still mentions of kiss floating around apparently, these lads are involved at thrash hits. I'm sure Raz was on the metal hammer podcast last year.

KISS and Queen at Download is a really terrible idea isnt it. FNM are good tho.

..if it is Kiss and FNM, then sign me up!

I very much doubt it's Kiss.

What I've heard is that they can't find a third headliner. I doubt that an attempt to get Kiss would be so far down their list that they've only got around to asking themn in the last couple of weeks.

I wonder what they trying to do now? Possibly offer loads of money to get someone like Muse, Green Day etc who aren't touring and hope it sells out to cover it, get someone who wouldn't be universally popular like Nickelback, Linkin Park, My Chemical Romance but are touring this year or push someone up like Bullet For My Valentine, Queens Of The Stone Age but that's a short list of who could work and hasn't been booked elsewhere already.

It just occured to me that even though they have 2 headliners booked already alot/some of the undercard may not be yet. Last year on Biffy day they had a few acts like Weezer that fitted in well under them so without the last headliner in place they might be having trouble booking a sub to match and deciding which bands play on what day saying that tho 2010 was pretty mish-mash.

The rumours for Kiss have been around for a long time now though.

exactly. So I'd think that if there was anything to it they'd have them signed up or very close to signing up.

Word I've heard (a few weeks old now, and it might not be accurate) is that there was no 3rd headliner on the horizon.

...smaller Friday headliner, cheaper ticket!....that would probably considered a step back though I guess.

Any more updates on possible announcment? Excuse me if this has already been discussed.

    • Totally agree about PinkPantheress stage choice. 'Luckily' for me, one of my main targets, fakemink, was absolutely awful, meaning that I left early and was in a surprisingly good spot at Cupra before it got totally packed.
    • As many said before, not my favourite Primavera. sh*tty weather is something I'm not really used to when enjoying music. Poor communication (more than 1 hour long radio silence during the worst rain) didn't help, but the main problem was me. I decided to leave the venue after things seemed to be getting back to normal. Massive Attack were supposed to play again (with Hymn of the Big Wheel back on the setlist!) as were all other artists on the smaller stages (including Fcukers with one my favourite albums of the year). FOMO was at an all-time high. However, after 4 hours in the rain, I had to admit to myself that I'm not cut out for this. I wasn't even that soaked (water-proof jacket worked). I was just fed up with the rain, wind and cold and wasn't able to enjoy music anymore.   Also, they should stop ignoring the growth of some artists between signing them up and their actual performance. Both PinkPantheress and Ninajirachi sets were ruined for me by completely inadequate stage choice.   However, I felt very much the same way after the 2022 edition and have thoroughly enjoyed all subsequent editions. So I'm still buying early bird tickets for 2027 and hoping this was a hiccup not the start of a downward trend.
    • I will definitely be buying a 2027 early bird pass, partially because of the priority reservation privileges for the Ciutat sets. Hopefully the organization will take action to improve upon this year's failings. Because I thought the free water options and sound quality were an improvement over last year, so clearly they can actually implement positive changes.   I also hope all the douchebag chompers get in the sea, cause I was more bothered by them than in the past few years.   Highlights: The Cure, Ninajirachi, Knocked Loose, Current 93, Blood Orange.    
    • Similar feelings to a few others on here. Not my personal favourite edition but a long way from giving up on it. Felt overcrowded at times and there are just too many people there that don't seem to like music that much! Hardly went to main stages which was the plan. Highlights Ralphie Choo, rusowsky, Gorillaz, Geese, Gelli Haha, The Sophs, PinkPantheress, Dijon. Accommodation booked for next year. Thanks for your company and comments over the past year.
