Primavera Sound 2017

[daemon]

Pretty good result for XX fans, it's almost as if they're curating the night.

Shame I find them astoundingly dull live.

[sgtpepper100]

They clash with Swans, who are exceedingly not dull   Jamie xx set should be good as well I reckon

[xxialac]

Totally agree with you. I always want to enjoy the XX but my god it quickly gets repetitive and dreary and playing in Mordor will hardly help. Heard their new shows are better but I remain skeptical.

So surely Jamie XX was going to play that weird Rayban gap on Saturday. Now he's been promoted, who are they going to get to fill in now???

Smart money's on Romy doing a cover set of her favourite Yo La Tengo songs with Oliver on backing Xylophone.

[MadScientist]

Where can I find set times?

[MadScientist]

Also anyone know what food stalls are like? Me and my friend have dietary requirements we are trying to plan around

what's with the whitney/the growlers thing? it says on the app they're playing at the same time at mango

 

[xxialac]

I'd guess they haven't quite reached agreement with the bands in which order they will play yet.

A single non-singing DJ on a big soulless stage will never do it for me, even if he is mostly spinning his own records. Live music will win out every time...

We've shied away from them for years as they seem over priced and disappointing.. but there seems to be talk of more reasonable options this year.. I'll hunt out the link. I must confess I've not seen much in the way of specific dietary choices. I guess check it out carefully on the first day. We usually have a menú del dia beforehand.

I mean Jamie XX isnt a terrible solution. He is great if you are into that sort of thing (i loved his album, one of the best that year) but still wished for something else no matter how much in fantasy land i was.

Were Arab Strap clashing with Mac Demarco before the changes?

Nope, sure they were clashing with Frank Ocean.

Nope don't think so.

Just realised I can now see both Mitski and Whitney which I'm happy about!

edit: oh no wait no I can't

Yeah I don't think it'll be for every meal just in case we are starving. We're both vegan so hoping there'll be a falafel stall or something

[MadScientist]

Ahhhh the clashes hurt me deeply... The XX and Swans, King Giz and Aphex Twin, Japandroids and Skepta

[MadScientist]

Some of the stage times seem a bit thrown together. Slayer after Solange set sounds a bit mad lol

[sgtpepper100]

That's the beauty of it, MadScientist - enjoy the ride

This is the link to the food.

I am a vegetarian who tries to avoid eggs and there is a Mediterranean Vegan place called Boomboomrest - that I am very excited about.

Somethings come up and I can no longer go  Anyone want a full weekend ticket for £140 or nearest offer? And does anyone know the official ticket reseller site? Thanks

[LeFreak]

Bags are packed, getting very excited, flying out early in the morning. I wonder what will happen with the "unexpected primavera" tab on the app, I was thinking Jamie XX might be announced for the Saturday night gap on Ray Ban but now it's back to guessing. Seems a bit late to be announcing a secret show for tomorrow/Wednesday night, there must be someone playing during that 3 hour gap on the Saturday night..

[xxialac]

Someone on another forum saying they're 'sure' Arcade Fire will do an intimate set on Wednesday afternoon. Doesn't know where.

The Azkena Forum? Could be a joke, but probably a misunderstanding due to Google Translate narrating for me.

This time tomorrow I'll have just landed in Barcelona

 

Can I trust you all to post any news about secret gigs in this forum? Thanks.
