Pinkpantheress will more than likely shut down the Levels and the immediate area on Thursday

The most likely mentioned so far. 
 

Prodigy will be crowded but not a shut down. 
 

Acts that should shut down areas is a different story

Only because she's playing on Thursday on a relatively small stage. It's quite a strange booking, tbh. I'm wondering if she'll be playing elsewhere over the weekend. 

 

The only other potential one is Charli, which has become this year's eFests' cliche, and probably the reason for the creation of this thread. My immediate reaction was it'll be Avril busy but I think there should be enough on elsewhere to spread out the crowds. We'll see.

 

Apart from those two, from everything announced so far, it should be ok.

Thursday always has a few bookings who cause mayhem. 

Skream and Benga and Bicep last year were crazy. 
 

Think it’s impossible to avoid tbh. People are hungry to dance.

Yeah i mean you get Thursday crowds because the options are limited.

 

Then you get weekend crowds because they’ve booked someone who is too big for the stage they’re on.

 

Haven’t spotted any obvious bookings that fall into the latter so far

Con Man x Job Jobse on Levels thursday is going to be absolutely hectic. Con Man will bring people less into DJs in while Job Jobse is a festival favourite and a fairly big name on his own.

 

Some areas are just rammed every night though - Levels will be no better this year than last unless they have seen sense and expanded it a bit!

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • 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.
