My clashes are Beck/Pixies and Keane/Kacey Musgraves. Definitely no clashes on Saturday!

Yeah, forgot about this one. But I'll stick with Pixies to the end and then I'll go to see Beck

One nice surprise from this is that Kennyhoopla fits nicely between Phoebe and Bicep on Saturday. 5 acts rather than 4, what a blessing! 

If anyone else is struggling that day I suggest you check him out because you might be surprised, it's somewhere between indie and pop-punk. Did an album with Travis Barker.

For my Festileaks people. Stacked was Werchter in general, including day events. And with Qotsa, FNM, The Streets… and some others who cancelled 😳
 

Every festival was losing some important names, that is why a couple of names moved from RW to Cactus or the wait for Dour.

As they are usually announce names on Friday, I guess we could have the announcement of their surprise (second TW Classic or Werchter Boutique) on Friday 4pm! 

I don't have lot of clashes. Really disappointed for Royal Blood vs Jimmy Eat WorldBeck vs Pixies is a bit sad too. And same for Lewis Capaldi vs Sam Fender.

So you'll tell us the surprise already to make up for it? 🤩

Glad I'm going to Primavera so the IDLES/Turnstile Beck/Pixies clashes don't affect me - biggest loss for me is Moderat, real shame but there's absolutely no chance I'm not at Metallica. 

Need to listen to the following to fill in some blank spaces, if anyone wants to get behind any recommendations:

Gang of youths VS The Dead South

RHEA VS Miles Kane

Goldband VS Pitou

Poorstacy VS LP

I´m seeing whole of Beck´s show but only because I already seen Pixies 2 times;) 

Saw Beck only once in 2008 (Werchter had TWO stages back then) and I have NEVER seen Pixies. It's manageable, but since I NEED to hear "Where is my mind?" I'll travel to The Barn after Pixies end their set

I was there in 2008 too actually but missed the last day (and therefore missed Beck). 

Pixies are great live so I understand your priority.

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
