I mean they had huge Problems with the venue, right? Maybe thats been killing it
-
Or they wont be booked st all seeing they were at PS in 2019 and 2022 I dont expect a 2022 level ciutat line up, if Camera Obscura, Cranes and The Mountain Goats appear, i‘d count this as perfect, but ill also take some side shows of the likes of Duster or The Armed
-
Well, I'd Say Ray Ban/Cupra is also much more intimate than Mordor. And since Saturday is crowded with big names I could see her slip there or to the old Primavera stage if the layout is reversed whilst SZA, Mitski, FKA Twigs and Charli XCX do a pop day at Mordor
-
depends on how crowded everything is, I think from middle to middle its 10 - 15 minutes.
-
I think the absolute maximum number of full sets you can see is 10-12, if you start at the first auditori show at 4pm and last til 6am. Realistically I have seen like 8 acts per day at peak days, because you need to factor in time to eat, move between stages and those times where there is just nothing of interest for an hour or so.
-
I think that was on here and OP clarified that that might have been a mistranslation
-
to be fair, this is a lot later than PS so their undercard is yet to be filled. The headliners are really good, even though Maneskin is maybe the worst act that you can currently book and The Offspring are terrible live.
-
But why would she do that instead take the time off that is super needed in a tour like that?
-
Yeah these type of rumours come up all the time at many fests. The thing here is: Many people do not realise there is a festival "season" or touring cycles. They think that that one fest they go to is the focal point of everything in music and logically every act will play there, regardless of economics, logistics and reason. A local street fest in my area (approx 5.000 people over 3 days, no entry fee) held an open poll on facebook some years ago which acts they should book (they had coverbands made up of dads and shanty choirs mostly) and people voted in Coldplay and David Guetta. And a friend of mine works for a big label and he used to get calls all the time to aks if Ed Sheeran could play their daughters birthday or smth. Music is just an area were people have no grasp of reality whatsoever. In other News, Belle and Sebastian just got announced for Elbjazz, the Weekend of PS Porto.
-
Everything they do is directed at live shows. They put on a great party and their fusion of elements of soul, funk, synth into danceable and accessible pop songs just connects well with many people. I'm not a big fan, but their shows I saw in 2017 and 2019 were already fun
-
Exactly. I think PS Porto is probably outperforming DTRH and BKS at halve their price and has managed to fill the void of headliners elsewhere with very good bookings that (yet) appear nowhere else like Lana, Sza, Mitski, with BCN adding Vampire Weekend, Deftones, Jai Paul, Clipse, FKA Twigs and Beth Gibbons to that. I think DTRH has a solid line up (and its not complete yet) but altogether, both PS are stronger
-
Down the Rabbit Hole just announced its first wave of acts. Jungle, LCD Soundsystem, Michael Kiwanuka and The National are Headlining. So hardly any new names in the mix for what just seems to shape up to be a rather thin festival season
-
It wasn't just the allegations it was the way he handled them. Five individual allegations of misbehaviour and noncensentual actions and he comes out to say "all this was consensual, here are other people who I did not abuse for proof" and "so sorry I cheated on my wife, but we are still a band". Not to speak of the age difference that he did not even acknoledge as a factor why his actions might've been hurtful to others.
-
From the Top Tiers its lacking Vampire Weekend, Deftones, FKA Twigs, Beth Gibbons, Disclosure, Phoenix, Bikini Kill, Clipse, Charli, Jai Paul, Rels B, Omar Apollo, Troye Sivan and Peggy Gou. Quite a lot of omissions, but still a very respectable line up. Makes BKS look even worse.
-
The last couple of years BKS was - while with fewer big names - a real alternative to PS. This year their line up looks like a single day at PS
-
As I said in an earlier discussion, its critical for festivals to reach younger audiences, since the older ones that have defined them in the recent past will phase out in the coming couple of years. And Jungle work well in that demographic, Massive Attac k don't
-
Thats an ok line up but thats it Its alphabetical inside the brackets.
-
Could just be at Sonar I guess Slowdive might've just wanted a Solo Show instead
-
Best Kept Secret goes with Disclosure - Justice and PJ Harvey as their headline trio so I think if thats the competition this should be regarded much more euphorically On first sight, the only big BKS acts missing here are Slowdive (which were alwas out), FLoating Points and Osees (which i can see doing a Ciutat show).
-
Thursday is a bit too packed and Saturday is a bit too much Mordor for me, but apart from that I can work with that. Duster, Yeule, William Basinski, Sofia Kourtesis, Julie Byrne, Vampire Weekend, Pulp and The Armed clashing would be really bad for me.
-
It does, just imagine a dark, cathartic wall of doom and drone builds up in the club and a guy shouts "HEY" and starts playing the Banjo and stomping rhythmically.
-
I mean just like Lankum draw on the Irish tradition of Folk and lore, Mumford & Sons draw on the British tradition of being absolutely insufferable
-
If you like The Armed, Brutus should do something for you too
-
My list currently holds 30 names, of which 9 are must sees that I have never seen before. Much more actually than 2022 where the majority of acts I had already had the chance to see before.
-
Joanna Newsom even got everyone a free drink on her "Have one on me" tour making up for a past cancellation. And when Lubomyr Melnyk had played a show in a venue unaffordable to most people in my city he came back a few months later to play a super small free concert in a poor neighbourhoods church. I do understand that bands have reasons to cancel and that making up for missed shows doesn't always work out. But doing a tour in the exact time and place of the gigs you missed two years ago and not making up for them isn't cool
