Primavera Sound festival organizers have apologised for problems with bar services on the first day of the event. The three-day festival, which takes place in Barcelona, Spain, features a line-up including Tame Impala, Gorillaz, Charli XCX, and Tyler, The Creator. However, the first day of the festival was marred by many festivalgoers taking to Twitter to complain of overcrowding, a lack of access to water, key travel lanes being open only to VIPs, and hour-long queues to get served at the bar.
As is now customary of any festival failing to meet basic needs, talk of Fyre Festival is in the air. On Friday morning Primavera organizers said they were "aware of the problems in the bar services" and that they are "working tirelessly" to fix the issues. Day two of the festival will bring headline sets from Jamie xx, Caribou, and The National plus appearances from Earl Sweatshirt, Beck, Mogwai, Little Simz, Wet Leg, and more.
The Strokes were due to headline but were forced to pull out due to a COVID case in their ranks. Today marks the second day of Primavera Sound. We are aware of the problems in the bar services yesterday and we apologize for them.
We are working tirelessly to solve them so that we can all enjoy the coming days as we deserve. See you this afternoon.— Primavera Sound (@Primavera_Sound) June 3, 2022 See below for a collection of complaints from those who are on site at the Spanish festival.
