is there any a la ciutat clashfinder already? 🙃

Yes, thanks, I knew it, that's why I was thinking about buying it now 😉

Thanks, my fear was that there are some festival vendor platforms that doesn't allow you to sell it in ticketswap (Dice for example)

Does anyone know if, in case of not being able to go, it would be possible to sell tickets for this festival through ticketswap, Dice or similar? I was waiting for Cala Mijas instead, but seeing there's no movement I think I'll get Kalorama tickets just in case. If finally Cala Mijas announces its 2024 edition I think I'll switch to Mijas and try to sell Kalorama ticket

I can't even chose only five, and at least you limited the time period, but let's try top 5 gigs each year (good live + special moment). 2018 1. Spiritualized at the Auditori with orchestra and choir (just after the great Maria Arnal performance) 2. Lorde in her best moment imho 3. Beach House at Primavera stage 2 a.m. ❤️ 4. Idles' first visit 5. Nils Frahm 2019 1. Janelle Monae's top performance 2. Rosalía headlining in Barcelona for her first time 3. Charli XCX braking all the rules and singing Focus' line "Keep it hot, Barcelona" to a really nice crowd in the Primavera stage 4. Lizzo blowing up the crowded beach stage 5. Christine & The Queens giving it their all Wow (this year was one of my favs, I still could list the Tame Impala concert, one of last Sophie shows, The Comet is Coming in the mini Heineken Hidden Stage sweating as hell, Stereolab's superb comeback or the moshpits with The Beths and Amyl and thr Sniffers in Apolo on Sunday) 2022 x 2 1. Low at the auditori (!!!) 2. The "a la ciutat gigs" like Beck at Razzmatazz, Magnetic Fields in Barts, Jorja Smith in Apollo or the Pc Music party ^_^ 3. Fred Again driving crazy the small "pitchfork/plenitude" stage with a marriage proposal included 4. Beach House with one of their best lives 5. Caroline Polachek filling to its full capacity the same stage she visited as Chairlift years ago 2023 1. Turnstile and the moshpits even with a wheelchair 2. Rosalia's stunning Motomami's performance 3. Alvvays ❤️ in their prime 4. Jockstrap resulting one of the best breakthrough bands of the edition 5. Maggie Rogers slowly singing Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" while sunset on Rayban and I could go on...

People say they're having problems with the new gobernors of Mijas and maybe they have to move it to another location

No SZA? I didn't expected Tyler.. Btw, it seems that The XX are working on their 4th LP and they could be one of the names of 2025 (we're just starting 2024, I know...)

