I understand the sentiment, but thats a bit harsh on Foals.
They have plenty of stuff that caters to the neck bearded hipsters that frequent Primmy.
10 years ago maybe, nowadays no.
Also Foals, whatever you think of them, have gone for an arena-sized sound on their last couple of records, which is not something very sought after at PS. I personally like them, they are fun live and most of their record are good to very good, but they are not PS material

The new Justice album is amazing. Can’t wait to see them close Mordor! 🔥
Man, I wish Harambe could've seen them

They should put the libertines, the release a new record and there are a few rock bands this year
nah, The Libertines and PS don't fit, as much as I like them. Acts like Libertines, Foals, Kasabian, Franz Ferdinand and so on won't be booked (anymore) they are more of a FIB Benicassim vibe. Its just this specific brand of British Rock that PS avoids nowadays.
PS USP is being the spearhead of European music scene. They won't book someone unless they are rising stars (in their respective scope), absolute legends of their field or have a flawless catalogue (2023 is an exception here bc of the expansion plans). Of course there is always a chance to put yourself back on their radar with a very good record, but you won't see someone like Libertines or - lets say - Noel Gallagher here, who are mostly administering their fame with solid but irrelevant-outside-their-fanbase albums.

Imagine if we get Kylie Minogue or Nelly Furtado (she's playing in London and Dublin on Saturday and Sunday) as a replacement, that would be awesome.
They need to replace Kim Petras with a gay icon.
If they replace her at all, its not a mandatory thing after all, more of a courtesy. Will hardly impact sales at this point anyway.

Could see Kim Gordon replacing her, not a pop act, but I think the regular Primavera audience would like it.
I'd say shes unlikely, her tour starts in Belgium one day later, so she probably flies in from the us then. If its was the middle of a tour, you could probably just fit a date in between or restructure the bus route, but rebooking flights at this point with all things involved like toll and stuff seems like too much of a hassle for a single date.
I absolutely hate to restart this discussion, but Slowdive would still be free 😄

the most brutal clashes that could actually happen for me would bedeftones - mannequin pussy
Fka twigs/ pj harvey - Lankum
vampire weekend/beth gibbons
suggest to people there is any knowledge at all about the timetable which there isn't. Apart from the headline and some electronic acts placing an act at any time on any stage is a completely wild guess.This board is read by many more people than just those with accounts.
-
I don't really undestand the speculative clashfinders, they have never been close to the real one apart from the headliners.

No idea if legit
Love how every one of these fake posters isn't the actual poster, but a foto (not a screenshot!) of it showing on a screen so noone can check the image data to see its absolutely not legit 😄

I'm getting more and more hyped as this will likely be my last Primavera for a while, its gotta be a good one!
As everyone had a couple of months with the line up, what acts did you discover that one must not miss? -
Does ist in general make sense to just book everything I might want to see? Can I cancel my booking the same day and get refunded? Or do i only get refunded, when I attend?

The National indoors is a different beast to the National outdoors. I've seen them at PS few times, at festivals elsewhere, and indoors half a dozen times. Far far better in a smaller space.
Worth trying for tickets if you're in the city, id say. Albeit the likely Phoenix clash is a bit of a downer id say, given the National play again.
What do you guys think about Stella Maris? Will the co-headline or will they be given an early-evening slot and Tropical f**k Storm will play before Phoenix? As I understand it, they are a TV-Show offspring, but what audience does that show appeal to? Is that something teens watch and thus, PS would place them at like 7pm the latest?
If the running order is Ratboys - TFS - Phoenix, I'd probably chose that over The National. Then again, we don't know, if The National will get an act as support that would make their gig more worthwile.
-
Phoenix vs The National really is an odd clash, would've hurt me tremendously some years ago, whereas now I feel like I could survive going to neither. Phoenix support programm looks great, but I don't care for Stella Maris and lingering with 3/4 of PDF closed, doesn't make much sense. The trip to PDF just to see Phoenix in the unfavourable conditions of a free4all concert and wasting energy on Wednesday already just doesn't seem very exciting right now. I might try for The National Tix, but so will everyone else I assume.

