Saw that. Might rule out some acts from Primavera as Prima is 1-4 June and Gov. Ball is 3-5. 

Also, very cool, fun way to announce acts.

Yeah, I'm just going with the assumption that if they're at GB, they won't play Primavera. Anything's possible, but I doubt it.

The primavera pack was released on the 5th..was limited to 1000 issues...and is still available!? I'm quite surprised!

[ilbeyene]

Last year was still available during christmas time, so I think it's normal

Especially doubtful as its in the middle of the Barcelona and Porto editions. You'd imagine the smaller names would be playing both. Any band's that would play both would be on the first night of PS and the last night of GB you'd imagine. As you say though, anythings possible.

Hangout line up announced. Good to see Miike Snow on tour again. Confident of getting them for PS now. Think Haim are a good bet and would love the Wailers there playing 'Legend' in full.

Starting to think that Florence are serious contenders for a headline spot now.

One of the organisers tweeted this last week. Doesn't look like Florence then hahaha.

Wolf Alice?

Probably. Governers ball is looking to have either snaffled multiple bands we would expect to play. This wait is infuriating :/

I doubt it, American fests end of May into June(weekend before Glasto) and playing Werchter. Why would Flo do America, come back for Primavera Sound then go back to America then come back for Europe end of June.

hope you're right. Flo would be a disappointing headliner for me personally

Well it would be strange, there is festivals she could do around Europe but two trips to Europe inside a month from America. I would expect it's early America. If she was doing RAR then I'd consider it may be an option.

[DDave]

I hope they're not at PS an all. Just seems like they're the go to headliner this year.

Just noticed there is a Florence and the Machine sized answer on the GB crossword, which would make sense. 

Hopefully.

Flo is not a contender for PS. It doesn't matter when and where she's touring. She will not be booked.

So that means Father John Misty is surely out of PS?

That's really bad news, was really looking forward to see him.

[Albert.EA]

BBK Live has also confirmed Courtney Barnett. That's Pixies, Father John Misty and her already. I'm quite sad, as I was really hoping for Courtney Barnett to be in this year PS Line-up. There's still a chance though, only Pixies have been announced as an exclusive and it wouldn't be the first time that a band plays both festivals, e.g. Alt-J last year.

It might be misleading, but @gabiruizps (one of the PS organizers) retweeted a tweet from a guy asking when will the Stone Roses and Bowie be announced... I don't want to get my hopes up.

[StephenF]

Reading the conversation back (via translate) it seems to be more a mutual masturbation session over the ride reunion last year :(

[DanielM17]

He does that quite a lot as a joke. Wouldn't read anything into it. If anything, it probably means they aren't playing.

[DDave]

a few people have filled in the GB crossword as they think it may be..

So far, M83, Chvrches and FJM are confirmed.

Not overly disappointed by missing out on those acts if that were correct (which it almost certainly isn't). M83 would be cool and FJM would be nice but I'm not losing sleep over it personally.

[jadel74]

Agreed. Nothing crushing on there IMO.

Hmm I had Kendrick Lamar and Death Grips for 1D & 12A but then deleted it because my crossword answers were mostly boring. I did get CWK, FKA twigs, Daughter, Sky Ferreira, Phosphorescent, OM&M and C&TB the same as the imgur link poster did.

[Bort]

that imgur link has daughter twice, and a T and N sharing a square. 

[yaniv297]

It's a matter of taste but I find the lack of FJM a bit crushing. The Honeybear album is really amazing, and this is probably his last summer touring it.

[DanielM17]

Yeah I think the album is great. Caught half an hour of his set at glasto which is the only reason I'm not overly fussed.

[DDave]

Few more announced for Arenal Sound. 8 and a half months to go. They're keen!

Nothing of interest tbh and nothing I'm disappointed about missing.
