What is funny about it is PRECISELY the piss boiling it inevitably causes every year. Imagine getting raged out at a stranger on the internet highlighting negative weather forecasts. It doesn't actually impact the outcome lads.

That doesn't sound that funny to me, but each to their own.

 

Personally, I don't get 'raged out' by it, just find it very boring.

Horses for courses. Some take joy from it, other are apathetic and some get to see their character flaws laid bare and can go away and work at being better human beings.

You must be so fun at parties, and glasto for that matter. Aware that this an 'act' or 'character' you play each year into the build up but f**k me that must be boring and sad. People's first time on here; bit weird you sitting here all day and pissing on their parade.

it’s ok man, you’re just at stage 2 now. By Wednesday you’ll be at stage 5 along with everyone else. Just enjoy the ride.

😆 - you bugger! Yeah that looks pretty much like it tbh, and for me at least after 8 hours in the dark snake with rain to ensure all my gear is properly  soaked through!

Could be this though!

Mate, it's just the weather, it'll be grand 😂

 

All will be good once you get to the farm, you just might need wellies.

So we're behind schedule then

Amazing. I have a vague recollection at one point I was confidently predicting we'd be back in trainers before the end of the weekend.

I've suppressed majority of memories from that weekend. They return to the surface whenever anyone shares that vid of Jez from WorthyFM tentatively toe-tapping at a patch of grass on site which is clearly floating on about 18 inches of bogwater.

Wasn't there a load of "still time to dry out" merchants that year? 

 

Yeah, the ones who refused to wear arm bands.

    • Maybe hopeful but get Knocked Loose on the Sunday opposite the legend. Similar to the slot Turnstile had in 2022. Would be absolutely phenomenal.
    • One of my personal favourite bands at the minute - MUNA. Was very surprised not to see them booked in 2023 with their last album but hopefully they'll be around next year. Very fun new album from these guys and, as aforementioned, another standout for me at Big Weekend.
    • Absolutely second this. Were great at Big Weekend and already have a great catalogue of songs forming so far. Would love to see them on the farm!
    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today.
