Just watching some footage on iPlayer at home... Have they cut lots of bits? I feel like Sam Fender has a lot of his moments where he was talking to the crowd cut from the upload. Also there seems to be sets missing. I can't find Charli XCX or Confidence Man for some reason.

If you can’t find sets then try searching for them instead of going through the whole list - that’s how I found Confidence Man after briefly worrying that it hadn’t been filmed (and it’s just as good on TV as it was whilst there - what a fun act).

Yeah I did a search for Charli but it's not showing it for me. Strange. I'm sure it'll turn up

yeah iconic moment, find it weird that they cut it from iplayer but uploaded it to youtube, at least it is available somewhere I guess!

I think they know the youtube hits are more important because everyones going to be able to access that and at least they gave into doing this for once instead of holding back. Still stupid to not have an entire intact performance.

yeah true, makes sense about Youtube being more accessible, just a bit of a buzzkill it being missing from the overall set!

I think it's just a really easy thing not to do, and if somebody tells me they'd prefer me to not do it, that's that. I wouldn't say the slur so I won't sing it either.

Can't wait to get stuck into the coverage tomorrow, not sure if I want to relive Foals or watch Billie who we missed as a result.

Didn't realise BBC decided to censor Olivia Rodrigo's performance and cut out the whole speech/song with Lily Allen from the set uploaded to iplayer, pretty spineless of them

They cut it out? That's awful. Maybe bleep the fucks if it's broadcast in the daytime, but everyone should be allowed to say what they want.

Bit gutted about that - she was my headliner choice for Sunday, but I physically wasn't up to it, so went to the Cabaret tent instead.

Me too. My girlfriend's family watched it at home so it was definitely all recorded. They spotted us on TV a lot apparently!

Been watching some of the sets today and I've got to say this seems like some of the worst coverage the BBC has done. It's bad enough that Charli is missing, but they seem to have cut little bits of sets out.

The Olivia Rodrigo bit seems to be well documented as well, but watching Sam Fender and Confidence Man, it seems like they've cut little bits out where the artists were interacting with the crowd or just the short breaks between songs. Feels so unnecessary to me.

Ok, so got back yesterday and knackered after the 5 hour driver had to have some recoup time. Off now from work until the 5th so now i can wallow in the 3 days music that was. I've gone through the acts on the televised stages and will watch those i missed because of clashes and those i watched. I've counted 30, so will keep me occupied. I think it might just reaffirm my love for the place. What i love when watching these back are the crowd reactions, full of enjoyment. How could you not want to be a part of it.

Are they missing the day by day highlights or am I not looking hard enough for them? We've got Thursday highlights, but theres usually one per day isn't there? 

The Billie show under TV section has a lot of that days stuff on it as well.

    • Having done all three, Porto is lovely, very chilled but nowhere near as exciting as Barcelona (nor as many options). Bilbao BBK has charm but again not a patch on Barcelona really.   ps and the beer was 5.50, not 5, last year 😉 
    • Honest question and with the risk of getting slaughtered, do you feel people should stop the chatting on the entire field? When my group is in the front rows we surely keep the talking to a minimum and largely only about how great or bad the artist is. But surely on the main field when you are further back (lets say around the bars (200 meters from the podium) you should be able to have a conversation. If people are still annoyed about that I would recommend them moving up further.
    • I just genuinely think they don't understand technology and its felt like this since the invention of the internet.   Also see say a speech on a Monday saying we want to be a world leader in "this thing" then on a Wednesday another speech saying "this thing" is bad and needs to be banned/regulated out of existance.
    • My party again had an outstanding 4 days in Barca. We made the right call to leave the festival site early at about 10.30 on Thursday to get ourselves some excellent steaks in the city. I am with everyone that the organization should have been clearer about what is going on and also if you would like to get rid of some attendees open more exits, they sent us from gate to gate until we finally were able to get out. Biggest 'disappointment' was the beer price, a YoY increase from 5 to 6 is absolutely nuts!!! (i am living in Switzerland so me making this comment says something 🙂)   Top 10:   1. Men I Trust 2. Role Model (could have been first as well, what a great artist and great songs) 3. The XX 4. The cure (the last 90 minutes) 5. Gorillaz 6. MBV 7. Ninajirachi (another big miss of the organization, clearly on the wrong podium and wonder if Olivia's surprise set had something to do with that and they had to reschuffle late the Occident, Cupra and Port schedules) 8. NewDad 9. Big Thief 10. Annastashia      We did 3 years Barca now and for next year looking at the Porto or Bilbao festivals as an option. 
    • Personally if it was me now, I would be grabbing a green camping ticket with the knowledge closer when I've refreshed that I can still choose general if I want to....you can't do the opposite!    I would say if you are happy to watch your headliners and big bands further back to be able to see who you actually plan to later then yes it is fine. Its a much difference experience to any other festival especially food wise and camping surrounds.    Once you're in the arena as well you're not going back unless you've got a gap. If I go again I'll be going with the option of not trying to push the front and enjoying further back as you actually put too much pressure on it than the time take away can forget to enjoy other acts.
