Not sure if anyone mentioned it, but Air are self-confirmed for Porto.

[sziw]

They were officially confirmed by the festival too.

Was thinking of going to this years Festival, needing a bit of advise.

What are the start and finish times and also is public transport available and easy to use for going to the event?

it starts around 15.30-16.00 and finishes around 05.30-06.00

there is metro just outside (i think metro station 'el maresme'), but it stops i think after midnight (i'm not sure about specific time).

on Saturday is open all night

Jagwar Ma added to Nos and BBK. They're on tour all over with Tame Impala so hopefully will be a late addition. Great band.

[weston24]

Jagwar Ma played on the Ray-Ban in a good slot in 2014, doubt they'd be back so soon.

That would be really great. Jagwar Ma would be a great addition

i agree that i dont see Jaguar Ma returning so early, but it will be a good addition.

But, lets be honest..Do we need more additions? Im already worried enough about artists that i 'll lose..

and just to give an example.. (and read some opinions also)

 

what would you choose in a hypothetical clash on Thursday, between SUEDE's Night thoughts (Auditori probably) and EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY ?

 

[yaniv297]

Clashes are going to be a nightmare... I can already see Deerhunter playing Rayban/ATP stage, clashing with PJ Harvey/Sigur Ros/Brian Wilson...

 

Animal Collective or Dinasour Jr. VS Radiohead also seems very likely.

i totally feel you.. i m afraid i have to put out of my list Animal Co and Dinosaur JR

[weston24]

I hope that not all the hip hop is going to clash with headliners, as it's not normally on until after 11.

Hard to see Vince Staples not clashing with either Tame Impala or LCD Soundsystem

you re right..Staples will clash for sure with one of them.

And Action Bronson with Sigur Ros or PJ Harvey.

Edited January 28, 2016 by cortomaltese

[weston24]

Hopefully one of Pusha T and Action Bronson will be on after PJ/Sigur.

I do love how the different genres are put on at the best times for them but it's always annoying when the headliners are so strong and they're very likely to clash with the hip hop and post punk kind of stuff. 11pm-1am is always a nightmare.

...clash between SUEDE's Night thoughts (Auditori probably) and EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY

 

there are many possible clashes but the above one is my most feared.

my guess is Suede in the Auditori, Explosions in the Sky at Ray-Ban, and Air, Tame Impala & LCD at Mordor. If my guesses are true, we would have a clash Air versus Explosions in the Sky which is horrible.

SUEDE (Auditori) 20.45-21.45h

EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY (Ray-Ban) 22.50-23.50h

AIR (Heineken) 22.20-23.35h

TAME IMPALA (Primavera) 23.45-01.15h

LCD (Heineken) 01.30-02.45h

Your plan seems possible. I admit that it ll work for me, since I care most about EITS, suede, Kamasi and carpenter that day. But it still hurts a bit, to miss air or tame impala.

in my opinion, since suede are playing also the previous day, organizers will clash them with sth huge, that's why I'm thinking of EITS.

i hope I'm wrong, and you are right!

another one aspect I'm thinking, is that 

in order to have a decent place for Radiohead (it ll be extremely crowded), somebody has to miss the last shadow puppets.. Last year I missed Interpol to have a good place for the strokes..and this year with radiohead and sold out tickets, I guess it ll be worse..

two years ago I went to Arcade fire, after qotsa finished their set, and I can't say that I enjoyed from that far..

Suede are playing for free in Wednesday so there's that...

Man, Algiers are really great. Love Destroyer as well. This day can be really painful. I'm actually thankful atm that I just can't get into Tame Impala, that will save me some clashing pain...

Edited January 28, 2016 by yaniv297

[branvan]

the latest spot in the Auditori is 20.45-21.45...

 

but I would love them to play really early at 16.00-16.47:39h as did Pantha du Prince, Nick Garrie or Father John Misty... so not to miss Daughter, John Carpenter etc...

Hi everybody ☺

I have 4 full festival tickets that i'm giving away in exchange for 2 vip tickets! If anybody is interested?

Gracias!

[calaix]

Pretty sure Suede will have the last slot in the auditori, as the biggest act there that day (unless they have a flight to catch that night). The clashes on Thursday can only be distressing.

[yaniv297]

All the days look awful, clashes wise. And the more I listen to, the more I find out more good band I'd like to see. And thank god I don't even like Animal Collective, Beach House or Tame Impala! I was gonna give them another chance, but I don't think I have to anymore...

 

Thursdays is a nightmare (or heaven?) of undercred. I wish it will be somehow possible to catch Suede, Protomartyr, Destroyer, Algiers and Explosions in the Sky, without missing out on LCD. I could live without Air, and Impala I don't like at all (thankfully, otherwise this day will be a clash nightmare).
