Whatever surprises there will be, I doubt something drops tomorrow. The wording in the newsletter suggests that we got the lineup early (probably because of the leak).

No, the live stream was supposed to run until tomorrow..

It's unlikely it was idles themselves who leaked it. Their account will have loads of different people who use it eg pr people and the label. Was probably a case of the label trying to schedule a tweet for 5pm tomorrow (or whatever the time was) and getting the date wrong 

There's zero excuse for something like this. Primavera has never had a leak before in its history. If everyone else can manage, why can't they.

That's what I'm saying. It dropped earlier than expected -> they had planned for tomorrow -> no surprise incoming. 

[Olivedal 1904]

The Wednesday seems unusually strong with Spiritualized, Wolf Parade and Belle & Sebastian.

The lack of noisier bands is disappointing. 

Saturday with Slowdive, Deerhunter, Watain, Sumac,  Lift to Experience and Car Seat Headrest looks great.

Tickets are still on sale right now at the old price of 180 euros. Going up by 35 euros tomorrow. So some people will buy their ticket at the old price having seen the lineup, which wasn't the plan.

i was expecting GY!BE to be back to primavera this year

It’s called a mistake and we all make them

It's unbelievably selfish to leak something that was under strict embargo, when all your peers are managing to do so and potentially opens you up to litigation.

[clement75009]

I'm disappointed about the lack of Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Courtney Barnett, Fleet Foxes. And about Arctic Monkeys being first on the bill, although I'm sure I'll enjoy them.  

[LiamMcMillen]

I'm not surprised they announced the line up because of the leak, but I'm surprised they were allowed to? Wouldn't Arctic Monkeys want to keep all their announcements to tomorrow?

If I were in the organising team I would be furious.

They've invested their lives into this festival, have spent the best part of a year planning and finetuning it, trying in the end to choreograph a final unveiling only for some selfish twat who should know better to leak it.

[LeFreak]

Better than I expected, headliners don't interest me too much but was pleasantly surprised to see HAIM and Slowdive on there. Lots of great electronic acts and DJs as well. Still undecided whether to go or not..

[ghostdancer1]

The National and The War on Drugs both won Grammys tonight.

[xxialac]

Courtney Barnett would be a logical one for the 'Unexpected' role.

How can you be undecided with sooo much quality there in the line-up?  I've had to let this sink in for a while right now I'm totally freaking out. I guess I won't get much sleep tonight - too hyped up. What a fantastic undercard!

What if organizers fucked it up and told Idles they can post the lineup and announcement when they post a video?

I mean, I'm reaching here. But who the fuck knows what happened 

[Olivedal 1904]

Would have loved to see The Men and The Sea and the Cake on the main days.

We heard about Arctic Monkeys from a specific individual too. This shit happens.

[bananaa52]

[cortomaltese]

I was curious and i just checked it..Just for the record, the price from midnight (local time) went to 215.

It was a poster with some mistakes (early draft?) and watermarked with Idles. That's not something you will mistakenly tweet too early, or those PR/management people are even weirder than I can imagine. And the video came shortly afterwards, probably as a reaction from PS. 

At least I won't forget the name Idles for a while and give it a good listen tomorrow.

I'm from California and already have my tickets but have yet to book flights, accommodations, etc. Been wanting to attend for years. This isn't the 2016 mind-blown lineup I was still kinda holding out for but it's very very solid and even without knowing all the acts I can tell the undercard is very strong. Part of me is like "what if you'll like the 2019 lineup more" but I could play that game forever and never go. 

Mad Cool's still tempting me but I don't think the undercard there is nearly as strong and I've seen all the headliners there already, half in the last year. Plus there's so many unknowns with Mad Cool re: the new venue, increased attendance, logistics, etc. 

So technically I'm still "undecided" though inching closer and closer to just going for it.

Probably but I'm not sure AM can really kick up that much of a fuss when it's only been released a few hours early
