Primavera Sound Barcelona 2023 + Primavera Sound Madrid 2023

[Yakkety Yak]

The sound bleed from that DJ stage at the back of Mordor is ridiculous, ended up leaving Rosalia early as all I could hear was the beats from it and I didn't want to get right in the mix of the crowd! Only thing they've got wrong this year IMO, didn't realise just how bad it was anywhere further back than halfway til tonight.

Death Grips pit….

Agreed. That stage existing would be my only real gripe this year!

Maybe a tiny amount of tinkering required, to avoid bits of sound bleed from the new configurations.

There were a couple of odd choice of stage for the size of the artist moments, but nothing ridiculous.

Rosalia was the best act of the weekend. Just spellbinding.

So did nothing happen with that big gap on cupra then

It ended up being a Thom Yorke x Matt Bellamy x Jarvis Cocker DJ set which was pretty neat

[Fnmentaluk]

Thinking about I think that gap was done on safety issue , they worried about everyone leaving Rosalia, to go to cupra

[diogozsz]

Do they ask for ID verification at the ciutat shows? I want to send a ticket to a friend who couldn’t make it to the festival

Flying to Madrid today, it's finally primavera week!

Rosalia and Two Shell were supposed to start around the same time so I can't see how this was a safety issue. If anything, dividing the crowd during the main headlining set would make more sense to me. Moreover, there have been no crowd issues throughout the whole weekend, as far as I know.

I have a feeling this was made in order to bring the biggest crowd to Mordor.

I was there too in the end, but as I suspected, I wasn't enjoying it very much plus we were totally exhausted, so we left after few songs.

And I couldn't believe my eyes how many people were standing behind the festival site at 2:30 a.m., pressing their faces against the fence, singing, dancing and staring at us in disbelief with a question in their eyes: "How dare you to have a ticket and leave during Rosalia?"

This was kinda magical.

I understand some of the Calvin Harris hate as it's completely opposite of pretty much every headliner Primavera had so far. I don't get Maneskin hate to be honest, I don't see them as any different than a lot of other mainstream rock acts that played high in the previous years

I loved Rosalia. I don’t know why but the more intimate sections with the camera following her gave me frank ocean vibes

Yeah, I dont care how awful they are, you don't boo an artist, it's just not something that you do

I think when they come on late and play an encore, when you are not a headliner and nobody wants it….you invite the booing

Alison Goldfrapp finished her show late, which made Le Tigre start late, which might finish late too as a result (dont know, left to Blur..). These things happen all the time.

You know well enough that the booing was partly related to who they are and not only to them running late.

I dont like them and prefer staring at the see over their show, but no place for booing in music festival

Sorry if this has already been asked a billion times (I don't want to read through the pages in case there's spoilers) but how do we retrieve the 10 euro bar tab from the Ciudad shows?

[Jamm]

The sadness has already set in😞

I’m wondering this too. 
In addition, which is the entrance for the Apollo (Pet Shop Boys)?

I think it's a nasty move. It's like when Metallica fans used bottle and boo support acts. It doesn't make you cool. 

I don't like Maneskin, I wouldn't have gone, but if I'm stuck there for any reason, I just don't need to engage, I don't need to ruin it for someone else who might be having fun.

There were specific bars at the festival you could spend the credit at.

Alternatively if you don’t spend it then it gets refunded after a few days.

 

Weirdly I attended Black MIDI and BCNR but only have 10€ showing…

Just before I make some dinner plans, if I’ve got a ticket to a show tonight, will I get in, regardless of capacity etc? Can’t remember if the days of monitoring capacity in the city shows are gone for good?

Is the credit stored in the AccessTicket app?

I can’t find anything about this online, if this is at Madrid I’m there

[Fnmentaluk]

Just a quick question,  how good or bad were pet shop boys on Wednesday,  never seen them , like the singles from back in the day , but maybe give them a miss in Madrid to see built to spill .
