joaommaia Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 Bought a day-ticket today. What can we expect for Friday? I read somewhere about James Blake... but why are you considering him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read somewhere about James Blake... but why are you considering him? Honestly I think Friday is already full, they normally have 23 acts per day and Friday is already at 23. Thurs has 20 (3 to come) and Sat 17 (6 to come). Happy to be wrong though. The JB info faded away sadly (I love his new record) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odessa Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 Disappointed not to get an announcement this week. Has to be next week now, surely. Any hints @gregory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockid Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 At least for me, current lineup is not as good as I expected. I am hoping for additional 2 medium-big names on Thursday and Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any hints @gregory? How soon is now? No idea, could be after Easter at this rate. Hopefully soon. The MC announcement wasn’t so special IMO so BBK have a chance to offer an decent alternative if they act quick... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Mad Cool lineup is brilliant tbh. I was gutted when they announced Empire Of The Sun but at least you had prepared me for that lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The word "complete" is not the same as ending. Edited April 13, 2019 by Degu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s fine, and quite different to a lot of other festivals this summer. To have Stokes, Weezer, Liam, Brockhampton, Suede, Vince Staples, Hot Chip, John Grant, Damon Albarn etc is a good mix at least. It could do with a few more good guitar acts IMO (this year seems way more dancey than when I last went in 2017), but let’s see what the final announcement brings. The 2 names I’ve heard have no Euro dates so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, thank god. Was well embarrassed for a second haha. Getting a bit boring waiting for official news isn’t it... They haven’t even announced the “day” concerts in the city yet, or if there will be a campsite day 0 concert again this year (they put the price up €5 so there better be!)

I'll take next week for that news but please, not too much longer now! Changing tack, someone wrote you can walk from San Mames to the Campsite, albeit mostly uphill, in just 45 minutes. This sound about right to anyone who's done it? Is it easy to avoid getting lost by following the map on the official website? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxialac Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 St Vincent is a pretty big name these days. Headlined End Of The Road last year alongside Vampire Weekend. I inferred it was a more medium-sized name like a Bat For Lashes type. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r55N Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) "sounds more exciting than actually is" means no st. Vincent, Karen O and other females in this caliber. We'll see soon. I'm very happy with the current line up so any decent additions will just add to the flavor for me (and secretly hoping they drag Yonaka from Mad Cool... ) Edited April 23, 2019 by r55N 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxialac Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 To those in the know, what's the deal with topping up credit at BBK? Do you have to collect the topup wristband in the City or can you collect at the festival site? Can you only top it up online once you have it? Thanks.
