MickeyJJ Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Do we think we'll get set times this week then? That would ease the pain of this particular Monday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hip Priest Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 I don't expect stage times for another couple of weeks. re Unexpected/unchained/whatever, how about Belly? 26 May festival date in US then a UK tour starting 9 June.

I'd guess set times now more like second week of May. Belly is a great call! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeforheroes Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Twitter page replied to someone saying times are usually one month before the festival.

Friend Chicken Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 How does the Hidden stage work? Just like all the other stages? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capacity is very limited (capacity 700. Two gigs per day (5pm, 7.30pm) but you have to queue up to get a ticket when festival opens each day at 4pm or whatever. This is how it has worked in previous years anyway. Worth making the effort if there's someone you like playing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's a shame about Alex Lahey (I liked what I heard from her) but The Twilight Sad are a great addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orens Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 I like aot Alex Lahey but she's having an intense US/Canada west coast tour during Primavera. Performing Tuesday in Portland, Wednesday in Vancouver, Thursday in Barcelona, Saturday in San Diego and Sunday in Phoenix isn't ideal, to say the least.

xxialac Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 Unless I'm misreading it, it seems like they have abandoned indie gigs on the Friday and Saturday afternoons i.e. bands playing the Forum who double up elsewhere as they have had for years and years. Plus no auditori del forum on Friday and Saturday. For all the good points of this year, both of these feel like downgrades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my guess is they are focusing on trying to get people down to the Parc del Forum earlier with the Primavera Bits stuff, so that they can make more money on the bars and food stalls onsite. Especially on the first day with Four Tet and Daphni. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to take the most unbelievable stamina to do the Forum from 12pm until the early hours the next day (OK perhaps if you can pop back to a nearby hotel to recharge).

Twilight Sad in the park a few years ago was one of the highlights of that year. But there was less of it anyway after the move to CCCB. I guess Primavera Pro Day will still be on.

That said, the likes of Julien Baker, Andy Shauf, Hiss Golden Messenger, Ex Hex, Twilight Sad etc have been some of the bands playing the Fri/Sat afternoon gigs over the years and obviously it's all subjective as to the quality vs the Primavera Pro lot but those types of names are certainly much bigger draws.

xxialac Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 They're not using the BARTS venue either this year which has been home to some wonderful gigs like Torres in 2015. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 I'm not disagreeing with you on that point. Just they'd pretty much stopped having the non-Pro gigs when they moved out of the Parc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxialac Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Changing tack, Vampire Weekend seem to be ramping up activity. Could see them closing the festival in the Haim unexpected slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
