calaix Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 There must be a hundred reasons not to book a band! Do you have to book bands that ask for more in relation to what you think they will bring to the festival? What if their agent asked for a million pounds? What if they insisted to have a headline spot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if they insisted to have a headline spot? But both Lush and Wolf People seem to be okay with a middle of the lineup spot at smaller festivals AND they are in Europe during Primavera. Not to mention that Primavera definitely has more booking power than for example This Is Not A Love Song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calaix Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) Fair points. All I'm saying is that if a band asks for more money (and sadly, it does tend to be all about money) than the organisers think they are worth, then the organisers shouldn't feel held to ransom. If they were casual with their limited funds, there'd be no way they would be able to book the brilliant lineup that awaits us. I've got nothing against Lush, actually I quite like them, and hope they pop up as a big name at the Secret Stage. Come to think about it, there's also likely to be a band that plays at 5pmish on Thursday as well as their normal slot. I'd guess Savages. Any other ideas?

yaniv297 Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Don't get the outrage... I mean I like Lush and expected them too, it seems like a classic Primavera booking, but with such an insane lineup I can't complain about anything...

smwatson Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 I'm really surprised Jagwar Ma aren't on the lineup, so maybe they're getting added?

dunx747 Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Jagwar Ma being added would just tip the scales of awesomeness into overdrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calaix Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 yaniv297, couldn't agree more. Even they book Lush, every chance I won't be able to see them with the inevitable number of clashes. The organizers have done such a brilliant job with the lineup, any criticism seems harsh.

calaix Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 OK, fair play but there are still so many reasons why they might not get booked. Maybe their agent told the organisers he thought Catalan food was terrible, maybe he didn't answer their emails because they went into his spam folder, maybe he lied about something, maybe he tried to play Benicassim and PV against one another to get them into a bidding war and upset both parties, maybe it was the other way round and the organisers upset the agent, maybe they dithered too long...who on earth knows what goes on behind the scenes...

calaix Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Raval programme out. Pretty much nothing we didn't know already other than to partition out the Sunday. Wonder if Bradford Cox will play some Deerhunter songs on the Sunday afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foolsgold1981 Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Due to a friend deciding that he can't afford to go, I have one full weekend ticket to sell. I've been in touch with Primavera and they've confirmed that all you will need is a letter from him and a copy of his passport, which I can get. I've got the printed ticket now and can send it on. He wants £200 for it though. Which I know is over the odds but he's seen what they're going for on Seatwave and suchlike, but I've convinced him to hold on for me to ask here as I know there were a few people looking for them. Please don't shoot the messenger - I'm only putting it out there and I'm not selling mine (no bloody chance for any money in the world!) PM me if you're interested. I can get the stuff over to you by the end of the week. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenF Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) Nah man, that's not a bad price considering some buggers are selling just the Friday ticket for £260! Thank fuck I got an early bird, I was 195 for a mate....so your guy isn't being unreasonable Edited February 18, 2016 by StephenF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
