Is Porto always like this?

I’ve been to Primavera in Barcelona a couple of times but this was my first in Porto. I had already read about it being a ”cozier” experience due to the smaller size and that made sense to me.

However yesterday it had way more queues than Barcelona even being smaller (and not having sold out) the queue to get the wristband was really big and I don’t know if it made sense to have to exit that area to enter the festival.

And the same for the bar queues, they were much slower than in Barcelona.

Is it always like this? I was really surprised.
