Larsen B Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 I am only the person who worries that they couldn't stand the heat at a music festival in Spain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RF Scott Posted February 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 I am only the person who worries that they couldn't stand the heat at a music festival in Spain?I was in the same boat as you, but thankfully they time the festival really well. Starts around 3/4 in the afternoon, and goes on until 4am or so. So, it's actually quite cool for the majority of the festival, at least by Spain's standards. The festival site is also right on the coast, too, so that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkman Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Primavera's good. People know how to behave and you can take the tube to Parc Guell. In 2006 I saw Steve Albini eating a crepe, then danced to Ellen Allien! I'd be excited about this year, if I was still alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

78saab Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 gah. i really wish primavera would be at a more agreeable time of year for those of us blighted by exams/coursework submissions (then i guess they'd have to change the name of the festival, right?).benicassim falls on my birthday this year.. but the line-up is still a little uninspiring if you ask me (i realise no-one asked me). i feel like primavera 2008 is mocking me with it's aceness... i mean.. POLVO! jeez.looks like it'll be Indietracks for me this year.. indie-pop... on a train.. and in a church? with a bouncy castle? serious twee.

Elizabeth Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Man, that would be an amazing birthday. Shame I've got an exam on the 3rd and it's in Spain and there's no way in hell any of my friends would be willing to come with me. :'(...if Why? are playing this, does that equal more chance of them playing a full-on UK tour?
