    It's a pretty amazing line up.

    Yeah it's solid. I think it bests the lineups of the last two years.

    What's the story with PJ Harvey live these days, does she play with a band or solo or what?

    The line up has got even better, think I'll have to go. If I can sort out good accomodation first I'll make a booking.

    Thinking of going to this but haven't been before. So there's no camping at all? You just stay somewhere nearby?

    I was at this fest last year but didn't book the apartment. A heads up on that 5 star for 70 would be great. Fancy splashing out:)

    Strongly considering going to this, it will be my first festival so some questions to get my friends interested.
    1) Do you have to get an apartment yeah?No camping type thing no?
    2) Are the two venues far from each other?
    Thought I'd have more questions, oh well.

    You need an apartment. The second venue wasn't operating last year but Google puts it at a 9km drive. I've been in the area before and it with metros and everything it is a good 30 to 40 mins away.

    Just booked my ticket! Was at Sziget 2 years ago and I really loved it, European festivals in the sun are the way to go after experiencing mud and rain at EP and Oxegen. Never been to Primavera though, I was thinking of just slumming it and booking a hostel as opposed to a 5-star hotel... anyone ever done that before and any recommendations on places close by?
    Girl Talk swung it for me... can't wait to see Greg Gillis live!! Not to mention Animal Collective, The Flaming Lips, Grinderman, PJ Harvey, Fleet Foxes, Mercury Rev...
    Oh wow :)

    sorry, I'm just as homeless as you are that night! If in the meantime I stumble across a spare couch, you'll be the first to know.

    Been to both, didn't Camp at Benicassim so can't give you the overall feel of it. We stayed in Valencia and got a €5 bus home each night/morning. Valencia/Benicassim was great. It was nice and small between all the sages and loads of grassy parts to sit and laze around at. Vibe was good all around but there was a lot of druggy/scummy types around outside, snorting coke and shooting up as we left.

    Primavera was great last year. It's a bigger set up than Benicassim and more concrete but there's a lot more on offer there, more stages including and indoor theatre. It's in the city so not far away from where you'd be staying but you wouldn't want to get stuck without a bus or taxi depending where you are as it can be a long walk home.

    They were supposed to show it at one of the preshows two years ago, but didn't in the end. Think it was some sort of rights issue.

    If Barcelona are in it, I'm sure they'll have big screens up in the city. In 09, they had them down by the harbour. It was good fun down there, but the crowd was far too big for the area. I was quite worried during it that there'd be a crush. The city went mad after it with cops firing rubber bullets and stuff getting smashed up. Pickpocketers were out in force that night too, so be careful.

    Looking at their forum, there is basically no chance of them showing the final on big screen due as earlier poster states to licensing problems, pity that the final is going to clash with the fest

    I booked into a hostel for the festival- no 4-star hotels for me sadly! Its called the Be Hostel Sound (or something to that effect), anyone know it? Or have any thoughts/advice on spanish hostels in general? I've heard not-so-good reports but I've hostelled a lot in Europe and elsewhere so hopefully can't be TOO bad... tips much appreciated!

    There is a bar directly opposite the site but I would imagine it'll be jam packed. You'd want to get there early!
