Same goes for Tame Impala and Kurt Vile. The Porto edition could be a much weaker version of Barcelona this year if the bands we think are gonna perform actually do. Makes a case for someone headlining like Bon Iver or Massive Attack who can do both festivals.

 

Kurt Vile is playing Superbock Superrock in Portugal so he was never likely for the Porto edition anyway.

Chic are curating a 3 day festival late June in London. 

Probably not a PS type band but would love to see them in Barcelona as opposed to the first time I saw them in a cramped warehouse in Manchester.

A bunch of Bonnaroo names leaked on the official app:

I know LCD is supposed to be doing Bonnapoo and Primavera, so I guess it's possible for some of these to also be at both, but I don't think many will. In any case, they're ruled out for Porto.

Out if these names, I'm hoping Kamasi Washington, Lolawolf, Daughter, Roman Gianarthur make it to Barcelona.

Looks like most acts bar the headers, and not convincing at that. Are DCFC possible at all? Not surprising it doesn't look too strong as Gov's Ball, Sasquatch and Coachella don't look overly great.

Foals for BBK. That's a bloody good line up now.

doesn't mean they're necessarily ruled out here. last year we shared alt-j for example.

Seems like convenient timing for the Primavera announcement?

[LITTLEDWAYNER]

Wolf Parade would make the trip worthwhile on my end

[Bort]

Won't they need some rehearsal time? Operators have dates well into April.

Brian Wilson is performing Pet sounds at Levitation. Would be a perfect headliner. Im also really hoping for Fat White Family.

Brian Wilson would certainly justify the All Stars tag. Still one of my top 5 concerts ever.

Would love to see BW. Think I might have cried at his Smile concert. The dates don't favour him coming sadly...Does anyone think All Stars is a euphemism for 'no truly big names but our strongest undercard ever'?

wolf parade!!!!! if ps havnt booked them already ill be furious if they are not on the bill.

The All Stars tag is because they booked Smash Mouth

The rumour I've heard Adam from a record exec is that the album is very much finished. And will drop on Friday! But I agree sadly any tour probably won't start in time.

well, let's hope so. furthermore they're ruled out for all june/july festivals like bbk, benicassim, vida, etc.

[Johng0404]

So, no new Radiohead album has been released today, does that mean we can count them out of the Primavera running?

[StephenF]

Its 1040....give the dude till the afternoon to be wrong.

[neontiger8]

Why do I spot (fake)posters with Biffy Clyro on it. Doesn't come across as a Primavera Sound act to me. Is it people who just don't have a clue, or am I wrong and is Biffy a reasonable option?
