Maybe Primavera have an exclusive on someone, similar to BST have The Pixies only European festival appearance? 

I don't think they would shift more tickets or earn credibility for the festival in booking The Pixies exclusive in 2018.

They would try to get "fresh" acts which can also be "cult" acts as Ride, Slowdive or Pulp were in past editions. But in my opinion it will be an exclusive* booking for a younger audience - like Frank Ocean this year.

*for Spain

The absence of Kendrick Lamar, Anderson .Paak and Soulwax from both Boston Calling and Gov Ball makes me hope PS will snatch them. Soulwax are playing Coachella in April (after playing Sonar, FiB and BBK since 2016), while Kendrick and Anderson are playing Hangout in the US, less than two weeks ahead of PS.

That's what I've been thinking. Initially I thought it could be Meshuggah, but they're elsewhere on the dates. I also think Deftones are a potential too. Deafheaven (new album this year apparently)/ Wolves In The Throne Room are due an appearance too. Converge played last year, which is a shame as their new record is a banger.

Similiar vibe, Thursday are playing Slam Dunk and would fit the Prima sound, and I think someone mentioned Turnover are in Europe around that time too, seem like a good fit.

i think Gabi said something positive about Deftones in a Q&A before Xmas.

 

there's a few other rock acts on here at the same time that i'd like to see, although doubt we'll get any of them:

Very good point.

Ooo, is Kendrick back in as a possibility? I thought there was chat of him only doing festivals later in the summer? Sorry if I’m missing something! 

Kendrick, Nick Cave, Björk and The National would be my ideal headliners. 

Nothing's changed on that front. Guess people either haven't seen that or are hoping it doesn't come to fruition.

Kendrick Lamar. 2014.

April-May: U.S.

May 31st: Barcelona

June 5th: Porto

June 7th: London

June 12th: back to the U.S.

He literally crossed the pond to play Primavera so I guess he can do it again regardless his August tour. But I reckon it's a long shot.

 

Anyway, Watain confirmed themselves via a Spanish magazine. I guess they are this year's Gojira.

Well yeah but it was literally Gabi who said he won't be coming to Europe until late Summer, in response to a question about him being at Prima, so that would make no sense if he's doing late Summer in Europe but also coming over for Prima.

I don't think he said last summer, I think he meant the then-unannounced Winter arena tour. Gabi also said on a later chat that he's going to see Kendrick in Paris with his daughter.

Gabi loves to brag about how hard is to get an act they already booked before the announcement. It has happen literally every year (I especifically asked for The Replacements and Frank Ocean and got a similar answer). Also, I knew the he was rumoured to play Reading and late summer fest but didn't remember Gabi originated the rumour although I could've slept on this one.

The arena tour is in Feb/March. The initial translation that got posted here was him saying Kendrick won't be in Europe until later in the year but it was then clarified by others that what he'd actually said was late Summer.

Despite the commercial success of previous years, Primavera does need one big name probably to give them peace of mind that tickets will sell out.

Kendrick Lamar would probably achieve that. Wouldn't put it past Gabi to throw people off the scent though. He's quite mischievous like that.

He linked to a list of Best 30 Rap Albums of 2017 and Kendrick wasn't on it. Gah, I don't know!

He also linked a couple of End of Year Lists where #1 and #2 were Lorde and Kendrick. But honestly, the sooner we accept we won't get him this year, the better.

Just ignore whatever Gabi tweets and stick to the facts.

Obviously it's unlikely, but based on the known dates there's not reason to rule him out yet.

 

Meanwhile, apparently the 'chosen ones' have only seen 30% of the poster.

They've also published the names of the 10 chosen ones and even links to some of their facebook pages.

PS is bringing back Slowdive to both Barcelona and Madrid in March, so I guess they're ruled out from both Primavera and Mad Cool (they decided to cancel their 2017 performance at the last minute after learning about the stuntman who was killed earlier that evening).