Very likely to be at a similar time, I think assuming Razz is being used for something else that night . When LCD Soundsystem did a secret show in 2016 it was at the same time as the headliner.
LCD Show in 2016 was a Tuesday not a Wednesday

Same manager as Idles?
I honestly don't think secrecy is important at this point. Leaking your Club Line up doesn't hur so probably PS isn't really doing the whole "dont post before" process

I don't reckon I'll have the strength for any gigs on Sunday but if American Football are placed in Apolo relatively early, I'll give it a go. Our flat is just a couple of minutes by foot from there

Man, as if someone heard my prayers up in heaven (Gabis office).
Parallel 62 is even better for me, hope I'll get a ticket for that.

Hadn't really noticed just how solid the Sunday lineup is though I guess it could be spread across Poblenou (Razzmatazz) and Poble Sec (Apolo)

So much of this line up grew on me in unexpected ways. I was fond of Vampire Weekend before but the new album made me revisit them and I think I'm more of a fan than ever and them being at PS is a superb booking for me now.
Likewise, Royel Otis, Mount Kimbie nd Voytrot were nice acts for me when the line up was announced and now I'm super excited for them
Anyone feel the same about any acts? Who is a grower on the line up?

We haven't yet established for sure that Hidden Stage won't return and I assume the sponsorship covers the cost. Possibly bigger issue now is where to put it.
Greatly miss having a flurry of late additions..
2016 - 2018 hidden stage was soo good with Lee Ranaldo, Bob Mould, Peaches, Aldous Harding, Jens Lekman, Thurston Moore and The Radio Dept (ffs i would've killed for that gig), Lee Fields, Lets Eat Gradma and Ride, but getting tickets was such a hassle I always missed out

Space Africa won't perform at all, they had to cancel

Primavera Pro
Unsure if there will be public concerts by any of these, but if so, Ilgen-Nur is great and Tramhaus would be something fans of recent Post-Punk Bands would probably like a lot

Actually, it was 2018. That year we only had the Auditori for Wednesday and Thursday. So they used the other auditorium for those shows (like 14h00) on Friday and Saturday.
Ah so that was why, thanks for clearing that up.

Surprise Nick Cave solo show on the Thursday?
Having him every two years (or rather editions) seems excessive, especially considering he'd be a contender for 2025 with a new album.
Also, he'd have to play Auditori and i don't think there is room for that. I think its highly unlikely unless they pull a type of Matinee show in a venue in the city, like they did in the other Auditori with Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein in 2016

I mean, it's definitely not weaker headliners if you look at it objectively. Lana and SZA are much bigger than any of those headliners.
Yeah, whatever you think of the acts personally, Bilbao BBKs Headline is one of the objectively weakest they had in years.
Underworld and the Prodigy are headline acts you book if you can't find other headline acts, Grace Jones ist very cool but veery niche and Jungle will have to prove they are ready for the step up to headline level. Arcade Fire, whilst supposedly still a great live act, haven't released anything that was really well received in 10 years and their status has suffered from half-empty venues on tour, will leaving and wins controversy. Apart from Massive Attack there is no band that would be an out-of-the-question headline act.
And while you can question Pulps Status as Major-Fest Headliner, most of the headline level bands at PS this year woud be headline level almost anywhere.-

Fair points. There's obviously a chance they held back Friday tickets yeah. I was using 'shifting allocation' as this was similar language to what the festival was using, but obviously this could also count for holding back tickets.
This could also just mean Lana only brings half her Entourage which frees about 2k spots on the grounds
Primavera Sound 2024
in overseas festivals

I mean, probably often a once in a lifetime chance to see big acts other than in the US or Europe where you typically get several chances to see someone live, even for artists that don't tour much
