    The 5-day wait, the video teaser (opposed to just a picture like last year) and that “you are not ready for this” slogan make me think this is going to be their most glorious lineup ever. Hope I’m not setting myself up for disapppointment.

    Nick Cave, Taylor Swift, Chemical Brothers

    Talking Heads, The Postal Service, Portishead

    Frank Ocean, Pulp, My Bloody Valentine

     

    it is then?

    So whatever is happening today, lets do a final recap of what we know

    Very Likely/to be confirmed

    Bikini Kill - obvious tourgap, owe a return after cancelling 2022

    Jane's Addiction - play Nova Rock 
    Kali Uchis - plays Roskilde - last time 2019
    Mitski - Europe tour ends on PS Thursday, no Spain dates. Production might be unfit for a festival though
    Tainy - plays Roskilde, was supposed to be at PS 2021
    The National - Very fitting tourgap but were at PS only two years ago

    ruled out

    Nine Inch Nails - not active due to family

    The Smashing Pumpkins - Gabi says no
    Tool - UK dates during PS
    Weezer - Gabi says no

    + Faye Webster (likely, tour stops day before Primavera)

    + The Mountain Goats (probable, in the UK week before Prima)

    + Camera Obscura (probable, UK tour in May)

    - King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard (ruled out, said no Spain show in the tour)

    + everything from Wide Awake and Bearded Theory is probable -> Jane's Addiction, Dinosaur Jr, Bodega, Squid, Crumb, Future Islands, Sleaford Mods, Amyl & The Sniffers, Charlotte Adigéry & Bolis Pupul, Orbital, Young Fathers, Helena Hauff,...)

    I really liked that you walked into Primavera and that's where they announced their Weekender lineup. Obviously doubt anyone is gonna walk into the Weekender and spot the full Barcelona lineup, but I could see them teasing something for anyone who goes.

    Maybe instead of cups with full line ups that you have to collect, every cup at the weekender has a bandname that plays next year.

    That would be a fun stunt (if it's eco-friendly enough), and I think lots of people would drink more. Also think it would do well on social media.

    I mean

    I mean this entire discussion was based on some guy on festileaks making a claim with no sources anyways.

    Changing their socials the day before an headlining act announce a full tour had most to do with the fact we were considering it to be honest.

    They are notorious for charging insane prices for merchandise and tickets. If that applies to their booking fees as well is hard to tell, because those have a different dynamic. If you ask for too much, festivals are simply gonna walk away and book someone else.

    At Rock Werchter a couple of years ago they weren't even a stand-alone headliner. They were co-headlining together with The Cure.

    Primavera isn't Rock Werchter budget-wise. But if they can afford those 2 on the same day...

    Tool is announcing tomorrow, co-ordinated announcement with a PS headline slot.

    crazy conspiracy theory map guy Meme Generator - Imgflip

    Last year they changed their socials on the 3rd of October and the day after they announced Depeche Mode.

    So for huge acts that want to announce their full tour schedule, this idea is not so charlie-crazy as you might think at first.

    I can see it happening!

    I don't think the booking proces has specific boxes like that to tick. If no legacy band like Descendents or Bad Religion is around, there simply isn't gonna be one. Still, its early and many bands that'll be touring next summer haven't been announced anywhere yet.

    I can see PS bring Bane, Incendiary or Gel in terms of Hardcore/Punk, but apart from that, I don't see many fitting bands around. However its not really a core genre, so they could sip it alltogether.

    There's almost every year atleast one band that you can kind of fit in that box (see list below). But indeed Dropkick Murphys does not fit Primavera at all.

    Circle Jerks, Iggy Pop, The Distillers, Turbonegro or Misfits would be a good fit if they're touring.

     

    2023: Bad Religion / Unwound

    2022: Bikini Kill

    2019: Jawbreaker / Stiff Little Fingers

    2018: ?

    2017: Descendents / The Damned

    2016: Drive Like Jehu

  9. Little roundup. All these are around very close to Primavera and I guess atleast 75% is nailed on.

    The National, Pulp, PJ Harvey

    Fontaines DC, Sleaford Mods, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Future Islands, Orbital, Mitski, Jane's Addiction, The Mountain Goats, Faye Webster, IceAge, Richard Hawley, The Paper Kites, Night Beats, Bdrrm, Amyl & The Sniffers, Bob Vylan, Waveform*

    I recall Gabi saying that he doesn't like QOTSA anymore. 

    He also once said that "Hinds weren't his thing and/or he has no intention in bringing them to Primavera". I'm not quoting literally but if I remind correctly, it was something like that. And a year or 2 later they were on (I think) the biggest stage?

    I also can't imagine every act on every Primavera line up ever, is something he likes. Though he's the "big boss", I guess sometimes things get booked he doesn't care about. Which I think is normal for an event that big.

  11. Fu Manchu and All Them Witches could also appear at Primavera I guess? I would definitely go see them, especially Fu.

    And wouldn't mind QOTSA being one of the headliners either. They already did Mad Cool last year... And I would personally prefer them over a lot of the headliner-expectations that are thrown around here.

    I have a feeling that it is going to be a much better year (not only for Primavera but for all the European festivals) than 2023 or even 2022, maybe the best one since pre-covid. A lot of exciting artists are going to tour next year and I feel that it’s going to be a solid and consistent year.

    Yes to some, Bad Bunny, Travis Scott or Karol G seem like terrible artists to book but I still think that even if they book all of these (or part of them) they will still have a good mix of artists at the end. I really think that Gabi and Co. had to bring Calvin Harris/Halsey plus some other questionable bookings because there weren’t many exciting “big” acts touring around last summer, in general it was a crap year for all the European festivals.

    Personally I don't think anything will beat Pavement, The Strokes, Nick Cave, Autechre, Tame Impala, King Gizzard, Gorillaz, Shame, Idles, Black Midi, Beach House, Pond, Parquet Courts, Wet Leg, Dinosaur Jr, Beach Bunny, Black Lips, Fred Again, The National, Warpaint, Beck, Fontaines DC, Porrige Radio, Tropical f**k Storm, Caroline Polachek, Lightning Bolt, Tyler The Cteartor, Diiv, Jawbox, Bauhaus, King Krule,... of Weekend1 in 2022

    I have a question for belgian people: how do manage young people to pay a 250€ ticket for a festival + all the expenses? When I was at high school I coudn't image asking for my parents 50k old spanish pesetas (300€) for going to a festival with my friends. I sure that Belgium is a richer country than Spain, but for me it's unbelievable how much teenage people can enjoy a music festival like Pukkelpop.

    Belgian speaking here: First of all: don't know if Belgium is that much richer than Spain though. But here, it's not uncommon to do holiday jobs from the age of 16 in shops, restaurants, bars, family business,.... So I guess a big part of the youngsters save what they earn for a big holiday or festival with friends. 

    Don't think that many kids are so spoiled to get a ticket for free from their parents.

    The line up still very disappointing, a lot of good bands and artists are sadly out :

    Blur, Mars Volta, Porcupine Tree, Lizzo, Kendrick Lamar, Thundercat, Incubus, Rina Sawayama, Alter Bridge, Franz Ferdinand, Tash Sultana, The Prodigy, Depeche mode, Pet Shop Boys, St Vincent and a lot of other bands that are in Europe this summer..

    I still found this year with a very poor line up.
    My friends and me  will not be there this year, and we are very disappointed because Werchter usually is the best festival for us.. This is the first year we feel this.


     

    Why are The Mars Volta, Porcupine Rree, Lizzo and Incubus out?

    Could easily be some of the bigger names in the next (last?) batch of names. Or are they announced elsewhere?