Well, I’ve prepared a super brief summary of the artists playing (a couple of words for each one) sorted by genres to make it easier to find performances that might interest you. I skipped most of the headliners and 2nd line names because I consider everyone knows already about them, and also I skipped as well some djs I didn’t know very well. If you want to listen to the music of any specific artist in the list I suggest you this Spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2yq4iaXGrLa69oHXGm9olQ Here we go! Indie (and shoegaze, dreampop, psych..) Yo La Tengo is one of the festival's main names. The New Jersey trio has had a practically impeccable discography since the late 80s if you're into indie/noisepop. Blonde Redhead could be considered as one of the comebacks of this edition. I lost track of them in the 2010s after amazing dreampop albums like 23 and Misery Is a Butterfly but with their work in 2023 they still seem to have it. Slow Pulp is one of the bands I'm most looking forward to seeing in this genre, as I don't think they have ever come to Spain and they will finally do so with one of the albums of the year, created in a cabin in Wisconsin. Yeule is another expected artist for me, I’d call her music something like glitch-noisepop, synth-shoegaze or chill-dreampop-wave. Ethel Cain is a young dreampop singer-songwriter gaining a lot of hype lately (from sitting in the front row at Florence & The Machine's concerts to opening for her). The Last Dinner Party, with only 4 songs (when this is being written) are probably the it-band of the year. Kind of a Fleetwood Mac-esque indie rock with some drops of glam. Nieve Ella, despite her name, isn’t Spanish but a young UK debut artist who started out by uploading her music to tiktok before making the leap to the indie scene. The Lemon Twigs is a duo formed by prolific and all-rounder brothers Michael and Brian D’Addario, who are truly enthusiasts of the late 60s and 70s music. Crumb is a psychedelic pop band based in Brooklyn who have recently collaborated with Melody’s Echo Chamber. Silica Gel is also good neo-psychedelia but from South Korea, anyone said K-Psych? Whatever. Water From Your Eyes were the supporter band from last Interpol tour here, but they are more into something we could call “hyper-rock” (experimental+artpop+postpunk+psych). Model/Actriz will bring to the Parc del Forum that dance-punk we don’t see since the last DFA days in the late 2000s, but with more noise on it. Sophia Chablau e Uma Enorme Perda de Tempo is a funny indie and postpunk band from Brasil. Another comeback is that of the underground band Voxtrot, jangle-pop for Belle & Sebastian and Smiths fans. Royel Otis were the authors of the soundtrack of the line-up video, fresh indie and jangle-pop from Australia in the vein of The Drums. Ratboys is like a hidden piece of indie with a little bit of country. And not precisely indie is Dogstar (Keanu Reeves’ project, yes, that Keanu Reeves), post-grunge if any, or “alternative” rock (maybe even without the “alternative”) but I had to sort it somewhere. Not my cup of tea but some may find it interesting. Last, but not least, if you don’t mind the language but the indie spirit, here you have a few acts from Spain and LATAM that you’ll like to discover: Aiko el Grupo (twee pop-punk with guitars and synths), Depresión Sonora (coldwave and postpunk revival), Él mato a un Policía Motorizado (Argentinian noise pop à la Pavement, Primavera Sound trademark), Ferran Palau (catalan bedroom pop), Lisasinson (noise pop-punk) and Viuda (profane and dark postpunk). Punk / garage / hardcore / metal Girls to the front! Bikini Kill are riot grrrl legend commanded by Kathleen Hanna, we’re waiting their gig in Primavera since ¿2020? and I even doubted about skip listing them here as I did with the headliners. Mannequin Pussy ingredients are “riot grrrl, indie punk, hardcore, powerpop, kim deal, may contain traces of noise (more)”. Amyl & The Sniffers, thrashing and energetic garage punk from Australia. Mujeres are also one the festival’s regulars, not a female band despite their name, but a garage and power pop act from Barcelona. Militarie Gun will be filling the Turnstile’s post-hardcore slot this year. Another two recent hardcore-punk sensations are Scowl and Gel. A Spanish post-hardocre comeback is Lisabö, from the Basque Country. Shellac, Steve Albini’s band (producer of Nirvana, Pixies et al.) are playing every year as permanent guests at the festival, in case anyone has missed them. The mysterious and ever-changing project The Armed deserve a listen to their chameleonic post-hardcore with contributions of Iggy Pop and Julien Baker. Tropical f**k Storm are expected to develop on stage their noisy experimental rock and Brutus will be equally commited to their post-hardcore/metal/rock. And in the darkest side of the festival we’ll find Chelsea Wolfe’s