Yep, I think it did in 2022. 

Not on the right side they didnt. So are they just doing it on the side that seems to have more foot traffic?

 

really enjoying the "screens at the Park". I think most of us have bigger tv's at home

Rating the Seventeen hunks.

Bloke in the straggly jumper is dabbing up.

Wouldve been hilarious if a squad of people made a flag for each member and confused people walking around as to why theres some  korean dude on a flag lol.

Amazed to hear they did not learn from the mess that was FBS up at Park last year and done the same again with Barry. Makes no sense at all. 

Not gonna learn til theres an incident. Shouldve kept it how it was sunday of 2022. One ways and leave it be

FBS was dangerous last year, that was I think one of the only times at Glasto (one or two dicey pinch points in south west corner aside) that I genuinely felt like we were quite close to a nasty incident. 

 

Having said that, from what I can gather they have clamped down on people getting in without tickets this year so that will of course have eased crowd pressure across the whole site. Even so though, scheduling seems to be a bit of a problem.

To be fair, Barry’s debut album only came out at the end of October, which will have made him much more popular. And I’m assuming they’ll have had the majority of acts already pencilled in, so not easy to move due to increased popularity.

this is the less headachey version of Chappell Roan at every u.s festival post Coachella. And its not easy to move artists either to another stage.

Managed to get a good spot for sugar babes but arrived 40 min before and went along the railway to Avalon then down and back. Even at that point it was busy. 

Haven't seen West Holts that busy since they shut it down for Rolf Harris in 2009.

Guarantee that's there due to the walkway staging. Can't see it being a permanent fixture ...unless the walkway becomes permanent..

Spot on. It's just there for Dua. She wasn't allowed to have a runway so they had to improvise and create a path through the pit. The only way to do that was close off the pit entry on the left side. They then had about 20 stewards come in and shove the crowd back and created a path for Dua and the dancers.

Cannot understand the volume on Greenpeace. It's at a punishing level, you can practically still hear it all the way down the track at Avalon.

I could hear the power ballad yoga in Cockmill.

    • 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. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
