It's a famous GAY BAR. At least that's what we decided to call it when we were there a couple of years ago, it was one of G's favourite haunts when he was there. Lovely wee place, top food (unless you ask for a medium steak) Mr Ferguson will tell you all about that if he appears on this thread :D

E's, at 3am, in the amipheatre, would be incredible.

Only band I'd actually bother to watch would be Kasabian.

Drugs are BAD by the way :nod:

Surely thats the idea of a festival. A meeting of people etc. Why would so many people say they are going with no idea of a line-up?

Must admit, a decent line-up would make it even more attractive. In addition to seriously cold beer in a sunny, warm country.

Cos we're all fookin nuts mate. To be honest, towards the last days of the New Order gigs, the pre gig gathering was as much an event as the gig itself, especially those pre gig piss ups abroad :viking:

Anyone thinking about this should bear in mind that it's not really a festival like you might be used to for a couple of reasons.

Firstly, it doesn't stay open all day. In fact, from memory the thing didn't open until something like 10pm and the bands weren't on until much later than that. The headliners were way into the night and bands were still being timed to come on stage at 4am. So it's not the sort of fest where you chill out on the grass with a beer all day before watching a couple of bands and then get the last train home. Which brings me to the second point...

With the exception of the geezer outside who was selling marijuana cheese on toast, there is no grass in the festival. The site is entirely concrete.

Like any other festival, the beer is warm and expensive and comes in paper cups.

I'll be there with bells on. I love Barcelona and I love going away in large groups to get drunk in the sun and I don't really like sitting on grass. I usually find something to do whilst the bands are on too.

It starts at 6pm and goes to 6am. Tis quality.

There's a great big grassy hill - I know, I went to sleep on it around 7'ish on the first day last year! I think Norbert was snoring! :lol:

Festival starts around 6pm and finishes at 6am, so you've got time to chill out until the later bands come on at around 10'ish... Then, time to move! :)

Oh yes! :smoking: :spit:
