Not sure what or where to suggest, but Thursday is another groups meet, which is an organised affair, with a bit of low key music too. This normally takes place at dirty davey's. 

So we could tag into that or choose elsewhere, dunno how many from here are attending/working. Also, for whatever reason, I can't recall if all the bars are open on Thursday! 

All things being equal, we shall be in attendance though (but I can be a little flighty/quiet for meets)

Don’t stress it … it should be like the rest of the festival … just with a few familiar or maybe not quite so familiar names  and the odd drink if that’s your thing … I’d say we have decent numbers for a meet … if u don’t feel it at the time no issue 🙂

Will depend on the little one, but I’m keen to come along. 

I think my friend might be with me with his daughter around 8years old … he might not though I’m sure I’ll bump into you at some point anyway 🙂

I’m up for it too. Pretty sure the bars are open on Thursday, but can’t remember the names of them, only the locations! 
There’s a decent sized bar just into the field with the big top in it. Close to lots of food stalls, not too far from the kids area. Could be ideal?

Sounds perfect 🙂 I’m sure someone will know 🙂 I’m not imagining a huge site anyway 🙂

That’s a bloody weird map does a river run through the site ? 

2 streams, as mentioned, with light displays between then. Often buskers on the pathway too, like hobos and barsteward sons in the past. Bizarrely also used to be the Cv field/car park many moons ago!

Yeah that could be it. The one by the words Arena 2 on the map. Great location for lots of food too!

That's the one, but for the life of me, I can't recall if that one opens on Thursday.

This is a good aerial picture. Car parks and campsites in the foreground, green strip in the middle where the river is, main arena at in the background 👍

Oooh the site maps make this feel even more real 🙂 so where do you all camp? And is their an option of which car park to use?

Look forward to seeing this year's map, though I doubt much will change (miss the stage in redwoods), car parking is just where they send you (normally in the past)

We ended up in the bar by the main stage on the Thursday in 2018.  Cocktails and a DJ, great fun.

Either way I'll be up for a meet of sorts!

Good stuff that might mean a decision needs to be made … sounds good though 🙂

If there is a usual plan I’m happy to go with it 🙂 … or we could end up with meets all over the site 🙂

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • 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.
