Primavera 2018


Runnerups
 Share

Recommended Posts

I think you are missing the point. The line-up is going to be released in January as far as we know right now. The winners are obliged to sign a NDA regarding the line-up. Besides, Gabi said on Twitter that he wanted to show each winner a different line-up with one (or several) fake acts, so they can know who is the leaker in case it happens.

As Orens says, they won't announce the line-up on a Saturday but will they release it the following week? That's the real question for me. The video announcement was shot a few weeks ago (most of the acts are included in post-production) so my guess is that if every act is signed by Dec 16th, they could release the poster between Dec 18th and Dec 21th.

Probably they are open to it being leaked. Generates interest/hype.

That's one of the keys, I think. They won't take pictures so what if some guy says The National, Nick Cave and Tyler the Creator are playing Primavera? More buzz, that's all. Regardless, I think there won't be a massive leak alas 2015 where a list of +200 bands were circulating hours before the announcement.

Remember what Gabi said last year: "we finished the line-up by the end of November so why should we wait?" I reckon if they get to finish the line-up by then, they'll release it before Christmas Eve.

The phase 1 poster of Sonar might have just leaked (still unofficial). We already knew that LCD Soundsystem, Gorillaz won't play Primavera 2018 (and Bonobo is a longshot), but IMO Bjork is a lock to play.

Another version of this poster just became official:IMG_20171129_130159.thumb.jpg.f87b99b83a24ffc9453f007e2eeb29a5.jpg

 

Meanwhile, St. Vincent is headlining Catalonia's Vida Festival, next to Franz Ferdinand. I guess that's what she meant when she said she's coming back to Barcelona, but didn't see this one coming.

I don't know anything for sure but I think not a single one of the things you mention are going to happen. We are not gonna find out anything but some blurry leaks in two weaks. Also, they will get into January without a single name revealed so they'll keep their lips sealed until the big announcement. And finally, Arctic Monkeys a) won't be touring that early (if at all) b ) won't end up on this line-up if they hit the road next year.

Like you, I can only estimate, but my two cents:

- you can't tell 10 people the lineup and expect it to stay a secret for a month, everything leaks these days

- You don't fly people especially to Barcelona to give them a fake or bogus lineup. You also don't do it to sue them, NDAs or not.

Given that, I think the lineup will be announced shortly after.

How short? maybe a few days, so it won't be on the weekend, and maybe give time for the rumors and leaks to build some buzz around it. but a few days after I expect it to be officially out. Remember that there's also a financial interest here - the prices rise when the lineup is announced. If everyone knows the lineup before the announcement, they lose money

 

As for Arctic Monkeys, I can only hope. I see all kinds of talks about them in relation to many festivals, not sure how much truth is in any of them, but let's hope.

I just think that given the lineup mad cool is building up - PS needs to supply some A.M. caliber headliner, the current ones are not enough (Nick Cave is awesome, in my mind better than everything MC signed so far, but less appealing to the younger crowd, and the national and Bjork are not enough). I hope for Beck and phoenix, but they are secondaries, they should provide one more big name in my mind.

The PS poster presented to the ten guys won't be a full one, and there was some talk about different versions of the poster. They will probably expose whatever they can and not the reunions and surprise acts which will come out in January that are probably holding the whole poster.

I mean, we're already talking about Nick Cave, The National, etc. We'll just have more names to discuss during the holidays, until Coachella and co. will unveil their posters, allowing PS to announce Jack White/Kendrick/Arctic Monkeys/mbv/whatever.

Gabi just tweeted:

"A couple of details and we close the poster. This year they are resisting a little on the smallest things. I think we are infatuated too much and we end up sweating to close them more than necessary." 

This seems like they love the artist so much, they're trying to give them everything to please them to play! Diva behaviour from the booking???

Hmm that makes me think they are trying to get Morrissey. He's an absolute diva and he's been mentioned for Primavera in the past.

Hoping this is to do with them trying to persuade Jack White.

Well, he is heavily rumored to headline Bonnaroo on the following weekend. Over the last two years (during which the festivals were set on following weekends) both posters shared LCD Soundsystem, The xx and Tame Impala on major slots, among others. 

I wonder who else could book him on Europe, prior to and on the Prima weekend. "APE presents.." on the Friday? Field Day London on the Saturday (unsure he fits there)? The French festivals, We Love Green + This Is Not A Love Song?

Yeah I have been thinking APE Presents might be one of the festivals Gabi was on about syndicating with to get White over, seeing as they were likely still trying to get their final headliner recently as well. I suppose the Bonnaroo tip will limit things if he's off back the next weekend but fingers crossed they can sort that out.

Guys, he especifically mentions they're having a lil issues with "the smallest bands" so this delay is not for Jack White or Morrissey, at least at this point. My two cents: Brockhampton, tho obviously is almost impossible to guess which band is going to be the last one to be added to the line-up.