ethereal doom metal and Wiegedood‘s atmospheric black metal. Emo / Slowcore / Singer-songwriters Let’s begin this soft side of the fest with emo icons American Football who are again active after a looooong hiatus. Also sharing some slacker rock but more into slowcore are Duster, coming back after almost 20 years and being a bit viral since their music captures perfectly some moods in tiktok. More slowcore (but indieish) with Scottish myth Arab Strap, also returning in this decade. More 90s/00s reminiscence with the chamber pop/country of Lambchop. And some female singer-songwriters you won't want to miss in the early evening are the growing star Faye Webster who is becoming bigger everyday, Jessica Pratt with her anachronic voice, the depth of Julie Byrne and Elliott Smith and Daniel Johnston fan Joanna Sternberg. Folk / World music The folk counterpoint is provided by irish folk music of Lankum, one of the most interesting bands of this edition with one of the albums of the year. Channel One will be in charge of bringing Jamaican music to the Forum. Balming Tiger are experimental hiphop and alternative K-pop from Korea. The recent addition to the line-up Atarashii Gakko! Use to play J-pop, J-rock and synth-funk. And Portuguese Rita Vian uses to play kind of electronic fado. Minimal and Ambient Less is more, so here you’ll find: the minimalism of Charlemagne Palestine, the acclaimed and awaited minimal ambient of William Basinski who will be performing Disintegration Loops, minimal techno from Monolake, more ambient from Space Afrika, ambient pop and minival wave from HTRK and the dark ambient of Wolf Eyes who could be also listed in the noise section. Experimental & Jazz Shabaka (Hutchings, obviously, if you were asking), the sax behind The Comet Is Coming and Sons of Kemet, now in a solo act. BADBADNOTGOOD is jazz fusion directly from Canada, considered by some as instrumental hiphop and having remixed (reconstructed I’d say) Turnstile recently. The avantgarde and nu-jazz of Nala Sinephro got her Space 1.8 album awarded as AOTY in many music media. The unclassifiable Mount Kimbie productions can range from Future Garage to Dubstep, Indietronica and Post-Punk. Eartheater can blend together art pop with psychedelic folk and electronic. Also Phew plays with art pop routing it from drone to post-punk. And belgian Nazar will be performing live in the fest his post-industrial kuduro. Hip hop Quite exclusive and reputed hiphop this year besides big names like last year’s Kendrick. If Badbadnotgood are middle term between jazz and hiphop, so is reputed Billy Woods with its abstract and experimental rap. Freddie Gibbs and Madlib, big names in the genre will join forces to mark the tenth anniversary of their joint album Piñata. Clipse is the exclusive reunion of the brothers of Pusha T and Malice in the project they use to have in those The Neptunes days produced by Pharrell. Roc Marciano is a gangsta rapper from the east coast who has worked with the Alchemist. And F.R.A.C. (Foundation of Atypical Rappers from Cádiz) is an Andalusian rap gang with comical lyrics. R&B Amaarae is one of my main 2024’s reccomendations. But this genre is quite well represented in the lineup: we also have the legendary Jai Paul, as influential as elusive, reappearing unexpectedly after a decade in the Shadow. Also Omar Apollo, adding a bit of neosoul and bedroom pop to the equation. Slightly more alternative is Tirzah, with a promising new record this year. And maybe other of my favourites is 070 Shake who already was in PS19 and released in 2020 a bright record. A promising new artist might be Obongjayar who may be you familiar to you from his collaborations with Fred Again.. and Little Simz. And if you opt for an electronic and glitchy alternative r&b we have Sega Bodega. Disco and Synthpop Róisín Murphy (former Moloko singer) signed one of the best albums of the year with her house-pop, run and catch her onstage before she screws up with another unfortunate transphobic comment that would lead her mostly queer audience to cancel her. Romy (from The XX) debuted with another great synthpop/dance/house album of this 2023. More synthpop and good vibes onstage with Roosevelt. And with a specially good live (imho) are L’Imperatrice, funky synthpop and nu-disco with a frech touch. Don’t miss them if you like that music. Also from Frace comes the humorous dance music of Teki Latex. From Italy the mysterious and masked Liberato find a place for the tradizione napoletana among the contemporary sounds like future bass. In Spain we can find nice synthpop songs in catalá from Renaldo & Clara and from Andorra there are some synthpop in spanish language from julia amor. Pop / Hyperpop / Pc Music Charli XCX is (imo) the true icon and curator of the festival’s New Normal, above Yung Beef or whoever. She has played in 2019, twice in 2022 and even appeared partying