Yeah, maybe I was too definitve in my comments that he would have a high spot, it just wouldn't surprise me at all. His new single was released like two weeks ago and already has more streams than any song FKA twigs has ever released by herself I think. And if you combine YouTube and Spotify-numbers Slow Dancing in the Dark has way over a billion streams. I know streaming stats are not everything, but that's really impressive. And I also think he's pretty good, he has the quality to play Primavera in my opinion. About FKA twigs, I hope she will be there in 2023, I still listen to Caprisongs a lot and was a bit sad that she didn't roll over from the 2021 to the 2022-line-up, would love to see her live.

Yeah he hasn't played often in europe in general, so it's hard to predict. And as I said he is by no means a headliner yet, but his new album is set to be huge and he is getting big slots in the US (third down at one of the biggest festivals in the world (Coachella)) and he is for sure as popular as fka twigs or Brockhampton, who were 4th/5th down on the 2021 poster. So 4th down wouldn't look strange to me and is quite a big slot in my opinion.

Yeah I agree. That's why I don't see him as a headliner right now, but maybe in the future. Especially if his new album will be as big as his new single is after only a few days and Primavera keeps the 3-5 headliners a day thing.

Can see Joji getting a pretty high spot, not headline tho. Think he might be a future headliner, if he is good live too. He played third down at Coachella this year like Meghan Thee Stallion and his new single is getting impressive streaming numbers.

I thought they were amazing, but as someone already said, the crowd was quite dead. Expect for a small group of people right next to me, who I think were friends of the band, they knew every single word and jumped through the whole set. Me and some other people joined them when they played French Press and the drummer started to crowd-surf, had a really good time. Top3-gig out of both weekends for me.

Hm, I didn't have any problems moving between the sets and even during the sets. I went to the toilet after Charli, had to wait only 2min in the queue and was back before Tame Impala started without problems. Was standing right where the monitor between the two main stages is and there was still lots of space. Had a good view from the side, not optimal, but secured us good spots in the middle of the stage for Pavement.

I have to agree that the bar and especially water-situation was terrible, but I had a really good time. Thought the two main stages worked really well, I was mostly in the front rows and thought it was always quite crowded but never too much (I can imagine that it was different on smaller stages). Charli killed it, Tame Impala was ok, but expected a bit more, The Strokes-cover made my day tho. Pavement was amazing, loved that the crowd upfront was really into it with jumping and everything. It's my first Primavera, so don't know how it has been in previous years, but I really liked it. Gutted about the Strokes-cancellation, but still very excited for the next days:)

Just noticed that Tyler is doing 75 minutes on weekend 1 now apparently, this is new isn't it? Great news if true, now I can see the last 20 minutes of his set after Beach House.

Lorde and Giveon do have a lot of shared fans I think. Especially for the more mainstream crowd, that listen mostly to the usual popular pop/R&B-songs. For two of my friends it's the worst clash of the weekend. And Tame Impala/Cigarettes after Sex too for the 10's Indie-fans...

Where did you find this? Can't find the timetable on their website

Actually, it's still the best day over both weekends for me with: Lorde, The Strokes, Clairo, Courtney Barnett, and The Smile as must see's and on top Bleachers, Britanny Howard, Grimes, Giveon, M.I.A. and PinkPantheress:) Actually think The Smile, Burna Boy and Clairo aren't any smaller than some headliners, Jorja Smith or Interpol for example

Hey, a friend of mine just decided that he wants to join us for the 2nd weekend. What do you think is the best option to get a ticket now, the Dice-waiting list? Or is ticketswap legit? Thanks for your answers:)

The Yung Lean/Drain Gang evening looks very tempting, also there's a weird gap between those two for about an hour (Drain Gang are playing from 4 to 5 am lol)...maybe a secret set, don't know who would fit tho. Technically FKA twigs, since she is on Lean's new album. Would be amazing, not that realistic though, I think.

Mac DeMarco starts his european leg on 4th in Paris, so he could do 2nd june I guess. alt-j are around, although I can't see it. Mura Masa is playing in Porto, but not Barcelona, maybe he will be added.

The undercard ist really strong. I like this line-up more than Rock Werchter for example. Imagine if they still had Taylor and Kendrick instead of Dua Lipa and Post Malone, the line-up would be mindblowing. It's still good tho imo, there are many great acts every day except wednesday maybe.

I'm 19 and that sat-mainstage annoys me, it's just super boring and bland. I have to say some of my friends would probably like it, but mostly those of my friends, that don't care too much about music and just listen to everything that's on the radio/is popular, which is obviously okay, but I think they are not exactly the type of people Rock Werchter wants at their festival. Phoebe and Clairo would save the day tho for me and most of my other friends.

The mainstage on saturday might be the worst run of acts I've seen on a line-up (of festivals I'm interested in) in a long time. Some good stuff on the undercard as always, especially Snail Mail, Big Thief, Sam Fender, Moses Sumney, Michael Kiwanuka, Clairo and Phoebe. The heads don't do anything for me, but I get why they have been booked, except Greta van Fleet, having them on the top-line is just embarassing. It's an okay line-up imo, but I think it could have been so much stronger.

Only now realized that beabadoobee isn't on the poster anymore, she was supposed to play june 2nd and still has it listed on her website, might be a mistake.

In my opinion one of the best german line-up's in recent years. Would definetly go, if I wasn't at Primavera that weekend.

I agree that the line-up misses some big rock-names and the first line below the heads is weaker than usual. But the undercard is amazing, it's diverse, covers almost every genre and is filled with a lot of quality-acts and I'm primarily a rock/indie-fan. rock/indie-rock-acts I like: Amyl and the Sniffers, Idles, King Gizzard, Wallows, Beach Bunny, Turnstile, Current Joys, black midi, beabadoobee, Surf Curse, Viagra Boys indie-pop: Phoebe Bridgers, Still Woozy, Cuco, Arlo Parks, girl in red, Japanese Breakfast pop: Harry Styles, Conan Gray, Doja Cat, Billie electronic: Flume, Disclosure, Caribou, Hot Chip rap: Brockhampton's last gig (man, I wish I could be there), Denzel Curry, Dave, Vince Staples (/R&B: Joji, Omar Apollo) There's even Danny Elfman!

I think it's quite good, considering Arctic Monkeys is the only big name/headliner. I think they'll shift a lot of tickets too, since the last time they were at Pukkelpop was 2009. And the other names on that list are mostly smaller ones, but with a good diversity through many genres and a lot of them released highly acclaimed albums last year (Little Simz, Dry Cleaning, Low, Slowthai).

Yeah, Brockhampton dropping out hurts. Hope they get Kevin Abstract to do his solo stuff, I think he's about to release an album later this year. The last two minutes of his single Sierra Nights might be my favourite piece of music last year.

friday undercard looks amazing with: Claud, Briston Maroney, Arlo Parks, Dayglow, Japanese Breakfast, Denzel Curry, Still Woozy, King Gizzard and The War on Drugs. In general the line-up looks weak though imo, especially the heads.

Ah, true, so rather unlikely. I'm still pretty sure, Jack will do something special, at least Clairo, Lorde and him will do something together I guess. Another thing I'd love to see would be him and Kevin Abstract of Brockhampton doing some of the songs of Arizona Baby together.

Think they added Boy Pablo for the Ciutat on sunday without mentioning it anywhere. In generel very happy with the new announcement. WE2 friday is gonna be a Jack Antonoff-day with Bleachers, Lorde and Clairo haha. (Let's see if he brings some other artists that he produces, like St. Vincent, maybe as a surprise guest)