 

And btw, the headliners I was told a few weeks ago didn't include Jack White. I don't know if I will be right but that's what I know.

    • Yes I'm also glad to see more experimental leftfield artists on the line up  Best line up in years 
    • Also Elefant to the Buzz.
    • I've heard him mention Deftones and Biffy as holy grail bookings in the past.   I think given Simon is back again suggests he enjoyed himself last year, not sure if they all still live in the UK so don't know if they'd match the flight thing
    • I refuse to queue for it - usually take an aeropress and some way of heating water but this year I'll be pre making a few bottles of coldbrew and having an iced coffee every morning (if we can get hold of ice, otherwise it'll be a lukewarm coffee) 
    • Himalayan salt lamps are decoration lighting that you may purchase for your house. They are made of pink Himalayan salt and are believed to offer a variety of health advantages. In reality, advocates of salt lamps believe that they can purify the air in your home, relieve allergies, improve your mood, and help you sleep.   Some people claim that Himalayan salt lamps can improve air quality, boost mood, and aid with sleep. However, there is little evidence to support these claimed health benefits.     What Are The Salt Lamps, And Why Are They Used?   Himalayan salt lamps are created by inserting a light bulb into huge chunks of pink Himalayan salt. True Himalayan salt lamps are created from salt collected from Pakistan's Khewra Salt Mine. Salt from this area is thought to be millions of years old, and while it looks quite similar to table salt, the tiny amounts of minerals it contains give it a pinkish hue. Many individuals purchase Himalayan salt lamps because they like the way they look and the peace that the pink light provides in their homes. Meanwhile, some are drawn to their potential health benefits.   How Do Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps Work?   Salt lamps are thought to have health benefits because they are "natural ionizers," which means they change the electrically charged particles of the flowing air. Ions are compounds with an uneven number of protons or electrons, which gives them a charge. They are naturally formed in the air as a result of atmospheric changes. Streams, storms, waves, natural radiation, and heat all generate air ions. They can also be generated artificially using commercially available air ionizers. It is thought that Himalayan salt lamps produce ions by attracting water particles, which evaporate as a salt solution when heated by the lamp, resulting in mainly negative ions. However, this theory is yet to be verified.   Related Topic: Is Pink Salt Better Than Normal Salt? How To Buy Pink Salt In Canada? 8 Benefits Of Pink Himalayan Salt      What Are The Health Claims, And How Do They Measure Up? They enhance the air purity   They are promoted as helpful for persons suffering from allergies, asthma, or respiratory disorders such as cystic fibrosis. There is presently no proof that using a Himalayan salt lamp can eliminate harmful bacteria and enhance indoor air quality. The argument that they are beneficial to persons with respiratory issues may be based on the ancient technique of halotherapy. According to this therapy, persons with chronic respiratory diseases are helped by spending time in saltwater caves since salt is present in the air. Some researchers have found that this approach may be beneficial to specific respiratory disorders, but further high-quality studies are still needed.   Eases Coughing As you are aware, the benefits listed in the previous section highlight the distinct characteristics of Himalayan salt lamps. When these lamps heat up, they emit negative ions that offset the positive ions in our surroundings, resulting in cleaner air quality. This process increases cilial activity in our airways, which aids in the removal substances from the lungs. In essence, Himalayan salt lamps act as natural air filters, promoting general health.   In a nutshell, Himalayan pink salt lamps not only remove impurities from the air but also assist your body filter air more efficiently, making sure any foreign particles you inhale do not enter your lungs.   They can help you sleep   There have been no studies looking into the impact of Himalayan salt lamps on sleep. However, a 2013 study examining the effects of air ionization on relaxation and sleep found no evidence of a positive effect. Thus, even if salt lamps have an effect on the air environment, it is unknown whether this will change sleep patterns. If you replace strong electric lights with a Himalayan salt lamp, the dark light could help encourage weakness near the end of the day. This is because being exposed to bright light before bedtime can cause the sleep hormone melatonin to be produced later.   SUMMARY: Himalayan salt lamps are said to improve air quality, elevate mood, and aid in sleep. However, there is right now insufficient evidence to support these statements.     Do Pink Salt Lamps Provide Any Benefits?   Although some of its health claims have not been verified by science, Himalayan salt lamps may provide additional benefits. This includes: They are attractive: If you like how they look, they could be a good addition to your home. They help to create a soothing atmosphere that allows you to unwind. They may help minimize light in the evening: If you have trouble sleeping, utilizing dim lights in the evening may help you fall asleep more quickly.     Further Ways to Purify Your Home Air   Himalayan pink salt lamps are not the only technique to improve your home's air quality. Pair them with air purifying houseplants or any of these other easy but incredible ways to naturally filter the air in your home, helping you and your family to breathe the healthiest, cleanest air imaginable!     Read More...
