FRIDAY

KAISER CHIEFS - Fun end to the first day

N.E.R.D. - Good to have a boogie to and a few pints

KT TUNSTALL - Meh

THE HOOSIERS - I'd like to say I'd be sitting in the sun listening to these guys but will need to be in the Strongbow Tent for my sanity. Utter pap.

JOE LEAN AND THE JING JANG JONG - Heard a lot of good things and like the sound of what I've heard so far

THE ANSWER - Dunno em yet, but heard some positive murmurs

SATURDAY

SEX PISTOLS - Interesting...Could be amazing or dogs**t. Or a bit of a weird non-event. Expecting the latter.

IAN BROWN - Can't wait - one of the best festival acts around, especially if he liberally sprinkles some Roses tracks...

IGGY & THE STOOGES - Awesome energy - gonna get the beers in and get psyched for King Monkey watching these.

THE ZUTONS - Probably the most fun you can have at a festival. Top.

THE ENEMY - Again, can't wait. One of the best new bands about.

KATE NASH - Guff when I saw her last, but perfect for sitting off in the sun to.

TBC

AMY MACDONALD - Heard good things

BLACK STONE CHERRY - ?

LOCAL BAND TBC

SUNDAY

THE POLICE - Awesome at Twickenham.

THE KOOKS - Would liek better if I hadn't had Naive rammed down my throat for three years. And it's better than Keane in this slot...

LILY ALLEN - Get well soon - another one will be cool sitting off in the evening sun with some bevvies.

JAMES - Looking forward to these guys. Hugely underrated - it's not all about Sit Down

STARSAILOR - Ace at V a few years back - perfect time for them to be on as well.

SCOUTING FOR GIRLS - Oh my god. The ACTUAL sh*ttest band in the world. EVER. Apart from maybe Hard-Fi. And the Feeling.

NEWTON FAULKNER - Pretty inoffensive

DELAYS - Not fussed

LOCAL BAND TBC

Looks like we have 3 more acts to be announced

Welp, just listened to Newton Faulkner's album and all I can say is zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. I gave him a chance but he came over as mediocre, all of the tracks just seemed to meld into one long song.

Next on the new list....Starsailor, will let y'all know.

BTW who will be joining me for Mojitos in the Bacardi bar when the Kooks are on? They were sh*t in the mid-afternoon slot in '06 and they're still gonna be sh*t in an early evening slot.

    • 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
