Hi.

I have heard that Arcadia holds a Spider rehearsal before the main event, do any of you regulars know when it is? Is it on a particular day and time? Or would the stage crew there tell me if I asked them? Thanks xx

You can see the fire and hear the whoosh from East Campervan fields, can't remember what if it's Wednesday or Thursday or both though!

I haven't been there since 2019 so the memory of what day has faded! Back there in E21 Accessible forward campervan area this year after staying in Spring Ground last year! I missed the views!

Last year there was some stuff on the thurs night but mainly testing fire and the lights and sound  but the acrobat that floated in the air was practising as well. TBH there wasnt much of a show last year compared to previous years.

This is what I was going to say. Last time there was a 'proper' show with the Lords of Lightning, choreographed flying artists etc was 2017.

Don't they do a couple of little practises? Feel like I've been sat in East CV fields a couple of times and gone "ooo there goes Arcadia"

It depends on what the show is, last year there was no show. If you head over on the Thurs evening they will be testing whatever they are doing this year 🙂

    • 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...
    • Same. Shower and back out in a taxi!
