Primavera Sound Porto 2024

[Paul E]

Dice app tickets - there’s the option to transfer tickets to friends. However, I assume it’s ok for three of us to go to the ticket exchange and just exchange them for wristbands off one Dice account? 

[Jamesthedrake]

How worried do we need to be about the weather? Looks a bit of a mixed bag on BBC/Apple. Remember it being quite rainy for a day or two last year

[Yokai]

Too soon to say. The prevision in the portuguese websites change everyday but I would prepare for heavy rain, at least friday night and saturday morning:

This is very unfortunate timing after the sunshine for the last week. 

Albeit a drop in temperatures won't hurt anyone. 🥵

Lankum out

[Yokai]

It seems that the weather will be ok today and terrible tomorrow. Lets hope for the best.

 

If it wasn't for Justice, would leave after TLDP or Tropical f**k Storm.

thats a shame! They were great in Barcelona.

Big fail.

The rumor on the ground is that the festival didn't anticipate the weight of the Justice stage setup. What a shame.

Got a few videos of the Vodafone stage getting taken apart at the middle of the second day, pretty unprecedented IMO

whaaat

[bananaa52]

does it hold up for tomorrow or we will have Pulp cancelled 

[flowernigiri]

And the festival director said that this year they were ready for weather adversities 😂 amateur hour galore

[Yokai]

That is just amateur. And they will probably blame the 20 minute rain for PR.

 

At least Maquina, The Last Dinner Party and now Tropical f**k Storms have been awesome.

[MeMeMeM]

I would like to see how they will deal with cancellation. I get that for weekend passes, yeah, no refund obviously. But Justice and Lana del Rey are billed side by side at the posters... I guess that they will say "well, you had more alternatives", but a situation like this, for a festival that wants to be bigger, is really amateur.

They already said that there will be no refund. Lets just hope that Pulp can perform tomorrow. 

[bananaa52]

at least the rain also cancelled

[Han-Tyumi]

I work in live music production and have done for over a decade. The idea that a festival didn't assess the weights of what was going on stage / getting flown whilst advancing is a staggering failure on a logistical, technical and H&S front.

 

It's not impossible that Justice arrived with oodles more equipment than stated, sadly this does happen. But for an act at their level on the international festival circuit with a very complex show, I lean towards this being a Primavera f**k up. 

 

Gutted for everyone who missed out.

Surely they didnt have more equipment than they had for the show they played at the same festival in Barcelona the week before ? Indeed, what a failure.

There were stretches yesterday where there was literally no music on the entire site. Extraordinary stuff, and their characteristic refusal to explain or apologise just makes it worse.

Very likely you're correct, especially as they could just strike any potential extras. I can't fathom how hard Primavera dropped the ball here. Very fortunate that no one got hurt, or worse. 

 

Absolute scenes.

Its actually a smaller stage
