    I hate the crowd-stereotyping that's been going on around here. Nothing good will come out of that.

    You shouldn't focus on bands people like, as you obviously don't know most of the crowd.

    Agreed.

    Plus. It's a bloody festival. Lighten up!

    The Radio X announcement, as someone mentioned above, leans towards an official announcement of Arctic Monkeys return, if this is a new album/ single (bloody hell, that's going to be playlisted on every radio station going) and then the festivals will get announced afterwards...

    I think they will be playing everywhere, as many festivals as possible, and by the looks of things exclusivity isn't an issue (potentially why Primavera have booked them/ dont have budget restraints). In a similar way The National and Bjork seem to be touring constantly this summer at most major festivals, but just in a higher headlining capacity (the kind of spot The Killers are churning out in the more commercial festivals).

    AM have the crossover appeal to cater for the mainstream, and the kudos to play a festival like Primavera. We all know the undercard will be amazing, which is what makes Primavera brilliant, and a stand out compared to the likes of Mad Cool (though they have rinsed their budget on lot's of good names) so no need for any exclusivity, they're just embargoed 'till the 29th.

    Gabi admitted in one of the chats somewhere (I believe so anyway) that the one act he regrets missing out on was AM so it all makes sense. With them playing loads of festivals I imagine it would reduce the "pissed up Brits" everyones banging on about to a minimum. I'll just be a pissed up Brit watching someone like King Woman or Deafheaven or some other weird metal band that are playing on the Adidas stage at 4am

    I'd genuinely be surprised if AM aren't announced at this stage. Too much coincidences. 

    I don't even particularly like them, but I'm so invested in this by now that I'll be let down if they're not up there on Monday haha

    I'm in the same boat (plane?), let's go! Can't remember I've been so hyped for a monday before.

    I have enough faith in previous lineups to not be too nervous. And if all else fails - at least the city's nice?!

    There are actually seven days, with Monday and Tuesday only having a couple of club gigs at night. Wednesday and Sunday are also great, you should see the day splits before deciding on it.

    Interesting.. I'm afraid to leave booking flights and hotels until after the day splits go up so will probably just chance it

    I really feel the late announcement is a strong indicator arctic monkeys will be playing.

     

    also.. It's my first time heading primavera and I'm finding the timetabling super confusing. If the main festival is on the 31st to the 2nd, are the other two days worth attending? Do any of the main acts play those days?
