    Hi @Yaniv297. Good work and pretty much agree with your guesses.

    That's what I can't figure out either. Will they put AC on at the same time to relieve what might otherwise be a dangerous crowd situation (and that's why I don't think you can read too much into what happened last couple of years)?

    Will it annoy AC to play to a small crowd (compared to if they play after Radiohead)?

    Won't find out til May!

    I agree with you about surely wanting to offer an attractive alternative to limit overcrowding but think that would mean putting one of the headliners on the Rayban at the same time, as no one from the subs that day is a big draw. 

    Last Shadow Puppets would make the most sense if they go for this strategy.

    Thanks beatkeeper. Not great being (wrongly) contradicted by someone you've gone to some trouble to help (I also checked that the purchase would go all the way through).

    On a Primavera tip again, some acts don't translate well to a live setting. As much as I love some of Beach House's music, they're not the most engaging live.

    Anyone have any tips for this year's bands that are better live than on record? Thee Oh Sees and Boredoms spring to mind...Who else?

    How did you persuade your mates to come to sunny and cultured barcelona by the beach on the Mediterranean and hang out at gin bars and rooftop afterparties full of attractive latin women, whilst watching the best festival lineup in the world anywhere in recent years?

    I'm just being contrarian but I think any kind of ticket touting is unreasonable, even if not by initial design.

    If you're a fan of music and you can't go, you can sell the ticket to another fan, make them happy and get all of your money back. Seems like a win-win.

    OK, fair play but there are still so many reasons why they might not get booked. Maybe their agent told the organisers he thought Catalan food was terrible, maybe he didn't answer their emails because they went into his spam folder, maybe he lied about something, maybe he tried to play Benicassim and PV against one another to get them into a bidding war and upset both parties, maybe it was the other way round and the organisers upset the agent, maybe they dithered too long...who on earth knows what goes on behind the scenes...
