Not very much. Pitchfork is the smallest. Primavera is a little bigger, and the Ray Ban is a kinda cool scene with amphitheater. I will guess that the Primavera and Ray Ban has the same audience limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Ban has the magic of the Mediterranean backdrop, stairs for seating and fantastic views everywhere. Tends to be relatively uncrowded until late and then very crowded.

timeforheroes Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 Googled a few of them street food vendors and look class. Was always so lacking on the food front so this is exciting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The terraces are ace, go there for one of the sunset concerts. Also worth mentioning that the Pitchfork stage is curated in co-ordination with Pitchfork. That is the festival's lone stage which isn't fully curated by the team itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watain/Deerhunter clash and partial clash UMO/TWOD but the rest looks really good. Having to choose between The National/Thudercat and Mogwai/Shellac would devastate me! I suppose because of the quality of the lineup this will be a reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main purpose of having a timetable is to see who clashes but this is all guesswork at this stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

April 6th Hinds Ross From Friends EP Tom Misch Unknown Mortal Orchestra April 13th Confidence Man May 4th DJ Koze Jon Hopkins May 11th Beach House May 25th Chvrches Father John Misty is releasing his next album on Friday, June 1st (the day he plays PS). Oneohtrix Point Never will release that same day but is scheduled to perform on the Saturday. Obviously Arctic Monkeys on May 11th, plus The Sea and Cake that day. Chromeo, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever will release on June 15th, so expect to hear new material. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxialac Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Father John Misty has two new songs. Bit underwhelmed by them at first listen, feels like re-treading too much old territory, but might be growers. Regardless, he's a spellbinding performer.

timeforheroes Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Wasn't that keen on total entertainment either. Felt it was too one paced compared to honeybear. As said above he's a brilliant performer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've read the album is just a collection of tracks rather than any sort of project or new artistic direction so I wouldn't expect anything too groundbreaking from it. That being said it's still really good seeing someone of his caliber being able to release a record so quickly after his last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orens Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 The album has been released by accident on iTunes/Apple Music, so it's out there for anyone curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"He went on to describe his last two albums as “pretentious” and “squarely concept records”, stating that his next LP will instead have “kinda spritely BPMs”." I didn't say it wasn't a new album, I said that from what I've read he's not taking a new artistic direction therefore not to expect anything groundbreaking as you stated that you were underwhelmed by the two tracks released today. Can't find the quote as it was from a video but to paraphrase he said the new songs stick to a more traditional verse/chorus structure closer to 'Fear Fun' than 'Pure Comedy' and going by the 3 singles he's released you would probably have to agree.

addicted2noise Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Uncut have compared the new Arctic Monkeys album to FJM in their review of it (it's mainly piano based songs about LA apparently) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThisIsHappening Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 (edited) I'll be arriving in Barcelona on Monday and probably try to catch the show for The Men that evening. I'm guessing it'll be possible to pickup wristbands for the fest that evening? Also, any recommendations for good bars/restaurants near the fest? Also, does Sunday usually have anything worth sticking around for shows? I was possibly doing a day trip to Montserrat Sunday, but if there's enough going on I might switch it to another day.

Yeah, didn't like them either at first listen. I really liked her previous albums, so a bit disappointed at these singles. Hope the rest are better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
