I really liked her previous albums, so a bit disappointed at these singles. Hope the rest are better I've finally worked it out. It's the production that is unbearably bad. The melodies are alright but the production is like something from a tacky chart hit. And the rapping, please God no... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit underwhelmed by them at first listen, feels like re-treading too much old territory, but might be growers. Regardless, he's a spellbinding performer. I've changed my mind. Although they're obviously McCartney-influenced, they're fantastically sung as ever and very well crafted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 14 hours ago, ThisIsHappening said: I'll be arriving in Barcelona on Monday and probably try to catch the show for The Men that evening. I'm guessing it'll be possible to pickup wristbands for the fest that evening? Also, any recommendations for good bars/restaurants near the fest? Also, does Sunday usually have anything worth sticking around for shows? I was possibly doing a day trip to Montserrat Sunday, but if there's enough going on I might switch it to another day. Thanks in advance! You won't need your wristband for that show, your ticket will do. There's more going on, on the Sunday than the Tuesday or Wednesday.

Lars Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 It looks like Television will be out touring this summer playing the album Marquee Moon (https://bukta.no/2018/04/kronen-pa-verket/). Playing a festival in northern part of Norway. Potential Unexpected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeforheroes Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Someone on the official forum seemed to suggest an Australian daytime showcase and would be part of that? I've no idea who that is to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daviddaviddaviddavid Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Small artist but new John Maus (kind of new - B sides and others from last album) out today. Really looking forward to his set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, he has sort of a Joy Division wibe which I love. Seems like he'd be great as a late night small stage set, kinda like operators were last year (one of the better shows I saw last year) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went in 2016 but missed last year so am very intrigued. I think it was just Arcade Fire, Mogwai and Haim last year. The first two were on early evening, about 7/8 and Haim were on pretty late on the Saturday night. I wasn't aware of the Arcade Fire one until I was on site but I think it was announced an hour or two before it happened, Mogwai and Haim seemed to be pretty well known, I certainly knew about them before going to the festival each day but I'm not sure when they were officially confirmed.

addicted2noise Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 There's quite a few artists doing All Points East who could potentially do Unexpected with the exception of maybe Courtney Barnett (her UK dates probably rule her out) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenix at Vida I think, Beck seems to have been ruled out by Gabi (some kind of falling out). Maybe Jungle Brothers though who have been suggested on here a few times are still on for this - appear to be free and tie in with the old school hip hoppers theme mentioned by Gabi.

St. Vincent was ruled out because her show in Vida less than a month later near Barcelona. Now, while this is a valid reason not to put her on the bill in the first place, I think adding her as unexpected will not hurt Vida- most tickets will be sold by then, and good reviews can help sell more. It also works out for dates- she has nothing for about a week before APE on the third. Might be wishful thinking, but I think it can happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trouble is there's no precedent to make it think it could happen. And it still feels potentially damaging to Vida and less of a great booking for Primavera with her playing the same site very shortly afterwards.
