[paulomas]

just booked tickets for this. is this the first year its been in portugal? whats the nearest airport and stuff? hoping it's gonna be an amazing weekend. staying for a week in an apartment. cant believe the festival is only £75 for the 4 days

[paulomas]

for anyone looking into flights for this, i just got a return from gatwick to the airport near the festival for £95 on lastminute.com leaving/departing in the afternoon. bargain!

I do wonder if the lineup is complete... no new announcements for a while.

Its only really three days. There is a fourth day but i'm not sure its a proper day of the festival.

For 75E surely Bjork and Death Cab can be headliners? And Primavera isnt really a festival that has had 'headliners' anyway?

The line up is most definitely not complete! There's going to be a press conference in the next couple of days/weeks where the rest of it will be confirmed.

All those bands are just for Barca atm, however in the Porto press conference, I'm hoping some are announced to be playing both!

[fitzyp]

I'm hoping the rapture, erol alkan, the field, aeroplane and refused get added to Porto then it'd be a good gamble that paid off. UNLIKE fucking sonar, who haven't even released anything yet and I bought my ticket ages ago. Anybody know when the Porto press conference will be? Nothing has been advertised and they made a big deal out of the Barcelona one.

[duncan123]

They said in a couple of days earlier this week, but I saw another post saying it will be in around 2 weeks. Kinda frustrating really! They've said they'll post on twitter/fb when it's gonna be so it's probably worth getting them on there so you can keep up to date.

Such a good line up, can't believe it only cost me £60 for a ticket. So excited!

Thursday: Suede, The Rapture, The Drums.

Friday: M83, Flaming Lips, The Walkmen.

Saturday" Spiritualized, St. Etienne, Death Cab, The XX, Bjork.

Why Rufus Wainwright is allowed to play anywhere though. Sad times.

[duncan123]

Kinda gutted about Codeine v Flips and M83 v Thee oh Sees, but apart from that everything else I want to see works out pretty well! Such a good line up :-)

[paulomas]

flying out 3 weeks today, so excited. 29 degrees there tomorrow, i hope it's like that over the festival. fuck the weather in england at the moment

[duncan123]

Yeah man, that kind of weather would be awesome! Does anyone know is all the stages are out doors? Hopefully they are, watching bands in the sun is the best.

Also does anyone have any idea how to get back into town after the music finishes? From what I can tell, the festival site is a bit out of the centre (where my accommodation is anyway), so I'm worried it may be a bit of a challenge getting back after the music finishes!

http://www.optimusprimaverasound.com/pso/images/3d2.jpg that is the layout of the festival, it looks like all stages are outside. stage 2 and 3 look worryingly close to each other, let's hope the sound doesn't clash.

no idea about the journey back into town i'm afraid. we got lucky and got an apartment that is about a 10 minute walk from the park and also next to the beach. it'll be perfect for the festival days, and then on the other days we'll have to get the metro into the city centre if we wanna go sight seeing or go out at night

[Olivedal 1904]

Yes, all the stages are outdoors, except for the events on the Sunday of course.

There won't be any sound bleed between stage 2 (Primavera Stage) and 3 (Optimus Stage) since the stage times are alternating and never overlap.

Looks like stage 1 (ATP Stage) is placed in a slope which will probably make for a really good view for the audience.
