Quadrophobia

There is places that are amazing in terms of value (a giant 6€ Saitan Sandwich/ 7€ Ramen) and overpriced bs (12€ "Poke Bowl" that was just some greens on rice). Compared to what I'm used to, vegetarian/vegan options where often quite pricey.

Keep in mind that these dates are often not hand-added by the bands or their management but auto-generated through songkick etc. plug-ins. Shows "go missing" there all the time. Websites have lost importance so keeping them up to date rarely is an artsists priority

I think Alex G came over in 2018 just to do PS. Sometimes its worthwhile for artists and unlike corporate fests PS is known to go to lenghts to accomodate artists. 100 Gecs need little to no gear, it'd really be no problem for them to make this work.

For me, Tame Impala peaked in 2015, not just because Currents was fresh and exciting, but also because they obviously enjoyed playing so much back then. 2019 was really a letdown in comparison.

Thats good to know, thank you!

honestly I don't think she can make the WE2 Vacancy although she's technically free. She's on the kick off date of Harry Styles Arena Tour the day after and such things typically require you be there a day in advance, since its the first time the production goes live.

I remember that. That was pathetic, might as well have moved it to Bielefeld or smth.

Normally about a month before the festival, but I think they said on Twitter its gonna be approximately 2 Weeks before the first Weekend.

Vueling flies from Venice for under 100€ one way, if that helps

Dice customers will apparently get contacted at a later point. The current mails only concern tickets bought on festticket or rdtkt

You're welcome! As I said, i had the same trouble with Gmail.

I booked two ticktes through redtkt and received one mail per ticket. Are you sure your mail client doesn't just list them in one conversation and hides one of them because the text is the same? Because that got me confused in the first place.

I guess with the double weekend they are "afraid" of ticket splitting more than any of the other years. Would make them lose good Money if people would just share a 350 - 420 double ticket instead of selling 490 worth in individual weekend tix

Agreed on the first, but the second would be a very poor choice. Not everyone has their crew around all the time and losing out on drink sales, especially later in the night, just cause you restrict payment methods, would be quite stupid.

Not if it also regulates access to VIP areas and so on. Also, drink Credit is stored on the app which indicates it could be used as payment method on site.

Probably there will be a direct method of transfer possibly for those who hold their tickets in Dice or smth. Edit: Dice have their own access app and "TicketAccess" is a app owned by Primavera themselves. I guess Dice customers won't even have to roll over but can use DiceAccess

I don't know how I'd like Justice for Primavera but I'd like Justice for Harambe.

Agreed, only think it'd look weird having him on top of the bill over acts such as RTJ or Kacey Musgraves

I'd love that

Another option I could imagine would be Four Tet. Not really a big enough act but probably would resonate well with MA-Fans and free on both dates if Bilbao BBK hasn't put a radius Clause on PS

Yeah, but Placebo are - or at least used to be - pretty big, as in headlining almost any European festival. A band like Idles - widely acclaimed but regularly trashed at Pitchfork - will still draw enough people to justify their booking, because many people don't really give a shit about critics. But the headliners have to be - at least somewhat - hip enought to resonate with the festivals identity of being hip. I don't think Placebo could do that. Also, obviously not every British band ist trashed by Pitchfork, but suprisingly many well received British bands get pretty negative reviews there.

Placebo have the disadvantage of being British, thus never beeing even remotely appreciated by the likes of Pitchfork, who regularly trash British bands for being just that. And US-Music Media is quite relevant for the PS crowd. Also, I forgot they're playing Mad Cool, so they'd definitely be out.

Same goes for me. I'd also say they'd never be booked under normal circumstances, but who knows. The new album is rather well received, even with most critics, so that might open up a scenario where they'd be booked. Just speculating obv. Problem could be that they're not a very dependable live-band. Seen them play enthusiastic shows that took the crowd immediately as well as dull, tedious sets where they obviously didn't want to play in the first place(bo).

I know they are kinda hated in the Pitchforky realms of music but Placebo are touring in eary June and are free on the 2nd and 10th

Lots of stuff already ruled out by Mad Cool, we might just get Los Planetas once more. TLC would be available on both dates in question but I'm skeptical PS would bring them in for MA
