His new album is now streaming. https://www.npr.org/2018/01/22/578573392/first-listen-nils-frahm-all-melody Totally agree, Auditori, ticketed and probably 2 times. For me it is sth big. 2 minutes ago, with_tired_eyes said: Kamasi Washington just announces a tour which could make him possible for PS https://www.kamasiwashington.com/tour/ Kamasi is playing Razzmatazz on middle May, so we can rule him out. he was there on 2016, so no reason to return that early Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever have announced a European tour though. No Spanish date, finishes on Thursday of Primavera, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My nan's shagging the bloke from sparks. They're headlining Wednesday and playing auditori same as suede did Doom been putting out some new stuff crumbs what an undercard that would be Edited January 23, 2018 by Chopman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Blitz! is their finest work also. They are a little bigger than St Etienne and probably more so with the thirty somethings nostalgic for that dull period in the earlier 2000s that are a large part of the Primavera crowd. Although, weren't St Etienne promoted to headliners in 2012 when Bjork pulled out? But the question is whether YYYs are too big for Wednesday Night, and I'd say they're not too big. Not compared to Suede, Goat, St Etienne etc that have played that night recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's not a perfect proxy but last.fm shows figures of 450k listeners for St Etienne and 2.4million for YYYs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be disappointed if the The The comeback do not feature om PS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxialac Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) I'd love for The The to play. Ideally in the auditori. But it's not looking good. They actually play in Scandinavia on the Thursday and the Saturday (at least that's what it says on bandsintown which might be wrong) Edited January 23, 2018 by xxialac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it's worldwide, I agree that they're much bigger on the other side of the Atlantic, but Primavera is this side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta be honest: I'm only following this topic (Primavera Sound) as I'm interested in seeing what I'll be getting for my Primavera Sound, which is the NOS one. What did Gabi say exactly?

What did Gabi say exactly? Normally Porto is a subset of Barcelona with one or so different mid-tier act and sometimes one different headliner. Sounds like from Gabi's comment Porto will go a different way i.e. the lineups won't look near-identical. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I obviously get it that it must be just standard procedure as some of its acts (playing here and in Barcelona) might be spoiled. I'm curious now! Thanks for the info, hoping we'll get Thom Yorke. Regards from Porto! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a great decision to host the sister edition there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