in the PC Muisc a la ciutat show. She will be again in 2024 (only resting in 2023 since the New Normal concept started) and everyone who has worked with her has also come to the fest (Carly Rae Jepsen, Caroline Polachek, Christine & The Queens, Sky Ferreira, Clairo, Yaeji, Big Freedia, Cupcakke, Pabllo Vittar, Mykki Blanco, Danny L Harle…), and this year is the time of pop stars Troye Sivan and Kim Petras (who is repeating), and a couple of colleagues from PC Music as producer A.G. Cook, shiny pop star Hannah Diamond and chameleonic Dorian Electra, all of them repeating presence in Primavera Sound. We could also add to this basket Madonna’s daughter Lolahol, and Daniela Lalita (despite I don’t know very well her work, she comes from being featured in Mura Masa’s songs “Love” and “Drugs”, but maybe she opt for a more urban sound let’s see). From Spain we have Hofe, who use to work along with 4:40, and a real extravaganza worthy of the nerdiest of freaks: Stella Maris, the fictional “catholic band” from TV series La Mesías, formed by beloved singer Amaia and other actresses and with their music produced by Hidrogenesse, the “spanish Sparks” and another Primavera regulars. Electronic, House, Techno… I’m sorry I’m not really that much into electronic so I’ll skip most of the djs I don’t know, but let’s go with the acts I do know: Korean deep house and nu-disco artist Peggy Gou is coming back to the fest as one of the big electronic names (besides Disclosure, Justice..) after her hit “(It goes like) Nanana” went viral this summer. Peruvian artist Sofia Kourtesis will follow the deep house cuts but this time with a latin touch. And there will be no shortage of deep house / nu-disco this year with Barry Can’t Swim. The founder of Hyperdub label, Kode 9, specialises in Dubstep and UK Bass. And the EBM will be provided by Mandy, Indiana. The reputed soundtrack composer and producer Mica Levi (aka Micachu) will be doing a dj set, and you could also try the showcase of Herrensauna (CEM b2b MCMLXXXV, Salome & SPFDJ) one of the highlights in the djs section. The Blessed Madonna will bring more nu-disco and deep house to the sunday brunch to try to make us dance, and with her will be Chlóe Caillet, Anotr and Mochakk. Urban, Latin Trap and Reggaeton Yes, despite what Gabi said, there is still some. Let’s start with Arca, whom I wouldn’t know where to classify with her deconstructed and glitch club music with latin notes. Maybe in experimental? I’d also highlight the urban pop of argentinian Dillom. More obvious is Rels B, trap and dancehall for Bad Gyal fans. MJ Nebreda will show us her “changa tuki” a new latin genre from Venezuela mixing 90s electronic with new sounds. Spanish trap queen La Zowi returns to Primavera one more time to prove who is “La Reina del Sur”. Milo J is another trap artist from Argentina who has been recording with the successful and viral producer Bizarrap. Puerto Rican YOVNGCHIMI has worked with people like Bad Bunny and Mora. Pelada is a vindictive project from Canada focused in latin music and electronic. And I’d close with DJ Playero, an unexpected regular of this festival, back in action after blazing the trail in the glory days of old reggaeton. Delving into the Spanish music scene Besides some other acts already mentioned in each category, there is also some music with a specific Spanish touch waiting to cross borders. Derby Motoreta's Burrito Kachimba blends modern (heavy) psych with “Andalusian rock” (a 70’s mixture of Flamenco and prog-rock). Ángeles, Victor, Gloria y Javier is a recent supergroup formed by flamenco singer Ángeles Toledano, psych musician Victor Cabezuelo (from Rufus T. Firefly), jazz drummer Gloria Maurel and electronic music producer Javier Martín. Merina Gris is electropop in euskera language from Basque Country. Cómo Vivir en el Campo is underground indie pop from Madrid. Maria Hein is a Balearic indie pop-folk singer/songwriter. Guillem Gisbert is the solo project from the leader of Manel, the catalá indie band that have been playing in previous editions. And María Jaume is another catalá singer-songwriter. That's all, I hope you find it useful 🙂

Here is the updated playlist with all the bands announced, enjoy it and discover new music! 😉

Hey guys! I'm already working in the playlist 😉

Banksy's graffiti! Is that Massive Attack confirmation?

Ok, Lana del Rey, Bikini Kill etc, in. Sza & Travis out.

btw I just want Aitana Bonmati or Alexia Putellas to appear in the lineup video as Messi did in 2019 with all the "New normal" concept started. That would be really cool.

Karol G is pretty well known for her collaborations with Nicki Minaj (Tusa) and Shakira (TQG), Peso Pluma, Becky G and others, and she even appeared in Barbie's Soundtrack among Dua Lipa, Lizzo, etc. But I guess you have to like a little bit reggaeton to enjoy her This is actually a banger in every club they play it
