  1. Really looking forward to this. Last year was my first edition and I enjoyed it much more than some other highly regarded major festivals. Some really nice mid-tier acts touring UK/Europe around the end of Aug. Hope we get some of Sofia Kourtesis, Royel Otis, Mdou Moctar, Confidence Man, Floating Points, Ty Segal etc. Although to me, there’s easily my moneys worth of acts I want to see over the 4 days already 👌
  2. Bit early to judge the undercard as feeble - last year they added Boygenius, Christine & The Queens, Amyl & The Sniffers, L’Imperatrice, Romy, Bonobo, Viagra Boys, Ethel Cain, Gaz Coombes, Altin Gun, Brutus, Young Fathers, Overmono etc etc etc way after the initial announcement. Most of which are far better acts than I can find on Primavera 2024 Friday or Saturday of imo.
  3. Eugh somehow that day-by-day breakdown now makes the lineup look even less flattering imo. There’s next to nothing I want to see on the Friday aside from 1 or 2 acts I could see locally for £20 or under. Keanu Reeves quickly becoming a highlight for me that day… Wed & Thu look really fun but I’m afraid the buzz will quickly taper off when followed by two fairly weak/anticlimactic days (in my eyes). Even the Sun brunch is far from interesting to me this year. Will need to have a long hard think about wether this year is for me at all 😬
  4. Massive Attack touring makes seeing Disclosure on the poster even more agitating…
  5. On a side note, I’ve just listened to Stella Maris for the first time 😅 All I’ll say is seeing them, Tropical Fu*ck Storm and Phoenix back-to-back-to-back as the introductory day is the sort of random mix of emotions that I do love about this festival.
  6. Could the lack of daysplits be down to PS judging how popular the lineup is as of now? If fansale registration numbers are low and first week sales are poor, perhaps 5-10 of the lowest-tier acts could be shifted to the Ciutat gigs and a few new/bigger names added to the main festival prior to splits? Either way I’m not going to rush and buy a ticket this year as the majority feeling in my friend groups (and seemingly socials/forums/reddit) is that of disappointment. I think it could be easy to get a bargain ticket perhaps the month before the festival as I do not see a resold ticket getting anywhere near face value for this edition..
  7. I’m so shocked Fever Ray isn’t there
  8. Death Cab aren’t playing.. You correctly guessed a handful of acts, much like everyone else on this forum
  9. Well, YunT was full of crap. So much for Janes Addiction & Kylie
  10. Excited for tomorrow. Loved the double weekend in 2022 (and being part of its 3 year hype on this forum) but missed 2023 as the lineup wasn’t too my taste. Ending up massively regretting that decision when the livestreams started. I only watched TWOD & Sparks before deciding it’s best to avoid the footage and just commit to 2024. There isn’t too many headline acts touring that I would care about if I’m honest. I’ve never listened to SZA, Karol G or most of the others being thrown around anyway. It would probably be Massive Attack & Aphex Twin top of my wish list. It’s the undercard I’m excited for this year! Hoping for Fever Ray, Air, Melody’s Echo Chamber & Kneecap 🤞
  11. Fever Ray replied on their AMA to a comment asking about Primavera 2024 with ‘Let’s See❤️’
  12. Florence + The Machine are out. Cypress Hill replacing.

    Could anyone kindly inform if chosing a particular departure city can improve/reduce your chances of success? If I’m lucky, I would be travelling over from Ireland so it wouldn’t make much of a difference. Not sure if say Liverpool would have less requests compared to say Bristol. Or perhaps the system doesn’t work like this at all!
  14. Very poor line-up. That Saturday is shockingly crap. I think the highlight that day would be seeing Frodo Baggins DJ under 'Wooden Wisdom'
