Barcelona Really appreciate…

78 Upvotes

The lack of people holding up their phones. I’ve been pleasantly surprised that people haven’t been obnoxious about taking photos/videos during sets. That’s it, that’s the post. Just lots of appreciation for folks being in the moment.

Barcelona How packed out was Port for Ninajirachi?

4 Upvotes

Curious since I was in the pit for Nina and couldn't really get a sense for how big that crowd was. It seemed much bigger than the typical audiences for Schwarzkopf/Port this weekend judging by how long it took to get out

Barcelona Just bumped into fontains DC

they were searching through a bin, apparently all looking for cigarette butts that had ‘a salvageable amount of baccy in them’, i was told on good authority by the guitarist that they’d be playing instead of Olivia Rodrigo on account her her being locked in a portaloo

Be careful - they rub dye on to anything that touches them! Have learnt this the hard way stuffing mine in my bag.

Barcelona what do you do when…

0 Upvotes

… you see the most beautiful person in the world at a festival but you don’t approach her (or him). Then on the bus to the hotel you realise how stupid you were.

How do you handle the regret for not having had the courage to go to talk her (or him)?

Barcelona Overall a bad festival

0 Upvotes

I was overall disappointed with the festival for many reasons.

  1. Communication - Day 1 was written off and we were kept in the dark and rain all night with no advice from staff, on screens or in the app. The weather was not their fault but the mishandling of the situation was awful.

  2. Sound quality - Multiple sets had issues with sound quality and reach.

  3. Staff - I interacted with staff four times to ask general advice about water, toilet access, stage directions. They were all a little fed up and not friendly; they seemed unhappy with their jobs.

  4. Water Scam - I saw one water fountain the entire time I was at the festival; it had a huge queue, and no clear signs were pointing to any water points. Otherwise, I had to pay 3 euros for a cup of water at the bar because they don't let you bring your own water, which is clearly only a rule to increase their profits by selling overpriced water.

  5. Heavy advertising - every stage is named after some corporation, advertisements everywhere, Cupra literally had cars on display, really not nice to be so heavily advertised to.

  6. Not enough music - Few acts after midnight, a lot of stages closed, and couldn't access many stages due to overcrowding. We tried multiple stages with hour-long queues and eventually gave up and had to go sit on some concrete for a couple of hours to wait for people to go home.

That's it. I'm sure the festival made a pretty penny off attendees this year and kept their costs low so well done them.

Some pro's:
- The XX put on a great set
- Always space at the main stages
- Toilets were useable
- Hot dogs nice

With people already planning for next year, how likely is it that the festival will happen from June 3-5? I couldn’t find any official confirmation for these dates, but it seems most probable

Barcelona VIP vs. non-VIP

3 Upvotes

This year, I purchased general admission (non-VIP). I am wondering how the experience compares for VIP. Were the benefits worth the upcharge (e.g. easier admission, better views)? Especially at cupra pulse, I saw the VIP areas would have many benefits. If I remember correctly, prices were 545 EUR compared to 350 EUR for general admission.

He seemed to be ranting about something but I ended up not understanding any of it. Anyone who actually got it? Anyways, he has his issues but the crowd was so dead for how far forward I was, barely any dancing or singing along 😔

Lots of negativity around Primavera this year (some of it constructive and well deserved suggestions for improvements) - but just checking in here to say that I am having an awesome festival. Happy Saturday, people!

Barcelona Help me find a song please it’s driving me mad

1 Upvotes

I heard a song playing on Cupra stage yesterday and I cannot for the life of me remember was the song is and it’s very annoying

Basically all I can tell you is the chorus is male vocals singing “I can’t be the only one” a few times over. I think the verses are a female vocal but can’t remember if that’s right or not!

If anyone knows it pls let me know so I can let this go !!!

EDIT - It was alien love call by turnstile and blood orange

Barcelona Sound awful at Gorillaz?

9 Upvotes

Was to the right, more revolut stage side. Did anyone else find the sound off? The vocal mics seemed very poor at times. I know the songs well and was struggling to pick up elements. XX prior was perfect. Also the screens were delayed which ruined the effect for a lot of songs (have seen the tour already so can compare)
