Ah I see
-
There's a lineup poster for some South American fest in 2024 a couple pages back in this thread with them playing.
-
Says Netsky? Belgian producer
-
When was the lineup drop rumoured again? Also is Porto announced same day/week after from memory?
-
Talking heads are possibly performing on late night with Steve Colbert. Perhaps some news of a tour will follow
-
I see Fleet Foxes are support act for the Nationals Oz shows march next year.

I'm glad as a political scientist I assume you're educated enough to know when I say vote with their feet it's used in the context of if you like a lineup buy a ticket and if not then don't.

A sense of community. I usually have some beers, watch some good bands, meet some nice people and ride the wave of the crowd. Where there's arts and talks I engage in. That's as much community as I get at Primavera. And got the same at the commercial type fests too. Are there people that go to fests that sit around and play oppression bingo like they could by going on twitter any day of the year?

You've heard the expression before no?

Yep you're completely right with your example of it's my party. Of course promoters are allowed to book who they want and of course they can continue to do so. But people in general are bending to influence on what is and isn't acceptable quite easy. I say book Roisin, and maybe Gabi would too. But face the backlash from a very vocal and social media savvy minority. Perhaps not

People vote with their feet. By not platforming people who views you do not share you're not giving people a chance to think for themselves and say ok I won't go see Kanye because I think his views are reprehensible. It's like an promoter saying, these are my views and therefore these should be your views too. Do we think that if Kanye if invited we are suddenly going to get a lot of skinheads abusing people or if Arcade fire is invited that alot of guys who can't control their hands are going to feel empowered to act like that at a festival. I don't really think so. On the subject it seems to be ok to have let's say an anti police/establishment/man/conservative whatever status quo acceptable group sentiment with bands. sometimes I get bowled over with the amount of double think involved.

Been thinking on this, maybe music festivals should back out of the politics of the day and focus on music. And if the people buy tickets then they've voted with their feet. If people are convicted of crimes or in the middle of a court case then yes blacklist them from being platformed. We can all agree we don't want to see Gary Glitter taking to a stage anytime soon. are we going to never see the likes of Arcade Fire, Kanye on stage again as they once were, or Travis Scott (for allegedly inciting deaths) or Matt Healy (1975) saying something controversial, or Morrissey, or a whole host of rappers being homophobic and the list goes on and on. Or Lizzo supposedly abusing her dancers. Musicians are some of the most flawed people going. if I don't like Kanye because he is/was an anti semite doesn't mean others will hold the same opinion as me in such a high regard.

People keep mentioning anti trans. In her view it's more pro child protection issue. Two separate issues. She is supportive of adults being Trans as far as her statements/history reads. It's a case of 2 + 2 = 5 I don't know what anti trans statement she has said. Can anyone quote where she has anti trans ideations?
-
As far as I'm aware and have been reading into it, she's not anti trans. She has concerns about puberty blockers and medical interventions on children. She's of the camp that adults can make informed decisions but children cannot.

Loved their last album. Caught them in Dublin. Definitely not in decline imo
-
If he did play I don't see it being a large festival appearance. Even if it's auditori.
-
Fest festival has applied for bankruptcy.

Grimes looks like a good show, wee snip of her live https://twitter.com/Grimezsz/status/1683126751080202240?t=7-eysknCjnwmDENbtwH8wg&s=19

Go solo, no rules. Have fun

They force you to shave outside the gates and dump the rest. Joke: have no idea

Sunshine hostel or whatever it's called? Edit: sunset destination
-
Think I'm for Bilbao this year. Hopefully avoid a pop overdose. Usually Mad cool/Nos Alive takes the more mainstream bands over that weekend But yeah agree that lineup looks very realistic.
