Primavera Sound 2017

I'd find it strange for Frank to cancel two appearances, then wait a couple of weeks before cancelling others.  He's going to be there 

ATCQ just cancelled all Euro festivals.. was desperate to see them, so would be gutted if they'd have been booked!

If Frank Ocean doen't play there's plenty of other bands worth seeing......he's not on my list so am no bothered one way or another haha.

 

See the site map is out now too.  Shame theres no Ray Ban iunplugged this year - that was awesome last time.

Unless he's giving the festivals time to try and line up replacements. I'd say he's likely to be there but you can't say with confidence. 

The 3 firestone gigs were on the official website briefly yesterday before being taken down.

I'm hoping they are earlier than the previously suggested 6pm but they didn't specify a time.

First time I've been to a festival with a lifeguard.

Can't remember last time there wasn't a Rayban unplugged...

Mango house???

[xxialac]

Mango house is obviously a ruse and its true name is Banana Republic (and where Gorillaz will be playing)

Does anyone know whether there are programmes, how much they will cost, what to expect, etc.

They are free and given out when you arrive. They are nothing special.

Is it worth printing out a few clashfinders then?

Personally I would. I take screenshots of them.

[dunx747]

screenshots or use the App....or ask a life guard.

I couldnt see that either... i think the bar behind mango house could be labelled wrong as the logos on the map show cocktails twice right next to each other. Perhaps one is meant to be vermouth?

i have never seen coffee stands before, to be fair if its cold at night & youre flagging not a bad shout. Irish coffee!

Has anyone qued for the hidden stage before? I would be quite keen for jarv on the wednesday but not sure i want to stand around for hours waiting. Do you have to be there really early?

[Ecco]

A few more wine spots would have been great. Just two for the whole festival area is way too less. I remember these queues last year.

I qued for Lush last year. We were at the site about 45 minutes before it opened. We first waited in the shadow of some trees and when te line to enter the festivalsite got quite big we joined in. At that moment security let the line become a bit wider so they let us stand almost in front, which was really lucky. We waited for 30 minutes in the que I guess and about 10 minutes in the que on site. As far as I noticed Lush was the biggest line of the weekend, however most people got a ticket I think. 

However, Lush was at a regular festival day so only ticketholders were allowed on site. Wednesday might be an other story.

[sgtpepper100]

Just over a week to go!  Still no news on this early set eh.. is it likely to be Tuesday or Wednesday?

[TiZuff]

It's Wednesday. I hope it's sampha because I'm skipping him to get a good spot for Frank ocean but really want to see him. 

[xxialac]

We don't know it's Wednesday. It could even be Thursday...

[sgreen7643]

What early set is this?! 

[xxialac]

I'd suggest Afghan Whigs as most likely for the early special show, followed by Bon Iver, Broken Social Scene, Sampha and Arcade Fire (though haven't checked if any of them are playing elsewhere)

[xxialac]

Also think it highly likely that we get the non-surprise 3 Firestone names today. 

That would mean 4 unexpecteds revealed, 3 to go.
