Just something I've been working on, might be useful to some people. Primavera.xlsx
-
These posts are getting a bit boring now. Not the best Primavera line-up, not the worst, but every year I make an effort to listen to every artist on the line-up and every year I discover new great music at least. Explore the under-card, no one is forcing you to go either.
-
Has anyone typed up the line-up into an Excel or Google doc format yet? I usually do to make a chart of "Must See / Want to see / Would like to see / Would watch / Not interested" but haven't had a chance yet.

The thing I find with Primavera is while I generally like to love most if not all headliners, and love the under card, it is also the best festival on earth for discovering new artists. Every year without fail I listen to every artist on the poster - and every year even if I don’t go I discover new artists I like. Also saw QOTSA tonight and they were great. Find it crazy Primavera pushes in new directions in terms of mainstream audience but continues to reject established acts like QOTSA/Smashing Pumpkins etc. The point of the festival is a broad church.

Taylor absolutely is not headlining. Dates work and that is it, nothing in the realm of possibility suggests she is headlining. Just as likely to have The Beatles / Led Zeppelin co-heading. However, I probably won't rule out maybe she does Dressner a favour and perhaps comes out for The Alcot. Very, very, very unlikely but not impossible.

Hope Madrid people are managing to enjoy it despite the problems! Just checked and 90% of places don't even have bookings open yet, must be some random algorithm with three-star hotels asking for €8,000 for a week a year in advance. Just seen a 3-star rated apartment asking for €27,000 for the week! I booked a couple weeks before this year and around poblenou there were a couple of places for around €1400 for the week available. Hell I remember the travel lodge there having space and was around €1300. Personally I like to book around Placa De Catalunya; good central location for the city, and if you're the east side you're close to the yellow line by jumping on at Urquinea. -

It wasn't even that bad two weeks before Primavera this year to be honest. Have you got a filter on for 1500+? -

Won’t be Tame, too soon. Won’t be Arcade Fire, too sexual assault-y (honestly I’m their biggest fan so I’m more annoyed than anyone. 100% they would have played this year if that story don’t come out, or more importantly if he didn’t do it). Won’t be RATM, just can’t see them coming good on that European tour. Their cancellation didn’t even hint at “I’ll heal up and be back” it was moreso “cancelled. Never mind ey lads?” Maybe NIN? Honestly who knows what Trent’s plans are. He could do a few festivals next year, or not perform at all. It’s a bit up in the air. Maybe Vampire Weekend? I think they’re quite under rated to be honest, and I haven’t followed their activity outside of their albums; are they close to finishing a new album and due a tour cycle? Good chance of The Cure, been well loved at Primaveras past and are booked for Buenos Aires edition. -

How bad exactly is the weather in Madrid? Some of the states UK festivals get in and they rock on. It would probably take a borderline biblical atrocity by God for Melvyn or the Eavis’ to cancel a festival. -

It is unfortunately. -
Pulp put on what is widely renowned as one of the best headline performances ever. It’ll be a cracking and popular show. Blur are still amazing live and one of the biggest and most important British bands of the last 30 years, and this current live run is spectacular as someone who seen them two nights ago. All three would get massive reactions. Also to put the cat amongst the pigeons Blur are magnitudes better than Oasis who are just a 90s Mumford and Sons. Sorry not sorry. (I’m also fully aware a Oasis reunion would be the biggest tour in the world, not denying their popularity)

There were specific bars at the festival you could spend the credit at. Alternatively if you don’t spend it then it gets refunded after a few days. Weirdly I attended Black MIDI and BCNR but only have 10€ showing… -

It ended up being a Thom Yorke x Matt Bellamy x Jarvis Cocker DJ set which was pretty neat -
