Ardynaika

They either completely scrapped the electronic stage (Bits...right?) or they will announce it later. And they will only have 4 acts/stage on the other 4 stages..? They usually had 5 in some stages, so they also slightly reduced those.

Here is the poster:

Not only did they increase the price (again) but they really reduced the number of artists. I think last year there were ~22 per day (in the 3 days where all stages were running) to now...16? So either they scrapped 1 stage or there are names missing. Either way, I was expecting more medium big acts. Porto has 4 names (Arca, Amyl and the Sniffers, Ethel Cain, Kim Petras..?) from the 2nd and 3rd bigger fonts of the Barcelona lineup. Out of ~30 names.

It says here that it's their only EU festival in 2024: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cz6jn_tI7Nr/ Besides Vampire Weekend, a PS organizer, when posting the Barcelona lineup on Instagram, wrote that Clipse + FKA twigs + Jai Paul are EU+UK exclusives. Still possible they are Primavera exclusives and not just Barcelona, but from the phrasing it doesn't seem like that's the case: "Unique performances by cult icons FKA TWIGS (EU + UK only 2024 show), JAI PAUL (EU + UK only 2024 show) and one of my fav hip-hop projects ever, the comeback from CLIPSE -Pusha T + Malice- (EU + UK only 2024 show)."

Not a bad start.
