Primavera Sound 2016

[dentalplan]

That Father John Misty tour just announced should put him on the doorstep of PS next year.

[Createur]

Good to see some announcements from other festivals around the same time as PS coming through. I'd love the Hives and Digitalism from hurricane/Southside.  Two Door Cinema club seem a likely act for PS too.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that the Stone Roses will headline PS & Glastonbury and play Old Trafford Cricket Club all in the same month next year.

FIB is the festival you're looking for in spain.

Yeah would definitely expect him to be there.

[DanielM17]

Savages announce a "World Tour" up to April with no Spanish dates. Surely nailed on for Primavera.

their Facebook has been updated with all new 2016 banners etc - hopefully this means an announcement is coming soon!

#PrimaveraAllStars. Wonder what that means. Should be something incoming back end of next week with the next price level begins in a week's time.

Also...

hahaha fucking hell, wonder how many people are currently frothing at the mouths over that. must be amazing to live in Barcelona and one day see those banners draped over a building. great way to announce headliners imo

[DanielM17]

Is it next Friday prices go up? If I remember correctly, The Strokes were the first act announced last year and that was Nov 11th. Then tickets went up on the 14th I believe.

That Bowie thing is bollocks, surely?

[the wonderwhy]

Yeah, anyone who gets fooled by that needs their eyes seeing to...

Yeah I think it's meant to be a pisstake of the earlier Bowie banner that actually did fool everyone, but using the rocket from the new PS artwork.

[DanielM17]

It is a doctored version of the previously doctored Bowie 2014 photo. It's 100% fake. 

[yaniv297]

Even if they did somehow, magically, pick up Bowie, why would he play Space Oddity of all albums? it's has Space Oddity and the rest of it is pretty unknown/mediocre by his standards. If he's playing an album, it has to be Ziggy/Hunky/Low, but for him just a general career-spanning set would probably be best.

That's a fantasy obviously...

Anyway I don't see Radiohead as being mega-likely either. LCD and New Order seems to make sense, Sufjan, Frank Ocean too. Wilco played Primavera in 2012, too soon to return sadly...

 

 

That's a true fantasy but any chance we'll see Kendrick bring his Pimp a Butterfly orchestra show?

I know he played Primavera in 2014 and it's too early... but it's a special different show now. Everyone recognizes TPAB as a special album, Primavera has a thing for performing classic albums in full (Horses, Marquee Moon, etc), and with the orchestra and a new classic album it will be a drastically different show.

any two of those acts you mention (bar New Order) would be enough for me to get a ticket! the Radiohead dream is slipping, but Sufjan, Frank Ocean and LCD would more than make up for it

Just realised the #PrimaveraAllStars thing is probably to do with Adidas Originals rather than anything to do with the bookings.

[yaniv297]

All three are likely but none of them seems big enough to be the big headliner (Strokes, Blur, etc). Or maybe LCD are big enough now?

New Order seems like a no brainer to me. They have a new album, they're touring and they're indie gods. Style-wise they're a perfect fit for primavera, they're like the godfathers of everyone there. They might not be the best live act but still hearing 'Blue Monday' 'Ceremony' and 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' playing in Primavera would be worth it for me.

Primavera always seems to have a couple of headliners who are notably bigger than others, but i couldn't even hazard a guess at who they'll be for next year. was hoping for Radiohead but seems unlikely. 2014's calibre of headliners with last years undercard would do me just nicely

[DanielM17]

New Order, Massive Attack, Tame Impala, Foals, Frank Ocean, Lush and PJ Harvey all to be major acts there, for me.

YEEZY

[FloorFiller]

YEEZY

hadn't even thought of him. was gonna say that i hope he doesn't as i've already seen him in both 2014 and 15, but fuck that - it'd be amazing (and hopefully with new material in tow)

[Dietediet]

Northside Festival in Denmark is releasing its headliners tomorrow, and it tends to share big names with Primavera every year.

good spot. shared both Alt-J and Anthony & The Johnsons last year so hopefully we can get an idea of who we might be getting!

[Createur]

That's one of the worst fakes ever.

[DanielM17]

Yeah it's horrendous.
