How is anyone still booking arcade fire as others have said, one look at other euro and UK festivals, once all announced, will make primavera look strong in comparison.

Was someone selling an early bird ticket? If so, hit me up

Overall i do think they have done a good job with the lineup given the hand they’ve been played. there is, as ever, something for everyone from Lana and SZA for the kids and the likes of justice, phoenix, disclosure, vampire weekend for those of us that are no longer kids. Pulp and PJ Harvey classic names finally back. Exclusives of more contemporary names like fka twigs, jai paul. Something no one expected in deftones and clipse. Then, as ever, just a wealth of range of styles across almost the entire musical spectrum on the undercard just waiting to be discovered. model actriz and mandy indiana are must sees, that i have seen in UK small venues. They have done the rounds but you’ll never have a bad show from amyl & the sniffers. I didnt realise who beth gibbons was till i started exploring the lineup! I dont care for them but i have big national fans as friends and they are the perfect headliner for the prima audience. At the end of the day you’re buying a ticket to a musical melting pot. Not just to see a handful of big names! And if its not for you, maybe next time? I could see this becoming a sneaky classic edition. Feels like theyre taking it back into a mid 2010s type lineup and trying to keep the hardcore year in year out attendees happy. The festival had grown far too large in 2022 and 2023 was therefore a bit of a reset, with 2024 completing that reset into still large but manageable total capacity / size. Plus the less calvin harris and maneskin the better 🙂

Ok this looks absolutely unmissable and im not a big rap fan. Thanks for sharing! I do remember them from the early mid 00s but didnt know if theyd be great live or just riding a few big hits. This looks seriously good.
-
Nice who do we think shoo in for auditori? basinski beth gibbons? a few more someone else will be able to suggest im sure
-
Please stop 😂 just absurd now
-
Exactly. also each opinion is unique. For example kendrick and fred again do nothing for me personally, whilst recognising that in many circles they are huge and culturally significant. I would not have watched them. Pulp, PJ Harvey and Justice are artists ive not seen for 7-10 years and will look forward to seeing again. Especially since the first 2 are £60 each shows here in the UK and i have not caught either so far since their return to live. we can only hope that justice are not placed in mordor, although they probably will be. PJ and Pulp obviously a lock for mordor sadly.

It was never at all going to happen and was a ridiculous suggestion to begin with
-
The only incentive to change is bad press i reckon its indisputable that some tickets were bought via backdoor methods but the full extent will never be made public however the festival will be aware and looking to hold See responsible for ensuring it doesnt happen again
-
Good stuff! Enjoy
-
Its back big time this year. All cloak and dagger behind the scenes but seen enough to know its been used reasonably significantly. Sadly it just adds to the disappointment and frustration.
-
CF didnt buy their own ticket, said on social media with these group spreadsheets only 1 person in say 100 needs to know the hosts file trick
-
Its definitely going to be in the thousands of tickets sold this way say for example 2k tickets went this way: 2000 / 6 = 333 orders how many ppl have heard of those using the backdoor getting 4, 5 or 6 groups? I have. conservative estimate 3 or 4 groups per “hacker” = 333 / 3 or 4 so 83 to 111 people total doing it. you cant convince me only 90 or so people did it. Its got to be more given how widespread the info is. i am not well connected and know at least the discord mods and another acquantaince who had someone buy a ticket for him this way. Also the video doing the rounds on twitter. my educated guess is anything up to 5k or even more sold like this not wanting to single them out but for example how is crazyfool’s syndicate reporting 100% success on 15 groups? Someone has clearly gone in like this if you ask me.
-
I would like to see them do something to ensure that it can’t happen again otherwise it really opens up an unfair advantage and potential black market in “i can get you glasto tickets” Dont mind if its a lottery type sale like it is now, but it needs to be a truly level playing field
-
What prior booking at any primavera makes you think they’d go after her? its not their style really at all. is she even touring? Its just a classic type of name you get on fake posters that has absolutely no basis in reality and it makes me laugh.
-
What form does primavera have for booking anything like Kylie? Absolutely none. they book old indie and modern pop / rap but very little old pop. Yeah she has had recent albums but no one wants to hear songs from them live. Just an unrealistic suggestion imo as prima have no form for booking the likes of her. She also rarely ever does festivals. Not sure how relevant 2015 is.
-
Kylie at prima is hilarious no chance It would be amazing tho
-
Unfortunately accom prices and flight prices have ruined primavera barcelona for me as a brit now. Pure greed by all parties. You’d struggle to do the whole thing comfortably & fun for less than a grand per person accom, fights, tickets, food & drink.
-
Worth bearing in mind you cant get the metro back on thurs or fri unless you stay out until around 5am I think its only a 24hr service on the saturday Never tried the buses, usually stay poblenou and walk but its still kinda far when youre knackered end of night. Staying near the forum is the best but comes with a silly price tag and you need to book 11-12 months in advance. Our friends do it but its their main luxury of the year. you will likely find it really hard and expensive to get a taxi home too.
-
She will cut them a very good deal. Friend of the festival, therefore gets it and the charity aspect, first time headlining. The shows elsewhere are for the money. This will be for the love & the coverage of which you can’t buy. extensive arena dates in the winter off the back of it i reckon (as i don’t see her as a stadium act) Coldplay will also do it for expenses i reckon so probably frees then up for several briefcases of cash to chase madonna as a “now or never” others years you may not get acts like dua and coldplay that will take a hit on the fee so much. The third headliner does need to be really strong in such a scenario though.
-
Ah yes she was always a shoo-in but that confirms it now wonder which of coldplay and madonna arent doing it then, as i still believe emily when she immediately flat out denied it.
-
Cant see how the national arent the sunday with those dates. Nailed on. They’ll not be back on the pyramid after last time and anywhere else is a bit small for them. dont think you can ever rule out friends of the festival chemical brothers as they’ll likely do it for peanuts. then yes you need a female headliner really to go with those two.
-
She may only feel the need to do it once as well and has at least 20 years of her career left
-
Agreed. She will do it at some point but there is no pressure for it to be any time soon. Incredible to think how far she has come since 2019 / Lover album willing to play euro festivals to just 4 years later being by far the hottest ticket in the world to the point where no amount of shows she could physically perform would even be close enough to satisfying demand.
-
I dont agree at all, she cant outright deny the trio within 12 hours and they actually turn out to be correct the prediction is obviously wrong. It could easily be 2/3rds correct of course.
