Definitely can see Nils playing and in the Auditori - perhaps even ticketed. His new album is now streaming.

Totally agree, Auditori, ticketed and probably 2 times. For me it is sth big.

Kamasi is playing Razzmatazz on middle May, so we can rule him out. he was there on 2016, so no reason to return that early

There's a Barcelona date in there.

Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever have announced a European tour though. No Spanish date, finishes on Thursday of Primavera, etc.

I could see Sparks playing the Wednesday opening gig - they'd fit in a Saint Etienne/Suede type slot.

My nan's shagging the bloke from sparks. They're headlining Wednesday and playing auditori same as suede did

 

Doom been putting out some new stuff crumbs what an undercard that would be

You must realise how much bigger than Saint Etienne they were/are though?

It's Blitz! is their finest work also.

They are a little bigger than St Etienne and probably more so with the thirty somethings nostalgic for that dull period in the earlier 2000s that are a large part of the Primavera crowd. Although, weren't St Etienne promoted to headliners in 2012 when Bjork pulled out?

But the question is whether YYYs are too big for Wednesday Night, and I'd say they're not too big. Not compared to Suede, Goat, St Etienne etc that have played that night recently.

Didn't see the barcelona date at first try. Sorry.

Nah, they're a lot bigger. 

I know it's not a perfect proxy but last.fm shows figures of 450k listeners for St Etienne and 2.4million for YYYs.

I had hoped for The The to headline Wednesday as they play in Sweden and Denmark on Friday and Saturday and thus might be difficult to fit with travel if playing on Thursday. I will be disappointed if the The The comeback do not feature om PS.

I'd love for The The to play. Ideally in the auditori. But it's not looking good. They actually play in Scandinavia on the Thursday and the Saturday (at least that's what it says on bandsintown which might be wrong)

Last.fm's prime and user group coincided with YYYs demographic. Also it's worldwide, I agree that they're much bigger on the other side of the Atlantic, but Primavera is this side.

The return of The The would be good, but surely not the free concert on the Wednesday.

Fair point.

Breaking news. Big Jeff confirmed.

[ABertran]

Thom Yorke has just been announced for Sonar. So no Thom Yorke for PS :(.

[JedTheHumanoid]

Thom Yorke was announced at Sonar.. bloody hell, another rumor flushed down the toilet

[kingcrawler]

I guess he must just be doing NOS Primavera like Justice last year. Disappointed with that.

Perhaps he'll play in Porto alongside e.g. The The and that's what Gabi meant about Porto going its own way this year.

Gotta be honest: I'm only following this topic (Primavera Sound) as I'm interested in seeing what I'll be getting for my Primavera Sound, which is the NOS one. What did Gabi say exactly?

Normally Porto is a subset of Barcelona with one or so different mid-tier act and sometimes one different headliner.

Sounds like from Gabi's comment Porto will go a different way i.e. the lineups won't look near-identical.

If that's so, it's weird that NPS hasn't yet revealed its line-up. Though I obviously get it that it must be just standard procedure as some of its acts (playing here and in Barcelona) might be spoiled. I'm curious now! Thanks for the info, hoping we'll get Thom Yorke. Regards from Porto!

Porto is the most fantastic city. Was a great decision to host the sister edition there.
