Primavera Sound 2014

Lynne77

Wow. Thanks very much for that Lynn77! That was really nice of you.

Not long to wait now. Too excited.

Anytime! That was easy to do and I also appreciate it when people help whenever I travel. Plus… you don't want to be sleeping in the street... except there's not going to be too much sleeping for us next week with those (amazing! and) crazy schedules, is there?! :wink:

Yeah, TOO excited here too!! I can't believe we're almost there!

Immaterial

How many tickets will there be per concert at the Heineken Hidden Stage? And is it correct that tickets for the concerts of each day will be available from 17.00 the same day at the Info on site?

Lynne77

I haven't seen anywhere disclosed how many tickets there will be for the Hidden stage / gig

the 2nd part of what you mention is what the website says, no more info…

Monday noon there's a press conference so let's see if they give out more info on that and other practical details!

last year / this year… (Jenny's coming back )

Anyone:

who was at Primavera Sound last year and couldn't forget Jenny's killer tights (The Postal Service - great show!) I for one sure didn't forget those tights and neither did several of the media out there!
into Jenny Lewis
" The Postal Service and wants to have a great souvenir from the show, not just the regular tee/merch
into tights fetish or whatever

I've found them! (the tights, that is) I'm going to grab a pair for myself. If someone else needs help in getting a pair for you/girl-friends/whatever, I can't promise anything, but send me a PM asap and I'll see what I can do.

Here's a pic of the tights, she was wearing these in at least another show last year as well.

Festivalgoers will have the opportunity to get their reservation to see the exclusive concerts that will take place on the Heineken Hidden stage on Thursday 29th, Friday 30th and Saturday 31st in the Parc del Fòrum. The free reservations will be available on each of these days at 5 p.m. at the information point inside the festival site with one ticket per concert per person.

So where's the information point ? By adidas originals ? Or is there one nearer the main entrance ?

theoldman

The Information point - please don't take this as 100% correct for this year but in previous years there has been an information point just outside the main entry gates. When you walk up past the auditorium and go through the first barrier where the security guys check your bags for booze it's usually just over on the right near all the cabins where media and guest list tickets are picked up. Hopefully it's there again this year.

Hope you get the tickets you want!

Thanks, yes on the map (on the app) there is an information point where you say. Makes more sense.

Anyone going to The Pixies film this evening? I guess most of the people coming from abroad are not yet in the city; but just in case:

For those of us lucky enough to be already here there's a movie about The Pixies this evening at Maldà cinema (c/del Pi, 5), 8 pm, free entrance till the theatre is full.

I'm going, can't wait! Let's see if I manage to sleep tonight with the excitement…

Unfortunately I don't arrive until Tuesday (though leave tomorrow!), Paus/Shellac on Wednesday will be my first Primavera-thing of this year. Can't wait too.

Have a safe trip alistair!
I'd like to make it to Shellac on Wed as well, but I also want to see Sky Ferreira (not exactly very close…!) and I don't know if I even stand a chance getting into the venue so we'll see...

Yeah, opposite side of the city unfortunately - I can't miss Paus though, pure enjoyment. Thanks for the safe journey though, hopefully I won't fall asleep and miss the train before the flight. I'll be the one at the festival with the happy mustache. :?:

we fly tonight, sooo:

is the timetable fixed? no one playing at the julie ruin slot?

weather forecast isn't this good, hm?

beers in vip-zone still 1EURO, correct?

:mrgreen:

theoldman

Doesn't look like anyone has filled the Julie Ruin slot which is a shame. Hardly any bands I want to see ever play the Ray Ban stage which is a pity cos it's the best stage.

Disappointed to see that Jenny Lewis has cancelled so late in the day although I'd have been running off to catch Speedy Ortiz before she finished her set anyway.

Weather forecast doesn't look great. Every year I spend forever staring at weather forecasts and they're never good. I'm sure it'll be just fine. As long as it's warmer than last year I'll be happy.

One question - I notice PS have announced that Girl Band are now opening the Hidden Stage at 6pm on Thursday and there's no reservation tickets needed. Does anyone know if this gig is a replacement of their slot on Vice Stage at 7:25 or if they're now playing twice in a very short space of time??

theoldman

Got my own question answered on Facebook. Girl Band are indeed playing twice on Thursday. That's a relief, a change would have been havoc for my timetable!

Unusually for me i'm not flying into Barcelona until Thursday morning so it'll be straight to the hotel and straight back out to the festival to get the party started. Really excited and just want to get going now.

Hope all you forum users have a brilliant festival and get to see everyone you want to.

I hope I can last the pace until Saturday night so I can dance my socks off to Helen Love whilst everyone else is watching Mogwai and NIN.

weekendwarrior

any news regarding rescheduling after the cancelled gigs of the julie ruin, linda perhacs and jenny lewis? or are there no changes at all?

Lynne77

Just stocked on a couple of basics
