Yes, my reading of the rules is that day ticket holders (VIP or standard) are treated as general public when it comes to Ciutat tickets and you will have to wait until May 10 to buy. There will a limited number of tickets for each event set aside for May 10 sale.

If you have a reservation, there shouldn't be a problem. I didn't get to Jockstrap til 1am last year.

I think what you are referring to is the replacement for the P&B dance stage from last year. In the past there was a "hidden stage" (in the underground car park, where the Warehouse stage is now) and later on one of the the grassy knolls. As has been said, they've hosted some great shows and their late addition added a bit of excitement given the line-up was out months earlier. I also agree that with the loss of Sant Adrià and PS pushing capacity numbers to the max, it's a struggle to see where it would go. We still don't know where the new P&B will be ...

If I'm reading this right, Razz is in Mon/Tues/Wed but not the Sunday https://www.primaverasound.com/en/news/primavera-sound-amplifica-la-explosion-musical-de-su-proxima-edicion-con-la-programacion-de-primavera-a-la-ciutat-de-la-mano-del-santander

80% (if you take it as truth) still leaves a lot of full price tickets to be sold with plenty available cheaper "second-hand". The limited extra run of Friday tickets still hasn't sold out. At this stage surely only locals or the deep of pocket abroad can come for the weekend. NB I want PS to do well but some extra elbow room would be nice! I also dislike the new Mordor set-up. I feel it was done to make things easier for the backstage crew etc and not to improve the fan experience. I think it has had a detrimental effect on crowd behaviour as in the past people waiting on the next show and with no interest in the artist currently playing would be at the far end of the arena instead of taking up space at the live show and, in some cases, annoying those watching.

Interview (in Spanish) with PS co-director Alfonso Lanza in Barcelona newspaper La Vanguardia https://www.lavanguardia.com/cultura/musica/20240321/9575757/alfonso-lanza-primavera-sound-director-entrevista-novedades.html Decent read though no great revelations. They have sold 80% of tickets so it will be sold out, ie 65/70k a day [not sure this is a given, myself] Overall happy with stage arrangements from last year Tough competing with the mega multinational promoters but PS independence/kudos is also an advantage Costs always rising, €30m budget for artists plus production. Artist fees have more than doubled in last 10 yrs Ticket revenue lower than last year because so many bought early doors, 55/60% from outside Spain Great relations with BCN town hall, contract til 2026. Both parties recognise no forum means no Primavera. Any issues are more to do with noise, crowds etc bothering locals Happy with current number/distribution of days in festival Brexit was a blow but situation has improved this year other stuff about latin america and music industry in general. more than 10 cities interested in hosting a PS event incl in Germany and Sweden

Yeah, not much to report really. Confirmed Pull & Bear stage gone because of sound leaks but there will be, in addition to the boiler room, a new electronica stage (of sorts) with names yet to be announced. Said 12 stages in total but wasn't too sure. Some choices for Auditori might surprise you: both who's there and who isn't. Bike parking space (dunno if this is news or not). Implied Justice and Disclosure will close Mordor. More streaming of shows via Amazon Prime. Tiny stages along waterfront will be back.

KuTso and Las Petunias look real https://www.instagram.com/kutsoguardi/ https://www.instagram.com/laspetuniaslalala/

I saw a story recently about the town hall looking at building something at the Forum but thought it was Mordor. PS said if it happened, the festival at the forum would become unviable.

In 2023 you reserved online about two weeks beforehand, v straightforward. I imagine it will be the same in 2024 but don't expect any details until April/May. https://www.primaverasound.com/en/barcelona/primavera-sound-barcelona-2023-reservations-information

15 mins to go then?
-
they mentioned the first "Primavera" gigs in Bcn in 1994 which included a band called Patrullero Mancuso
-
countdown does indicate 10am but i'd say that refers to start of radio show and doors for the event don't open til 10am so the reveal will have to be a little later: 11/12? I don't think the event will be anything more than a Radio PS broadcast with analysis/chat and interviews with some senior PS staff and possibly a local artist on the bill and maybe some giveaway prizes for audience. If i was in town and at loose end, I'd go (it's full anyway)

Isn't there usually a link to one of the performing artists though? eg I'll be your mirror - John Cale. Otherwise "you are not ready for this" is just a bland, off-the-shelf slogan (also a possibility!)

Barcelona on the Thursday or Saturday too, surely?
