xxialac Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 Yes, could well be. Though any potential excitement about the Pixies has long died after years of touring (and playing PV). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they would shift more tickets or earn credibility for the festival in booking The Pixies exclusive in 2018. They would try to get "fresh" acts which can also be "cult" acts as Ride, Slowdive or Pulp were in past editions. But in my opinion it will be an exclusive* booking for a younger audience - like Frank Ocean this year. *for Spain Edited January 4, 2018 by Createur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orens Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 The absence of Kendrick Lamar, Anderson .Paak and Soulwax from both Boston Calling and Gov Ball makes me hope PS will snatch them. Soulwax are playing Coachella in April (after playing Sonar, FiB and BBK since 2016), while Kendrick and Anderson are playing Hangout in the US, less than two weeks ahead of PS. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initially I thought it could be Meshuggah, but they're elsewhere on the dates. I also think Deftones are a potential too. Deafheaven (new album this year apparently)/ Wolves In The Throne Room are due an appearance too. Converge played last year, which is a shame as their new record is a banger. Similiar vibe, Thursday are playing Slam Dunk and would fit the Prima sound, and I think someone mentioned Turnover are in Europe around that time too, seem like a good fit. i think Gabi said something positive about Deftones in a Q&A before Xmas. there's a few other rock acts on here at the same time that i'd like to see, although doubt we'll get any of them: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgreen7643 Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 Ooo, is Kendrick back in as a possibility? I thought there was chat of him only doing festivals later in the summer? Sorry if I’m missing something! Kendrick, Nick Cave, Björk and The National would be my ideal headliners. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

April-May: U.S. May 31st: Barcelona June 5th: Porto June 7th: London June 12th: back to the U.S. He literally crossed the pond to play Primavera so I guess he can do it again regardless his August tour. But I reckon it's a long shot. Anyway, Watain confirmed themselves via a Spanish magazine. I guess they are this year's Gojira. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yeah but it was literally Gabi who said he won't be coming to Europe until late Summer, in response to a question about him being at Prima, so that would make no sense if he's doing late Summer in Europe but also coming over for Prima.

I don't think he said last summer, I think he meant the then-unannounced Winter arena tour. Gabi also said on a later chat that he's going to see Kendrick in Paris with his daughter.

Nesser Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 Gabi loves to brag about how hard is to get an act they already booked before the announcement. It has happen literally every year (I especifically asked for The Replacements and Frank Ocean and got a similar answer). Also, I knew the he was rumoured to play Reading and late summer fest but didn't remember Gabi originated the rumour although I could've slept on this one.

The initial translation that got posted here was him saying Kendrick won't be in Europe until later in the year but it was then clarified by others that what he'd actually said was late Summer.

xxialac Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 Despite the commercial success of previous years, Primavera does need one big name probably to give them peace of mind that tickets will sell out. Kendrick Lamar would probably achieve that. Wouldn't put it past Gabi to throw people off the scent though. He's quite mischievous like that. He linked to a list of Best 30 Rap Albums of 2017 and Kendrick wasn't on it. Gah, I don't know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nesser Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 (edited) He also linked to a couple of End of Year Lists where #1 and #2 were Lorde and Kendrick. But honestly, the sooner we accept we won't get him this year, the better. Edited January 4, 2018 by Nesser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously it's unlikely, but based on the known dates there's not reason to rule him out yet. Meanwhile, apparently the 'chosen ones' have only seen 30% of the poster.

Orens Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 PS is bringing back Slowdive to both Barcelona and Madrid in March, so I guess they're ruled out from both Primavera and Mad Cool (they decided to cancel their 2017 performance at the last minute after learning about the stuntman who was killed earlier that evening).
