As for the auditorium gigs I would expect both Aldous Harding and Thundercat to be given slots in the auditorium, and I very much look forward to that.

Not sure about that. Especially Thundercat (as a pitchforky artist) could play anywhere.

[puckno]

Yeah, that is true, however I´ve seen two Thundercat live shows already and they are very much to consider as jazz concerts, with a little urban spice. So I would consider it most likely to have a nice auditorioum spot similar to the one of Kamasi Washington in 2016 (where I was lucky enough to get a front row seat :-) )  Time will show!

i bet you were also at Suede's concert before and you moved forward for Kamasi! i did the same and i was front row too! what an experience!

Belle & Sebastian must be quite likely, no Spanish date on their European tour, which finishes in Glasgow on May 25th

they were more than great at 2015 edition, and their new songs are really good. But isn't it too early to return this year?

Ive been told by an extremely reliable source that AM are headlining this year

Bummer. I don’t think they’re necessarily a bad band, but just a very boring choice for Primavera, and one that will absolutely attract the worst audiences.

On the bright side, the more bands on the topline like Arctic Monkeys, the more time spent away from Mordor...

This is true! I have been the past four times and my favourite was 2015 as I spent most my time on the smaller stages.

I appreciate the effort to see the bright side, but for me it is shocking if they actually booked AM, and all this time we are waiting for this

[Swanmob]

Yeah agreed. For me a very overrated band. I will, like others, be more focused on the bands in the middle of the order anyway.  

[duckula]

If AM were a headliner that would absolutely sour me on going this year - I've not bought tickets yet mind you.

I dunno. 

Something like Bjork-Beck-The National-Arctic Monkeys-Nick Cave-Yeah Yeah Yeahs-Father-Father John Misty-War On Drugs -someone like My Bloody Valentine would hardly be the worst set of acts to headline a fest.

It's not as if they're booking Eminem and Limp Bizkit for the topline.

And the lineup isn't late. It's released the same time every year other than for the 2017 edition.

Or the other festivals, if the source isn't Spanish.

i don't know, i don't want to be greedy

this line up would be wonderful.

But still i believe that AM don't suit with the rest and i'd prefer sth more unexpected, as the slogan says

True, if we get Nick Cave, Beck, The National and Bjork I will be pretty happy.

What about Lorde? She's in Russia on the 31th so she still could play on the 2nd, I think she would be a pretty good addition to the lineup, she was also mentioned by a one primavera stuff in a Gabi's fb live.

Belle and Sebastian would be great too.

Good point, had forgotten about her and they need someone to cater to a younger audience.

Yes, she is very likely. All the rumors are summed up here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rLVoPmmMs9J5G3x3Fh8TFrOJ7UCxCr_5kYnXAL-G-MY/edit#heading=h.a9do7yf8bfyy

they are defenitely not on the bill, because they are supposed to headline mad cool and Gabi denied them clearly back in november, so your source is defenitely fake news.
