how does that bon iver / aphex twin setup work? always imagined aphex twin coming on late, like 1am late?

1am isn't really late at Primavera. I'd expect them to play between 1am and 2am.

the poster would suggest before but after certainly makes more sense

The poster doesn't have much to do with the timing of headliners.

In any case today's poster has Bon Iver and then Aphex Twin and I would expect that to be the order as it happens.

Anyone ever used Seatwave for buying tickets?
Thinking of buying a weekend ticket from there and wondering if it's a trustworthy/reliable source.

I've always found them to be reliable.

My last payment plan payment ran through today and its looking likely I cannot go, that and all my mates never got round to booking.  

Is there a set up for FV selling here or any other forums/groups people know about? Ta

Hey Sam, 

There's a forum here dedicated to ticket sales but it doesn't get a huge amount of traffic. It's here: http://www.efestivals.co.uk/forums/forum/1-tickets-for-saleto-buyto-swap/

Advertising it in this thread too is probably all the reach eFestivals will give you, but I'd have a look at Twickets and Scarlet Mist for face value sales.

I'd love it if Mew were added. Dates look like they would correspond.

Also wouldn't be surprised if Slowdive are primed to stand in for the first big cancellation.

And Arab Strap too...

Very quiet in here. Anyone found any hidden gems from among the lineup?

The downside of releasing 99% of the line up. I wish other festivals would follow suit tbh sometimes so I can get on with my damn life lol

Tbh I've refrained from delving in to the bands I'm unfamiliar with too much as I've already got WAY too much to see over the weekend! Keep getting in to new bands and then realising they're playing the festival and adding them to my list, never mind doing it the other way round.

I know The Avalanches were added late on last year but is it usual to get any more big-ish acts added late on or is that pretty much our lot now? 

[xxialac]

As an absolute minimum there will be another medium-sized name. If a headliner drops out, there's enough time at this stage to bring in a decent name but the closer we get to the festival the more likely they simply bump someone up the line. 

Also very good chance a big name will play a second show on the Tues night, Weds night or Thurs early evening.

I'd guess another 4 names in but 4 names to drop out too. 

[thooomash]

I am looking for a ticket. Anyone selling a full festival ticket?

[xxialac]

Orbital look like they are back. Add them, c'mon, c'mon.

Just noticed all the afternoon gigs and the breakdown of Sunday are now listed on the website.

!!! and the Make-up on Sunday afternoon outdoors should be great. And looking forward to afternoon spots for Julia Jacklin, Nikki Lane, Priests, William Tyler and Slim Cessna.

[weston24]

Great spot, thanks. Loads of great shows for the afternoons. I wish they were still in the park though, I didn't really like the venue last year although I guess it was so they could put security in place.

I saw Pitchfork's review of Priests and was meaning to check them out, didn't know they were on the lineup.

The Sampha album sounds really good after one listen.

In every way I agree with you about the park. Those park gigs (and the ones in the poble espanyol) were magical and very sad to have lost these - also I miss the old ATP stage.

Priests have got tonnes of talent, definitely one to watch.

Ah okay ... I'd seen this before. Assumed it was something new.

The festival's director just tweeted this.

Google translated to English:

By the way, we are preparing a lot of surprises for the festival. You're going to have to be wide awake.

Wonder what the hell that means - incredibly vague.

[Fnmentaluk]

An album by Bright Eyes aka Conor Oberst is called" I'm wide awake its morning" . So maybe he's a hidden stage act.
