Cala Mijas 2023

[Ohad]

A naughty question for those who attended today: how strict is security check at the entrance? Do you predict any problems if put some buds in my tobacco case?

[Afterlife]

Have arrived at the campsite.. It's very sedate, but nice relaxed atmosphere. Aiming to get down to the venue in time for Siouxsie.. Can't wait for Arcade Fire tonight! Enjoy, everyone! Have a good one!

[gingerevans84]

Hope you all have a sweet festival. Bought the ticket on the back of Arcade Fire and Foals, two of the best bands on the planet.

See you all in the moshpit for Two Steps Twice.

Wristband exchange took about 47 seconds.

They really should've taken a page from Mad Cool's book and astroturf the whole venue. Apart from that it looks like a very well run little festival so far.

I’ve done both primavera and madcool the last two years. This is a piece of cake . Arcade Fire and Foals were unreal.

Arcade Fire were INCREDIBLE (best I’ve ever seen them).

I have to agree.....and their entrance down the hill was epic.

 

Such a great show.

[Drums Please Fab]

Still in bed!

Bus station in Fuengirola is RAMMED.

[Drums Please Fab]

Queue to get in bad today?

 

[Drums Please Fab]

That’s the best I’ve ever seen the Strokes I think. Great energy from crowd and the band in their own dead pan way.

Setlist was near perfect.

The 5 coolest blokes of the last 20 years. 
 

Oh and one more thing……

 

Drums. Please. Fab

[Ohad]

The Strokes was perfect in every possible way. One of my best front row experiences ever.

I’ll die happy after tonight. That was special. I’m glad they got plenty of time too. We got a decent amount of songs.

Loved when Julian said to Moretti  “what’s the next song on the set list Fabrizio?” “Oh soma”. “ oh I know that one” 😂

 

or when he put the mic up to Nikolai’s mouth and said “why don’t you want to do an encore?” 😂

Crowd died before Bad Decisions but my god did they come back. Not bad at all.

M83 were smashing as well

M83 were superb! Seen them many times around 2006-2010 and I couldn’t manage to catch them any where since until today. 
 

Like a French “my bloody valentine”. 
 

Seeing wait , midnight city and most of all outro (mr robot finale) was special.

Great band and should be bigger to be honest.

[Drums Please Fab]

Albert Hammond Jr played the f**k out of Hard to Explain.

 

If you know you know.

[clasher]

Was there ever a better illustration of the difference between not giving a f**k while being cool and pretending to not give a f**k while being totally cringy than comparing Julian Casablancas and Alex Turner on stage?

[Afterlife]

The Strokes were absolutely amazing! Up there with the best I've seen them

[Florence2010]

M83 were on fire last night! Almost cried when they actually played Outro!

Haha you got a point mate

But I will say that AM were also great this summer (compared to their lousy tour in 2018)

[Afterlife]

Belle and Sebastian were absolutely phenomenal

Mixed feelings about the festival.

A nice crowd, some excellent bookings and good sound.

Undone by it taking too long to get there and the site was a bit dull. And needed an extra stage to add a bit more choice (especially for day 3 lineup which was a bit crap).
