xxialac Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Yeah that’s for the Primavera Pro very small up and coming bands apart from the Sunday so same as last time. Was wondering about the Friday and Saturday afternoon gigs for more established bands which were meant to be at the Forum for the first time.

New album is out in May as well. I haven't seen anyone mention them for a secret set in here but I think they would be an incredible addition. They are playing the Apolo in October 2018, booked by Primavera Sound.

That's on par with 2017 (33-31-33 acts per day, playing the big six stages inside the Forum). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good number crunching but as we have an extra stage and extra capacity, that number needs to rise accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great band, active in the late nineties. Pioneers of angular post rock, they had a cult following. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_of_44 I will go to see them in Catania for the Uzeda's 30th anniversary / two-days festival. They would be a nice add to PS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than Christians and other religious people Cause people associate those believes with black metal and they're arguing that they aren't similar in any way Edited April 2, 2018 by Nicklord Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostdancer1 Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 only know the Irish ones, but they're pretty good IMO.

Zabsolutely Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 Hello…needing a bit of a helping hand with an accommodation disaster! Some friends and I are going to Primavera Sound again this year. However…I’ve made a bit of an epic error which means I have booked and paid for an apartment which I don’t need. Just before the line-up announcement I booked a cancellable apartment on Booking.com. I did it to be sure that various friends who were thinking about coming or not yet able to confirm would have accommodation secured before the nearby places are sold out. As it’s turned out, only a few folks are actually heading over and those of us doing so are coming and going on different days...so no need for the apartment! Unfortunately, when I tried to cancel the apartment booking it turned out that it wasn’t cancellable and the entire cost had been withdrawn from my account. I’m still not exactly sure how this happened as I’d specifically been looking at cancellable apartments. There have been emails, and more emails, and occasional sweary words. All the same - whether it was my fault or not - the bottom line is that I have an apartment which I don’t need, which is fully paid for and which I can't get a refund for. Total disaster. Booking.com are basically an intermediary so cannot refund me and the apartment company are being numpties about providing a refund, despite knowing it would rent again instantly due to the festival. All a bit stressful. Here's the good bit - it's a great apartment! 4 stops by Metro (Bogatell, L4) from Parc del Forum and 2 miles away so walkable for the early morning finishes before the metro. The beach is 10 mins away, Ciutadella Park is 10 mins away and there are loads of supermarkets etc nearby. It's modern, sleeps 5 (1 double which is 2 singles together, 2 bunks and a sofabed. It's really well equipped, has a nice balcony and is in a great part of town. In short it's a cracking place for a group coming to the festival or anyone wanting to chill in Barcelona for a few days. Check out Lonely Chimney Apartments if you want a closer look! I've paid €673 for the place for Thursday to Sunday and am now very keen to find someone to take it on. Definitely nit expecting the same money back. There is a further €40 cleaning fee to be paid on check in, plus €2.48 per person tourist tax. There's not really anything left of this quality near the festival site at that price over Thursday to Sunday so it's a good deal! I really need help to shift this apartment. If anyone is interested please drop me a line. If you know of anyone going to Primavera or thinking about it, it’s a perfect place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm familiar with most of the others from going to Electric Picnic in recent years, I'm a big fan of Paddy Hanna. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