    • Yes I'm also glad to see more experimental leftfield artists on the line up  Best line up in years 
    • Also Elefant to the Buzz.
    • I've heard him mention Deftones and Biffy as holy grail bookings in the past.   I think given Simon is back again suggests he enjoyed himself last year, not sure if they all still live in the UK so don't know if they'd match the flight thing
    • I refuse to queue for it - usually take an aeropress and some way of heating water but this year I'll be pre making a few bottles of coldbrew and having an iced coffee every morning (if we can get hold of ice, otherwise it'll be a lukewarm coffee) 
    • Himalayan salt lamps are decoration lighting that you may purchase for your house. They are made of pink Himalayan salt and are believed to offer a variety of health advantages. In reality, advocates of salt lamps believe that they can purify the air in your home, relieve allergies, improve your mood, and help you sleep.   Some people claim that Himalayan salt lamps can improve air quality, boost mood, and aid with sleep. However, there is little evidence to support these claimed health benefits.     What Are The Salt Lamps, And Why Are They Used?   Himalayan salt lamps are created by inserting a light bulb into huge chunks of pink Himalayan salt. True Himalayan salt lamps are created from salt collected from Pakistan's Khewra Salt Mine. Salt from this area is thought to be millions of years old, and while it looks quite similar to table salt, the tiny amounts of minerals it contains give it a pinkish hue. Many individuals purchase Himalayan salt lamps because they like the way they look and the peace that the pink light provides in their homes. Meanwhile, some are drawn to their potential health benefits.   How Do Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps Work?   Salt lamps are thought to have health benefits because they are "natural ionizers," which means they change the electrically charged particles of the flowing air. Ions are compounds with an uneven number of protons or electrons, which gives them a charge. They are naturally formed in the air as a result of atmospheric changes. Streams, storms, waves, natural radiation, and heat all generate air ions. They can also be generated artificially using commercially available air ionizers. It is thought that Himalayan salt lamps produce ions by attracting water particles, which evaporate as a salt solution when heated by the lamp, resulting in mainly negative ions. However, this theory is yet to be verified.   Related Topic: Is Pink Salt Better Than Normal Salt? How To Buy Pink Salt In Canada? 8 Benefits Of Pink Himalayan Salt      What Are The Health Claims, And How Do They Measure Up? They enhance the air purity   They are promoted as helpful for persons suffering from allergies, asthma, or respiratory disorders such as cystic fibrosis. There is presently no proof that using a Himalayan salt lamp can eliminate harmful bacteria and enhance indoor air quality. The argument that they are beneficial to persons with respiratory issues may be based on the ancient technique of halotherapy. According to this therapy, persons with chronic respiratory diseases are helped by spending time in saltwater caves since salt is present in the air. Some researchers have found that this approach may be beneficial to specific respiratory disorders, but further high-quality studies are still needed.   Eases Coughing As you are aware, the benefits listed in the previous section highlight the distinct characteristics of Himalayan salt lamps. When these lamps heat up, they emit negative ions that offset the positive ions in our surroundings, resulting in cleaner air quality. This process increases cilial activity in our airways, which aids in the removal substances from the lungs. In essence, Himalayan salt lamps act as natural air filters, promoting general health.   In a nutshell, Himalayan pink salt lamps not only remove impurities from the air but also assist your body filter air more efficiently, making sure any foreign particles you inhale do not enter your lungs.   They can help you sleep   There have been no studies looking into the impact of Himalayan salt lamps on sleep. However, a 2013 study examining the effects of air ionization on relaxation and sleep found no evidence of a positive effect. Thus, even if salt lamps have an effect on the air environment, it is unknown whether this will change sleep patterns. If you replace strong electric lights with a Himalayan salt lamp, the dark light could help encourage weakness near the end of the day. This is because being exposed to bright light before bedtime can cause the sleep hormone melatonin to be produced later.   SUMMARY: Himalayan salt lamps are said to improve air quality, elevate mood, and aid in sleep. However, there is right now insufficient evidence to support these statements.     Do Pink Salt Lamps Provide Any Benefits?   Although some of its health claims have not been verified by science, Himalayan salt lamps may provide additional benefits. This includes: They are attractive: If you like how they look, they could be a good addition to your home. They help to create a soothing atmosphere that allows you to unwind. They may help minimize light in the evening: If you have trouble sleeping, utilizing dim lights in the evening may help you fall asleep more quickly.     Further Ways to Purify Your Home Air   Himalayan pink salt lamps are not the only technique to improve your home's air quality. Pair them with air purifying houseplants or any of these other easy but incredible ways to naturally filter the air in your home, helping you and your family to breathe the healthiest, cleanest air imaginable!     Read More...
