Well yeah, that's true, it's not transferable

Strictly for media people though, isn't it? Not sure it's transferable.

It's not strictly to media people, it is for most of the jobs related with music, arts and spectacles, that could be from working in a publishing house to own a self-designed t-shirt company, that's how i got the ticket. But afterwards I've got a VIP ticket in a contest, so I wrote to the organisation and they told me that I could transfer the ticket to the name of another holder with no problem

Cool. I love how flexible the organisers are, they genuinely try and help people. Not the UK experience.

Anyone have experience sneaking drink into the venue? Never been to Primavera but have found most other EU festivals to be pretty bloody strict with searches..

If you bring in a plastic bottle of water with the lid off you can walk right through the gates.

I used this tactic last year to get gin in too.

Oooooh interesting. Fat chance of me getting beer in like that though!

They are bloody not strict in the slightest with searches at Primavera.

Interesting. Might chance my luck so.

estimated walking time from Mordor to the Barcardi stage? Wanna see all of TWOD followed by James Holden but cant remember how long the walk is.

I'd say about 20 minutes, assuming you're walking fast and not getting slowed down by the crowd.

Give it 30 if it means leaving the mordor when a show ends and everyone leaves

We're flying back home early Monday, right after the Apolo gigs.
Is there a decent cloakroom to put our luggages on around the CCCB?

[addicted2noise]

Is James Ford currently touring with the Arctic Monkeys? If so maybe SMD are a possibility for that post Jon Hopkins slot.

I don't think so.

I don’t think so.  You could try to stash your bag at the airport at some point on Sunday.

ahh okay, thank you.

Can anyone confirm or deny if there is still that little convenience store/newsagents just outside the festival site that sells big beers for 1 euro?

Hey, Plaza Catalunya isn't too far from CCCB so there're a few options there. Check this website out → https://www.nannybag.com/en/luggage-storage/barcelona/placa-catalunya

I’m sure I’ve missed most of this chat but what are the biggest rumours for the secret sets this year? I was thinking maybe vampire weekend with Rostam being there already but that’s just a guess. Hoping for better than Haim this year

Can't remember any more. VW would seem a sensible guess. Los Planetas look nailed on as one (of the three?)

Jungle would make the most sense to me.

The National doing Boxer in full from 8pm-9pm on the hidden stage, before their short-ish 9:30pm set at Mordor. unlikely, but there's definitely room for a secret set there for someone between 8pm-10pm.

Yeah, agree. Someone will step up but probably not The National.

Frank Ocean being given a giant wedgie by the two guys from Sparks.

So if the Los Planetas rumor/leak is accurate, there's only one teased name to uncover next week:

No, they can't fit there. They belong in L for Los. 

Which means that they must be playing Unexpected not Hidden.

"There are still two big things ready to be announced. And as far as I know one will be a really freaky one (def. not the national that one)"

[ghostdancer1]

I assume Los Planetas playing "Unexpected" will be like Pond or Local Natives playing backstage last year?

https://unexpected.primaverasound.barcelona/

because Haim and Mogwai are FAR bigger than them, and I can't see anyone being particularly bothered to race to see them if it's some last minute announcement...
