Thursday SE Corner question

I would maybe suggest ditching your no queueing policy! Its not as bad as it was ten years ago and once you're in its not too bad in terms of going venue to venue (except for those that are rammed). 

As mentioned though Thursday will probably be the busiest night so I'd either go early or be prepared to queue.

Question is whether NYC Downlow opens quietly on the Weds and there certainly wont be a queue for that.

It was definitely open on the Wednesday in 2019 as we went, can’t remember if it was listed on the apps that year.

I think we went on the Wednesday in 2017 and it closed around 2. Was impacted by the sound limits they have on Wednesday and there wasn't much of an atmosphere vs the other nights either.

I doubt it. Seems more of a if you know you know. Im ok with that as it saves some trouble to queue or get to it early

Never had an issue getting in there on Thursday. As said above, people are generally trickling in and out across the evening and not all flooding in at once. Queues can build up for specific venues and bars (NYC Downlow) but getting in the area generally hasn’t been an issue for on Thursday.

It will be busy in there , but I think because there is more of a steady trickle of people going in at different times , rather than a mad dash post headliners , there shouldn’t be the mega snake building at the entry point

different individual venues in the SE corner may be super rammo tho. But I don’t think you will struggle to get into the general SE corner area

    • 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...
