Last minute planning transport to and from the Forum and I'm beyond lost. Anyone know a relatively straight forward way to get from placa de catalunya / las ramblas to and from the forum?

The metro is quite easy to use, I can't remember what lines it is exactly but the festival stop is El Maresme / Forum. They run buses from the festival site to Placa de Catalunya on the Thursday and Friday after the metro has stopped which cost €2.

it's the L4 line, Urquinaona stop is right beside Placa de Catalunya and a few mins walk from Las Ramblas.

If you’re coming back from the forum then I would get the festival shuttle bus to plaça catalunya on Thursday and Friday nights because the metro only runs all night on Saturdays. It costs €2.  You could also get a night bus (N6 and N7 both go to plaça catalunya) but they are generally packed. You can use your T10 transport card on them though.

For anyone who is stressed about transport, Barcelona is one of the easiest cities to traverse. I'd say it won't take any longer than 35 minutes to get anywhere in the city. Lots of busses and metros which run regularly and on time and you can use MyTaxi, Cabify or Uber (we only just got it so it's very expensive).

 

Just get a T-10 from the metro stops and you'll get 10 journeys. Costs 10.20 euros. You can even share a single T-10 between multiple people.

Recommend you guys to download "Citymapper". Super easy to use if want to know the best ways to come from A to B. 

[Lars Vader]

We always rent bicycles when we are at Primavera Sound. So, we are totally free to go where we want and at every time. Costs € 20-25 from Wednesday to Sunday.

Bjork’s setlist from All Points East seems to be very Utopia heavy.

Vampire Weekend's been ramping up their Instagram activity. 

At Los Angeles International Airport waiting to board. Let's do this!

Much alike the two sets from Iceland. Nothing from homogenic again...

But she threw in Human Behavior, closest to a hit on this show.

Nothing from Homogenic is a real bummer. Might stay a bit on UMO and go see her only after they're done

[Lars Vader]

Human Behavior and Isobel. But whatever she plays, her shows are always great to watch. Just pick a place where people are not chatting too loud

Amaia & The Freefall Band announced for the Hidden Stage on Thursday.

[alansdeepbath]

Is this the last one? 

[Hip Priest]

Represented Spain at the Eurovision a few weeks ago. Are Primavera trolling us?

[Hip Priest]

Spanish forum saying Ride for Hidden on Friday.

[Blank Expression]

Confirmed on Twitter ???

Her Primavera set is a bit longer, don't know if that means she'll play a few more older songs or not.

All we need now is for MBV to be an unexpected act and we’ll have the big three shoegaze bands playing.

[Lars Vader]

Ride vs. Thundercat ?

Seriously,

 

I was praying whatever was announced in that slot would be missable but Ride is a big announcement for me.

 

The two stages are literally one minute from each other so maybe half and half.

Was at Bjork last night.

The Utopia songs were dramatically less good than the older couple of classics she played. As a result large parts of the show were a chore. Shame as the staging was good.

All these weeks of waiting for a nobody who sang at Eurovision? (and Ride, quite good admittedly)

well they have Migos headlining, so yes.

[xxialac]

What hurts is no Rodriguez who had been strongly rumoured, who cancelled a few years ago and had the right alphabetical initial.

[daviddaviddaviddavid]

Agreed. Bit disappointed to be honest. Spoilt or what!

[rzwodezwo]

When do we reckon Los Planetas will play?
