Last year it was 19th June for Blur etc., so we might be waiting more than two months 😕
-
Yves Tumor is worth checking out - hipster/pitchfork friendly, but heavily influenced by 90s indie shoegaze/US alternative. I'd assume there's maybe another dozen bands across the three days, to match last year. You'd hope someone big and less poppy for that last day in particular.
-
I think things have been heading that way for a while. I think I saw something with Live Nation where they said they want to sign up artists for festival "tours". I imagine that's much cheaper - probably for both parties. Don't the Kalorama people do BBK and Casa Mijas too? They've certainly have a lot of crossover and with BBK I wonder if they're able to do deals for one year's BBK at the same time as the following year's Kalorama.
-
Not at Primavera Porto though- although Prodigy were added late as a headline name last year and neither were they. The theory is that Blur/Nick Cave were added the last two years after Primavera Porto - possibly because they had deals where they couldn't be announced at other Portuguese festivals till that one had gone ahead.
-
It looks a bit of an outlier for Pulp's tour - Justice are still playing at the end of August too though.
-
Interesting. I'd have thought that Sunday looks a more likely spot for a late announcement. The spread of acts seems a bit off to me - I know a lot of festivals try to push day tickets with similar artists, but they were selling months of three day tickets on the back of a first poster, that is almost entirely made up of the first two days acts.
-
Is that a guess about the headliner for the 30th, or do you know something?
-
Does anyone have an idea of who might be on the dance stage? To match last year's poster, we're still nearly 30 names short, but there were 16 on the Panorama stage. Not sure if many/any of the current line up would be.
-
Yeah - If it's Justice, surely they would balance that poster out by appearing Sunday. Saturday seems like overkill.
-
This was the full line-up last year. Blur and the Prodigy weren't even announced till June - although this year they may have announced more of the headliners early. https://clashfinder.com/s/meokalorama2023

More, if it matches last year. There were 63, so that's potentially another 45 left (assuming Death Cab and the Postal Service are counted separately). 16 of those were elecronic/dj acts on the Panorama stage, and not sure if anyone other than Overmono might fit that description from the 18 announced so far.
-
I thought the Cala Mijas story was that they want to go ahead, but are having issues with the site/licensing/local politics? Whatever is happening, they'd have to provisionally book bands, and I don't think The Smile are bothered enough to put at asterisk next to the date 🙂
-
Today's instagram post suggests they might be gearing up for an announcement. Ties in with last year's dates. Spring is already in the air in Lisbon!Stay tuned 👀
-
Fingers crossed. They're still touring European festivals at that time.
-
I don't think the connection has to be with the organizers. If anything it would probably be part of the band's deal with Primavera Porto because they don't want to lose ticket sales to another festival. If a band is playing Primavera in Porto and Barcelona it is likely a bigger deal, so they'd have more power to ask them not to announce other festivals that might compete for sales.
