1. What's the vibe/crowd demographic in terms of age?
2. Anyone who came from the U.S. (particularly anyone in NYC, but I'll take whatever I can get), would you mind sharing around how much you spent on lodging, flights, and food/drink for the time you were there, combined?
1. The crowd can shift pretty wildly depending on where you're at. There tended to be a lot of younger people at the main stages for the poppier sets, but the crowds at nearly every other stage tended to skew older. It's true that all the shows have a lot of talkers, but the sound is really good pretty much everywhere so you'll barely notice.
2. I won't speak for lodging/flights since I took a slightly different path of getting there (and my family's flight home ended up getting cancelled at 3AM on Sunday so we had to switch lol), but I spent around 150 Euros on food/drinks and a hat at the festival, plus probably around an additional 50 euros or so outside the festival around Barcelona.
Hey, folks. So, with the vibe of Governors Ball continuing to proceed down the toilet the way it has been, I'm considering other options for my festival dollar next year. Primavera's lineup this year was killer, I know Barcelona is an amazing city...so I'm contemplating it in 2020. I had a couple of questions, if folks wouldn't mind answering:

Thanks, y'all.
From New York it really wouldn't be very expensive at all. You could easily get a round trip ticket between $200-300, maybe even less if you really keep an eye out on flight prices. Accommodation could vary drastically depending on what you're looking for, but Barcelona isn't really expensive compared to other big European or US cities.

1. Crowd skews relatively older than most U.S. festivals. Dunno if that changed a bit since they've booked more pop/rap acts the last two years (Lorde, Miley, Migos, Future, etc.), but when I was 28 in 2017 I felt average to slightly young for the normal crowd show. Crowd is really good for the most part, but there's certainly drunk Brits ("lads on tour") and the occasional drunk teenager. A "cool" aspect is a lot of acts who probably play to ~500-800 person rooms often times have +5k crowds, so for most bands its their "biggest show of the year" or "biggest show ever" - which is great for excitement and engagement, but sometimes you do have to plan your schedule to get a "good" spot at a couple of the stages.
2. I came from L.A. and my flight was $850 round trip the year I went for an AA with one connection - I considered this pretty solid. I'd budget probably $500 from NYC if you book really early, but that's a rough estimate. On lodging, For reference, my best friend is currently planning a trip to Barcelona next month and just booked 3 nights at a hostel in El Born (a cool neighborhood of Barcelona) solo for $200 total, so you can find places to stay solo for under $100 per night and use the rail to get to/from the fest for cheap. Food/drink is normal festival prices but since you won't be getting there til 6 PM anyway (music roughly goes 6 PM to 6 AM as I'm sure you're aware), you can have a quick (cheaper) dinner in the city before going then only get a snack and drinks at the fest. Barcelona food/drinks is as cheap (taco joints) to expensive (Michelin star restaurants) as you want it to be.

200-300 is too low to budget for, feels like more of a goal

1) I saw all ages, and the vibe was great overall. The LGBT turn-up definitely contributed to this. There were certainly some (mainly Spanish speaking) obnoxious twats, but the talking wasn't as bothersome as I expected it to be since many of those same people were really engaged and enthused during the shows at the right times. I've seen way deader crowds throughout the US and elsewhere in Europe.
2) I spent $850 on the flight to Europe from the East Coast (booked relatively late in the game) and $250 for a shared airbnb for five nights total. Food/drink must have amounted to like $50 a day. I had one big restaurant meal each day, and then just purchased festival food on site. Drank a lot of water and smoked a bunch of decriminalized weed, so I didn't drink alcohol all that much which saved costs too. And as said before, you could be even cheaper by bringing in your own food to the festival.
She was great, though not as good as in 2017 due to the new songs being mediocre.
Anyway, I had an amazing time in Barcelona. While the sets didn't enter the echelon of all-time favorite festivalshows I've seen in my life, it was definitely one of the best festival experiences I've had thus far. Certainly the coolest and most diverse festival I can think of. I mean, fuck, where else can you start off with an avant garde act as The Necks (in an indoor auditorium), Danny Brown right before sunset, Interpol headlining on a massive stage, SOPHIE on the beach where you stand in the sand, a kickass Charli XCX popshow, and then dancing to Nitzer Ebb at 3:45 in the morning. And that was just on the first day!
I may type more details later, but I am gonna do my best to return next year and urge everybody here to attend as well. You won't regret making this your sole annual destination festival.
Already putting plans in motion to come back in 2020. Missing it a lot and three of my best friends are in Spain right now and I want to go back, almost lineup independent.

To all 2019 attendees: Pre-early bird tickets for 2020 are on sale now for 145 euros + 6 euros in fees. Totally worth buying for that price cause you can easily resell them if you cannot attend again.

I'm not biting especially after just picking up Coachella tickets, and wanting to do Riot Fest plus Primavera LA or Glastonbury next year......but god damn, that's a tempting offer.

Deadline is July 3rd, FYI. Also, I guess this would be a good place for people to beg for extra pre-early bird barcodes from people who don't wish to use theirs.
Early bird tickets for Barcelona purchased. Pavement, finally.
I don't know if you attended Coachella in 2010 but I remember the crowd from the back being wack as shit. Ready for the return of this band and I'm REALLY gonna try and make this work next year

Funny you say that because Pavement were originally supposed to perform in LA this year but the plans didn't work out so only the two Euro dates were finalized. Maybe in 2020 will the US see Pavement again.

Very talkative/annoyiug and most people were there for Gorillaz. This was the year of the mass gate crashers
