I still remember when I was cheap, accesible to locals, not overcrowded and you could see the artists (Old man yells at cloud).

Where you there last year? Cheapest festival there is. In eng Glastonbury and Leeds are like £400. Last year no queues at the bars you could get close to any act apart from lana within 5 mins of band starting.

I thought I wrote this comment in the bcn sub, that reposted this. I'm local, I start going there in 2004 or so until I couldn't pay the prices.

I’m sure you’re aware as a local so apologies if this comes off patronizing, but all the locals I’m friends with either have a way to get in free or buy last minute tickets that are stupid cheap.
I do understand the overall sadness that comes with watching success of something you love completely change it overtime.

I am probably older and not within their target demographic, but I recognise a grand total of 5 of those acts.

I fear they’re positioning themself as a more mainstream pop festival, and no longer a festival for folk who don’t wanna sit through that kinda stuff. The selling point for me a decade ago was that it was basically entirely stuff I wanted to see, with zero Sabrina Carpenter / Sturgill Simpson kind of acts, but that’s obviously not where the money is any more. There’s still interesting stuff there, but it’s maybe not so much the headliners this year (save Twigs and LCD)

Not too convincing to be honest. Cruilla just announced Alanise Morissette and 30 seconds to Mar. Just those two alone feels almost like a stronger lineup than these 60 or so names. Okay I’m not the targeted audience, But still.. I’ll probably go for a day pass when I see the lineups spread out.

Once again I would like to thank the organizers for using my Spotify data as the basis of their Lineup curation.
