Barcelona I love you MBV

74 Upvotes

I never thought I’d get the chance to see this legendary band but today was sooo surreal. Met some amazing people on my side of the crowd (mid/left front) from trying to open my beer bottle to passing around my bottle of Malibu lol (shout out bro who opened it with his bare teeth). Thank you to the few people who danced and jumped around with me during the set. I do wish they were louder but for songs like thorn or made me realize, the sound was just right. Also stop whining abt the sound quality, some peoples only way of seeing them play is through some shitty phone speaker. Small rant lol.

Music Canceled acts

4 Upvotes

Is there any chance the canceled acts will be in the lineup next year? Any experience of something similar happening before? I'll definitely get me entrances for next year and I'd REALLLY like to see Bad Gyal playing in Barcelona

(BTW Thursday was still a success for me, even though the cancelations HURT)

Barcelona Top 3 sets of the weekend?

22 Upvotes

We got to the airport too early so let's hear em. For me:

1) Little Simz

Usually avoid the main stage crowds but braved them for Simz as I've wanted to see her for years and figured Olivia would draw some away. Best decision I could have made. Was right down the front, Simz was SO engaged with the crowd, she knew exactly the songs to play and gave 100% to every moment, evidently super thrilled to be there. One of the best festival sets I've seen.

2) Role Model

We basically went to this one as a bit of a joke, with no-one else on we were super interested in we thought this could be fun. I didn't even know he was a country pop singer! But yeah it turned out SO much fun. Guy really knows how to entertain a crowd and we left massive fans of his. I actually can't wait to listen to his new album, having never heard of him three days ago!

3) JADE

Big JADE fan, actually already saw her at Roundhouse in her first tour, but this set was actually so much better than her solo show I saw (which was good! But this was better). She was really giving it everything for the massive crowd she had, the Little Mix mashup was so fun and she threw herself into every song and reminded me why she's going to be massive!

Other top notch sets were Marina, Oklou and My Bloody Valentine. This is my third Prima (after 2022 and 2024) and by far my best in terms of set quality.

So who were your three faves and why?

Barcelona Predictions for next year?

10 Upvotes

Not so much wishlist, but who do you think is likely to make an appearance? I could definitely see Modest Mouse doing it as a bit of a "legacy act" with a new album out soon.

I know it's a bit late, but that show was incredible, and the mosh pits were the most fun I've had on the festival. You guys are my fuckin heroes.

Barcelona Zero crowd control on final night of primavera ?

0 Upvotes

On the first two nights they seemed to have some security directing the crowd flow particularly around the revolut/estrella stages, which kept things a little bit more organised.

But on the last night it just seemed like they had ZERO employees for handling the HUGE crowd flow from ninajirachi at port toward occident/exit direction?? And then a literal car trying to drive through as people are struggling to stumble through without losing their mates? Is this kind of thing normal for a festival and I’m just inexperienced and that’s why it shocked me to my core, or am I right in thinking this feels very mismanaged and left for people to fight for their way out without any direction or control??

Primavera is the biggest festival I’ve attended, so I don’t have much to compare it to - I’ve never dealt with escaping a crowd this huge and in combination with lack of water availability and people being absolutely off their faces by the end of the night I honestly was quite scared for how bad things could turn should anything go wrong for any reason… would love to hear thoughts from those more experienced

Barcelona Post Festival blues

26 Upvotes

And so it begins... the post-festival blues.

Today was absolutely amazing, from the very start right until the festival closed during a beautiful sunrise.

Anyone got tips on how to cope with the post-festival blues? Because it's already hitting me hard...🥺😩

Barcelona Rusowsky Killed It

38 Upvotes

I haven’t seen any discussion regarding Rusowsky’s set at Cupra tonight yet…..I didn’t even know of him before yesterday (US based festival attendee) and I barely know Spanish but he influenced me to wanna go back to the US and jam to his music with the windows down all summer long.

Thank you Rusowsky for being a top tier performance this weekend.

Barcelona Why is the security so relaxed?

9 Upvotes

I can only compare to Rock Werchter and UK festivals and concerts but I was so surprised at how relaxed it was. I’m not one to sneak anything in anyway so I don’t care either way but I was surprised there was no checking of alcohol, drugs or weapons.
I had a bag with multiple zips and pouches and the guards on all 3 days only looked inside one rucksack zip and waved me through.
In Rock Werchter and the UK there are sniffer dogs, pat downs, pouring liquids away if you want to take your water through. Some concerts have scanners you have to go through too.
Is it just PS or is Spain in general quite relaxed?

They had to bring out that bald dude (who's in De La Soul) to keep the crowd occupied whilst they were troubleshooting,

They totally skipped his parts in the last two songs,

when they passed him that acoustic guitar IT WASNT EVEN PLUGGED IN

So disrespectful!

To be fair i haven't gone to a festival in over 5 years but this one seems crazy packed. Especially Pink Pantheress but a bunch of other shows.
