really got dangerous there, people were pushing from all sides, people began to panic and you couldn't move anymore... The other stages were very crowded too (Pitchfork and Ray-Ban) but such a dangerous situation have I seen nowhere else. So many people without any security system is gambling with lifes. Bits section seemed very empty to me each time I was there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These sections have made it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pne094 Posted June 8 Report Share Posted June 8 On our way to Barcelona! Kind of... Our direct flight got changed to a 3 hour transit at Orly about a month ago. Okay, sure no problem. However, we had to make a sudden stop at Schipol today after a person on our flight got heart problems. Hopefully she is fine, she seemed awake and okay when she got helped out of the plane. Fingers crossed. And now our flight from Orly got delayed 3 hours, and I got screaming children on all sides at the airport... Hopefully this is not an indication on things to come during this years Primavera 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohjesus Posted June 8 Report Share Posted June 8 (edited) 1 hour ago, ghostdancer1 said: "forbid" because PS have increased the amount of people at the festival, and so would be using the bridge. VIPs, people with disabilities, staff etc are still using it, so the "new harbour owner forbid PS from using it" line from Gabi is at least partially untrue. I'm sure if it was a smaller festival, as it used to be, the bridge would still be in use for all. I'd be far more confident that the real reason is Health & Safety assessments determined that the crowd sizes will be too big. yeh was just repeating what the great gabi claimed really Edited June 8 by Ohjesus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slix_Trix Posted June 8 Report Share Posted June 8 Hey! Sorry if it's been asked (I tried searching previous pages) but how secure is having a DICE ticket for Phoenix tonight? I have friends that are totally put off by queueing for doors opening when they only want to see Phoenix tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a similar situation, have dice tickets but have no Intetest in seeing the first 2 acts, would we still have a reasonable chance getting in after the music has started rather than going at doors and waiting 2/3 hours for ride to start. Completely gave up on the city shows after the chaos of sunday until tonight. On the plus side managed to grab tickets for thindercat/nas/rhcp yesterday all of which where incredible.

I messaged razz on instagram who said as a ticket holder I would have guaranteed entry and could come whenever, if there’s any issues I’ll just be showing them that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeppelin Posted June 8 Report Share Posted June 8 Just landed back in the UK after an amazing week. The bars on the first day were outrageous but had no real impact on our enjoyment and then were obviously much better for the next two days. Probably my top 5 acts: The National Gorillaz Beck Caribou DJ Shadow Honourable mentions for Disclosure, Fred Again..., Dinosaur Jr and Les Savy Fav. I did my classic of forgetting how much the heat impacts my appetite and didn't eat well at all. Which, coupled with the amount of lager drank, put me in a precarious position a couple of times. Weirdly, and I know this won't be an opinion shared by many people, I think the stages could do with one less act and more time between them. It was always more of a rush to go to the toilet/bar/food stalls between things than I like. We were staying basically on the beach so got my fill there. And then finished the holiday by seeing the Red Hot Chili Peppers last night and, just wow! They were on absolute fire and the crowd was really going for it. Incredibly loud for a stadium gig as well. I'd definitely go back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crowd management is invisible this year. This was the worst thing for me. People pushing to the back and from the back to the front at the same time at the same place...

ConfidenceMan Posted June 8 Report Share Posted June 8 My top 5 from weekend 1... - Fred Again.., Beach House, The National, Jamie xx, Idles I think. I could easily change that again shortly. I didn't have any major disappointments on a musical sense, luckily. Wet Leg wasn't amazing, I didn't enjoy Gorillaz but that was just down to my crowd experience, not the band. But those are pretty mild complaints in the grand scheme of things. Few pics turning up on my socials of friends landing for weekend 2. Im getting v jealous again.
