Timetable on hold to find out if Barcelona will be in the Champions League Final as that will be on the Saturday (semi-final match is tonight). If Barcelona play they'll be shifting everything around to avoid any big bands clashing and dedicating a stage to showing the match. Personally hoping it doesn't happen as I was there for a Barcelona win in 2008 and it was chaos.

Edit: They're hoping Friday specifically for timetables.

Toast, you were not there for a Barca win in 2008 as MUFC won it in Moscow that year.

Toast

You're right. It was 2009.

It was crazy in town. Friends narrowly got out of the place Espanya before the riot police cordoned off the area.

Nice to see that the natives in that photo are pro gay

Remember it well, we were battered that night, dusted myself down and saw OFWGKTA and Holy Ghost play later that night which raised the spirits.

Is the map on the website correct? ATP has shifted from its usual great spot which is a bummer.

lordgoat

Clashes already.

Postal Service Vs Killer Mike

SMD Vs Phoenix Vs Death Grips


There is a nice run of Four Tet - Animal Collective - Talabot ... First metro home

dublinkeith

The long walk out to that Heineken is deffo gonna influence the acts I'm not too pushed on, so it's Killer Mike and Death Grips for me there man

Yup from my google translated readings of the main forum they're going to hopefully have a lot more work on the more wastelandy parts where the Mini Stage was last year. This was a pic of the area as they setup the stage last time. Judging by the map they're expanding to use all that wasteland. http://www.theyatecobainsbrain.com/images/image026.jpg.

I'll miss the steps at ATP for viewing purposes but I'm hoping the views will be pretty cool with the city in the background etc. in the new location. Also ATP had to grow up I think. It was always too jammers there when something popular was on.

dublinkeith

And Gabi said Vice is moving there as well. Could be a bit much having three stages on that beach

Toast

I'd have thought that map is final. Dunno why they could stick Vice into the old ATP spot if they had to move it.

ah man, neko case and savages on at the same time, and so it begins, f*ck. Sorry I must be blind but can someone direct me to the map?

beansybeansy

No clashes for me during Tame Impala but then have clashes for:

Bob Mould V Postal Service (damn my electic tastes)
Simian Mobile Disco & Phoenix

Will have to haul ass a couple of times that night but then shall be milling around for Four Tet, John Talabot and Animal collective.

Add in a diesel burger and beer, it looks like it will be a corker of a Thursday night

Friday up. The Knife at 3am!

dublinkeith

Just got word from Gabi, Vice stays where it is.

grudgehugger

Can some folk who've been before give some kind of realistic estimate for the time it'll take to go between the Heineken and Primavera stages?

Friday night already has some evil clashes, and that's before I start thinking about the hike out to see either Blur or Goat and when I'll need to leave them to get back in time to have any sort of decent view of The Knife...

I think I am deep in the land of the First World Problem.

Toast

You could do the journey in 10 minutes but when you factor in people, booze, toilets, etc it can add up. Hard to describe the deliberateness of the festival but it is unlike anything else I've encountered with the proper surfaces and no mud. It is really hard to even get a feel for it with photos if you've not been there as flickr streams concentrate on the bands and not the place. I'll throw together a collection of my own photos which I took with the intention of showing off the place in the next day or two to give first timers an idea as it was a source of frustration trying to find something similar when I was in the same boat.

You'll have plenty of time to go for a stroll if you get there early ish, which is what i'd recommend and soak in the atmosphere.

As Toast said it's quite different to other festivals.

If you are in Barca on the Wed make sure you collect your wristband, it'll save alot of time on the thurs.

Oh and make sure you pace yourself. 5am finishes oh ya...


Less than a month!!

dublinkeith

If you're leaving Heineken along with hundreds of others and walking in the same direction to Primavera stage, give it 15 mins

While this is my first primavera, me and himself worked in the city for a couple of months in 2008 so am grand for getting around and gave booked a flat in villa olimpico so well sorted gor the festival
l will be at the flat on the Weds at 9pm. Will the ticket office still be open at that time or should I get down on the thursday afternoon?

Would really appreciate the benefit of a seasoned goer

dublinkeith

The gigs in the Forum are free for all on the Wed so they may not be giving out wristbands until Thursday. I've gone down on the Thursday afternoon in previous years and gotten the wristband without queuing. You don't want to be trying that after 6pm.

sweetie

so jealous im missing it this year....enjoy peeps!

You might be correct. I've just assumed that you can get them on the wed like previous years!

beansybeansy

Starting to get a bit excited. next 24 days are gonna draaaaaag

beansybeansy

The Saturday line up and stages times are up. Clashes for me are dexys v band of horses v dead can dance but in good news, have a clear run at Nick Cave and My Bloody Valentine. Looks like we are "Go", lads

dublinkeith

Yeh, but they've changed the timetables on thurs and fri so Swans and Killer Mike are gone for me, Swans/Blur/Glass Candy/ How to dress Well. Bastards.

Bugger, didnt look at thursday and friday. Now have a Bob Mould v Deerhunter problem but am good for john talabot so thats ok.

Have the same clash as you friday with local natives v jesus & mary chain being a terrible clash. Still the Knife is clear. Think ill be doing alot of running!

dublinkeith

Guess the options are to either see the ones you miss at EP or at their own shows. Better get the tix for Swans Thee oh Sees and ****ed Up now. Pain.Whats John Talabot like?

I've no accommodation booked yet, am I screwed? Anyone got any recommendations?

dublinkeith

What's your budget?
