Friend Chicken Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 FWIW I'm going to anticipate Beck's not playing now, to avoid any potential letdown later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxialac Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 I've heard quite a few 'Beck isn't coming' rumours but the fact is he's playing in Paris on Saturday and is free the previous two days. Doesn't seem unreasonable to think he could make it. Maybe they'll up the ante on the surprise Primavera this year and one of the headliners will be a surprise who they'll hold back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that Passtheaux confirmed he's not playing actually makes me more confident that he'll be here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The announcement by Gabi was that it will be released mid January so all points to next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He first said end of November, and later mid January, and last thing he said was that they gave themselves a deadline of end of January. So who knows, can be any day from next Monday to January 31st Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're already past mid January so it probably points to not being a relevant piece of information anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickeyJJ Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 Imagine we will get the lineup once they've scrambled enough last minute acts to release it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orens Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 In the meantime, Ty Segall's new album (and his longest - 74 minutes over 19 tracks) is streaming in npr. Looking at his tour, he's PS-bound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least you're not flying from the Isle of Man, even getting to England is expensive because that's the TT Race period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They absolutely would like to yes, but trust me, that is absolutely not always the case. There's one of two reasons that the PS poster hasn't been released yet: 1.) They are unable to announce one of the headline acts because they are restrictions on doing so 2.) They haven't confirmed all of the acts as of yet. It's looking like the latter of those two is the delay, unless there is a seriously'left-field' headline that hasn't been widely considered. This is no comment on the quality of the lineup that we will get, it just takes longer to dot the I's and cross the t's than it ever has before, Gabi said as much himself, what some publicists and promoters ask for is beyond ridiculous, they are also liable to play competing festivals off against each other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it's a matter of taste, but give me The National, Bjork, Nick Cave any day. Jack White and Arctic Monkeys are a much better fit with the lad rock crowd Mad Cool will pull in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next week is Arctic Monkeys week. If you want to include your biggest headliner and bring the complete poster all at once then you have to wait until Arctic Monkeys announcement day..

Most of Mad Cool is very predictable, no matter how big the names are. I just thought Jack White would suit the bill at Primavera over Mad Cool. Would definitely take The National, Nick Cave etc over Pearl Jam and QOTSA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
