  1. This can’t be the final line up… can it?! It looks unfinished & i remember these guys boasting an equally stacked poster as Primavera (size, not always quality). Taking back all my initial underwhelming feelings towards the Primavera line up this year!
  2. Some of the garbage being posted recently, I’m just thankful that the real snowflakes on here aren’t the ones booking the festival. thanks for all the recommendations being posted, bring on 2024!
  3. Well I guess an underwhelming Primavera is still a good Primavera. No Devo or surprises like Mr Bungle, Fiona Apple, Max Richter etc... but then again Lana, PJ Harvey, Pulp, Clipse, BADBADNOTGOOD, Freddie Gibbs & Madlib plus Jessica Pratt I'm more than happy with.
  4. I wouldn't say it's that much of a leap from the pop punk stuff on Sour, but I think she is very likely.
  5. Ah ok, well they seem like a perfect fit for the festival & in other European countries they are doing 2 or 3 cities whereas Spain is Madrid only, so seems like a good bet I'd say
  6. I'm pretty sure this was already discussed but I'm assuming Paramore are 99% 'confirmed'?
  7. Forget the Taylor Swift pipe dreams, I'm calling Talking Heads Primavera 2024 https://pitchfork.com/news/talking-heads-to-regroup-for-spike-lee-qanda-at-tiff-share-trailer-for-stop-making-sense-restoration-watch/
  8. I really hope so, been on my wish list for a few years now & they've added more US dates for end of year, could easily go into next year I think
  9. Can imagine we will see Olivia Rodrigo next year, or at least I can see Primavera attempting to book her
  10. I'll be very surprised if we get Madrid 2024 but we will see
  11. So the Madrid edition just a one off given their press release. Primavera Sound Madrid 2023 is part of the celebrations that Primavera Sound is holding for its twentieth anniversary.
  12. Yeah, really hope we get Lana Del Rey now after that Glastonbury set - gutted for the people there & having 6 or so songs cut due to curfew, but unlike Frank, it looked like she really cared & felt bad for being so late.
  13. Me neither, I would have thought we should have it by now
  14. They did a radically different edition (for Primavera) in 2019 & it was a little divisive - I thought it was a great move & would welcome it again. 2012 they booked a ton of metal acts, was a bit of a head scratcher that Primavera were booking them, but it introduced in a new crowd (like 2019), and created a fantastic atmosphere. Let's hope 2024 looks a little different again (along with the big hitters we all want to see of course!).
  15. I really hope you are right. Been on my wishlist for a long time but I see the farewell tour is this year (with European dates), so left them off. Unless it is a 'farewell tour'
  16. Lana Del Ray, PJ Harvey, Jenny Lewis, Janelle Monae, Bjork, Jessica Pratt, Bob Mould, Deerhoof, Flying Lotus, U.S. Girls, Party Dozen, Chat Pile, Madlib, Arthur Verocai(??) - all acts that have either played before or that I can see happening. Outside bets / wish list - Ween, The Feelies, Jonathan Richman, Faith No More (or Mr Bungle?), Max Richter, Danny Elfman, D'Angelo, The Roots, Tindersticks
  17. I thought they were great in Barcelona - coming off the back off Litvrgy too & they still sounded as ferocious - was a bit slow to the fact they used to be Girl Band, so only really knew their latest album.
  18. I just know from the experience of last year & that what you read online vs actually being there (goes for everything obv) - is a very different thing. But yeah, you've convinced me not to do Madrid. I'll stick with the classic model.
  19. I love Barcelona too much to trade it in for Madrid, but I've never been to Madrid so it's pure ignorance on my part, just don't want to take the gamble if I'm honest. Will be interesting to see if they continue Madrid next year. Sounds like people on the ground are having a blast & as usual it's the socials spreading the usual bullshit. 8000 ticket sales & OMG it's another Fyre Fest... whatever.
  20. So sorry for the Madrid people, I had this at Benicassim 2009, 2nd Day cancelled because of weather, but happened whilst on site & everyone was evactuated - the next 2 days went ahead & it was amazing.
  21. We always stay in the Gothic Quarter, but what helped this year was actually staying until 5am each day & jumping on the metro, those shuttle buses last year were no fun, whereas the metro (even though packed on the Fri night), was a breeze. Always try & get back on site by 5pm next day. The Mercado de La Boqueria just off of Las Ramblas is great for a quick pick me up & make the most of that 10 journey metro pass, plus the Auditori good for a break too (and clean toilets). Definitely more shattered this year after just 1 weekend, versus the 2 weekends last year, so yeah... getting old!
  22. Always love coming on here & reading the comments post festival. Thought this year was fantastic, been attending since 2010 (had to miss 2017 & skipped 2018), but this year was up there with the greats. The magic has not been lost! As someone else said, last year (or lets say DAY), was a blip. It was SO easy getting around this year, getting food, drink & meeting back up with friends. I was a little worried after the BITS area was lost, but not having that trek & the quieter site (except for Sat), meant it was far less work moving from stage to stage. The bleed from Pull & Bear to the big stages was a little odd, thought it would be the other way round but also forgetting it was mainly electronic rather than a mix of bands. Loved the Auditori being part of the festival & not having to come back in through the gates. Dice access behind the mixing desk a nice touch too. Highlights were Pet Shop Boys opening day (oh and Confidence Man being the perfect warm up), left halfway through Emeralds for the end of Built to Spill on Dice (Goin' Against Your Mind into Carry the Zero), TURNSTILE easily a highlight & exceeding my hype, filled that stage & awesome crowd, Boris were fun in the Auditori too & then New Order. Le Tigre's mix was poor at first but definitely improved. Soul Glo were pretty intense Fri afternoon, Delgados into Sparks was heaven, LOVED Karate (missing Depeche Mode felt like the right decision after their set), also caught a few opening songs from Alvvays & they sounded brilliant. Four Tet was fun but Fridays all timer has to be Kyary Pamyu Pamyu ('this is my last song, BOO HOO!' ha! - what a show) - Unwound & then Channel Tres both so different but equally as good. DOMi & JD Beck were a real surprise on the Sat, fantastic set. Wasn't mad on John Cale so made the move to My Morning Jacket as the sun was setting, bliss. Really enjoyed St Vincent into Caroline Polachek, ears being pounded (even with earplugs!) by Litvrgy, and then again by Gilla Band. Mala in the warehouse was good but knackered me out for JPEGMAFIA, so took advantage of Saturdays all night metro. Also shoutout to Bala who opened Cupra on the Friday, a real joy to watch. Oh & the Japanese Breakfast show at Razzmatazz, great closer.
  23. Arthur Verocai, so gutted - selfishly. Health reasons so hope he is ok.
