woh woh woh, lets not be thowing shade at the dj coco closing party! its a god damn tradition at this point and one i unashamedly love!

My gripe is that Overmono is in the wrong location (and timeslot). From my POV, Coco can play Mordor! 

[SwallowOrSleepOnTheWetSpot]

Overmono going into DJ Coco on Cupra would have been so much cooler. Fuck CDW.

On that Saturday 5am weekend closing slot, Really annoying that Overmono are scheduled to play at the Plentitude stage while DJ Coco is at Cupra. I know that's the tradition but - sorry for being controversial - he's a lousy dj while the Overmono show will be a big event (new album is terrific) and I want to believe will pull a big crowd. Cupra stage would've been the perfect stage for this. 

It's plenitude for a lot of the stuff I want to see this year (unwound, liturgy, overmono...) or stuff I would have maybe considered must see if it wasn't there (pinkpantheress, hudmo...) and I find it disappointing. Last year caroline polachek and black midi worked there (but black midi was way too crowded) but earl sweatshirt wasn't really great imo in that setting.  It's by far the worst imo, both in terms of vibe and of acoustic. I wonder if they chose to put less popular acts at cupra because of safety

Always impossible to plan how you'll feel in the moment but trying to predict the surges of energy entering and leaving my body on that Saturday night feels hard to predict. 

Will the two hour gap send me to bed or to the bar? Who knows...

Death Grips into JPEGMAFIA into Overmono is a seriously hectic sequence.

Cupra was weirdly over crowded last year for a lot of acts, even acts I wouldn’t have thought would have filled it.

 

Also I missed it but my friends said they someone fall down the steps and crack their skill and had paramedics take them away?

1h15 Coco slot this year, by the way, way too short !

If any company set up sleeping pods they could make some good money off me.

4pm to 7am is punishing.

we've got a start up

[jannybruck]

Overmono is overrated Bicep-lite who've just released an exeptionally weak album, and Coco is a Primavera legend. He deserves that Cupra slot every single year for the rest of his life.

Is that something you regularly do? Last year was the first time I've really done the 5pm to 6am gauntlet and I loved it. But I think I was running on post-covid adrenaline. Is it realistic to do all 3 days?

Anyone planning on seeing Turnstile and then head to Auditori for Boris after that?

I have never gone to Auditori that late, any prediction if it will get full for Boris?

Me but I am prepared to check the auditorium and then leave for something else if it’s full. Last year it was always full but the shows were earlier

Makes sense. For me the alternative to Boris would be to run over to Dice stage and catch last few songs of Off!

And then Pinkpantheress to pass time waiting for Amenra.

Dj Coco It is the worst possible closure for Primavera Sound. Bad DJ, bad selection of songs, and he's only there because he works at the festival. Overmono are ok, they are not great, but Dj Coco c'mon. 

[BA_Barrabus]

Anything of note from the q&a?

Me too.  I went in for Tim Hecker around the same time a few years back as Rosalia was coming on, I was walking against what felt like half of Barcelona entering the site, but the Auditori at that time had loads of space.

[xxialac]

Not expecting auditori to be too busy this year.

Is a huge space, no major names playing and shows are on before a lot of people arrive.

Hmm, I called that wrong. Seems like a mistake to me, given the demand will surely be bigger than in the history of the festival.

Surely with the registration for access ticket they can restrict numbers to prevent overcrowding
