Primavera Sound 2016

[dentalplan]

I think the gimmicks are fun.

[DanielM17]

I have liked the gimmicks for PS, but I equally like the way Coachella or Glasto just tweet the lineup sorta outta nowhere. Maybe I just like announcements in general.

[Bort]

Maybe it's time we start tweeting these fake posters to our favorite artists as a way to ask if they're really playing? Get our own leaks, yeah.

[DanielM17]

Cocteau Twins freaked out last year when they saw a fake Primavera poster with their name on it

R.I.P. David Bowie

Just heard. Gutted.

RIP.

[ilbeyene]

Devastating. 

[Bort]

I was supposed to be there in 2014, but work decided at the last minute I couldn't.

Would be nice if Jane's Addiction and At The Drive In come to Barcelona or somewhere else in Europe this summer

[slowdive]

shaky knees:

at the drive-in, please. and parquet courts.

Grimes is touring with Florence in the US, her last date is June 2nd. Probably rules her out? 

I guess she could travel on the 3rd and then play the pre-DJ Coco slot.

Florence + The Machine play in Barcelona the April 16, so I'd rule them out for sure

[LITTLEDWAYNER]

Iggy Pop plays Switzerland June 19th, any chance? Probably the next best thing to Bowie

Playing Rockavaria in Munich on 27-29 May and playing Rock in Vienna on either the 3rd, 4th or 5th June. Do-able but it's a lot of cris-crossing across Europe for a 70 year old, even if it is the Igster. Would love to see him there though.

I meant Grimes rather than Florence in my post above by the way, I can't see the latter being booked, thankfully.

[DDave]

Garbage are doing a few German dates at the end of May. Hope we dont get them. To me they are Garbage in more ways than one.

Dang. Another reason to loathe Florence and the Offkey Caterwaul

[DDave]

Foals in Germany on the 3rd & 4th June so will be playing the Thursday if we get them.

[Bort]

So this is in Washington the weekend before Primavera. 

Really hope we get Chelsea Wolfe, Sufjan Stevens, Julia Holter, Tamaryn, Four Tet, Tangerine

Decent line up for Sasquatch.

There's a lot we'll get from the lower section of that list.

Todd Terje would be my personal pick for PS.

Four Tet is pretty much ruled out.

[Albert.EA]

Tame Impala have announced tour dates. They'll be playing Lollapalooza Chile the 19th of March and the next confirmed date is the 9th of June in Chicago. I reckon they're likely to be in Primavera this year, I guess. 

[DDave]

You'd hope so. Subbing LCD hopefully. What a night that'd be.

[DDave]

Wolf Alice and HATEM for BBK.

[slowdive]

donsn't mean anything for us, right?

last year we've got only 11 acts from sasquatch here and most of them were lower section-bands. and the line-up was as primavera-compatible as this years edition back then.
