1st day is insane.

Is it the new album in full or has that got lost in translation? 

Think they just mean they'll play songs from it as the album will be out ! lots of the european tours before the release of the album

Only reason to do Cala Mijas would be The Strokes then…

Let’s check flights and hotel for this one!

It's the full album. Would assume they will play some hits after

the second day looks a little barebones in comparison to the first one

Thursday looks so stacked with Blur it can be a lineup on its own.

So would everyone else tbh. Reckon that was the deal breaker for them playing. Should be 45 mins or so of the new album then 45 mins-an hour of hits. Will be good.

Flights are the issue for us. Over 300 quid return from Manchester. Will see if they come down. Just reserved a hotel just in case.

I read both of last years' Kalorama and Cala Mijas threads to gather reviews of the festivals. There weren't many reviews here but it seems that Cala Mijas got better reviews but I like Kalorama lineup better. Any detailed review will be much appreciated, I have to  decide really soon!

I think that’s been lost in translation. The London show is being touted as the only performance of the album in full.

I seek Kalorama review.. Cala Mijas received better reviews last year but this years' lineup is weaker than Kalorama

Understand this is a new festival, but really struggling to find any info or discourse online at all.

Anyone able to share tips/insights/ thoughts from last year?

Don't suppose anyone is going to this solo? Gf broke up with me and don't want to miss out. Line up is decent. Toying with the idea of still going at the moment. Don't think I can face staying in the house.

Go solo, no rules. Have fun

Timetable out . Arcade fire and young fathers slight clash . Will have to figure out which one i will cut short 😞

[DarthSaul]

Metronomy/ Joesef clash sad for me. Arcade fire/ Young Fathers also rubbish 😞 otherwise looking good!

I don't understand why some festivals publishing a schedule only with the start time. It's so annoying!

[DDave]

A straight run of Amyl, M83, YYY, Metronomy, Blur, The Blaze and The Prodigy is as good as you'll find anywhere in Europe this year. Pity the dance stuff doesn't go on a bit later.

[VCF]

MEO and San Miguel do not seem to be clashing for the first two days, but on Sunday Arcade Fire is playing at 23.15 and Pabllo Vittar at 23.55? Surely that's an error?

hope you're right and it isn't that Arcade Fire are doing a short set like their most recent at Something in the Water which was about 40 mins !! Sure its just a mistake or the stages are clashing though. 

[adawonggang]

They're deleted and said they made some mistakes, so worth keeping an eye out for the updated version.

All looks pretty similar.

A lot of Portuguese people going seem livid about how early it's starting and ending on Instagram, but for me this suits perfectly, means I can go out in Lisbon after!

Does seem the anomaly though compared to the other European festivals I've gone to, particularly the Spanish ones.
