Primavera 2018

[ghostdancer1]

The National are at NOS Alive, so presumably won't be at PS Porto, so that's at least 1 difference.

Plus no Bjork at PS Porto as she is playing Paredes de Coura.

Nick Cave and Beck shared headliners - two others that are not?

This might be a bit sketchy but what about Gorillaz being exclusive to PS Porto? They could make it on the 7th of June. I find it hard to believe that they aren't coming to Portugal when they're playing in Spain 2 times. NOS Alive doesn't sound likely for them, the only available day would be the 12th and I can't see Gorillaz and Arctic Monkeys playing the same day, only Super Bock Super Rock (which is after NOS Alive, they'll be playing at Bilbao BBK which takes place during Alive's days).

It's definitely possible, assuming as you say they can't make NOS Alive.

Gabi said he didn't like the album and personally, I don't think they are Primavera material anymore. I think they might play Super Bock Super Rock.

Thom Yorke is playing Sonar so that rules him out of Primavera right?

Sounds about right. Wouldn't they have announced them already though?

[bananaa52]

maybe Primavera Porto will share acts with Sonar, as it happens in the weekend between Primavera Barcelona and Sonar.

I was thinking Gorillaz also, but I can see them playing Super Bock.

could LCD Soundsystem be playing Porto? they have 3 (!!) dates in Lisbon already

The xx and Justice were announced for SBSR, while Gorillaz and The xx were the first announcements of Bilbao BBK. Perhaps they have to wait on Gorillaz for awhile.

Did everyone agree that the Arctic Monkeys were playing? Their tour is announced on Monday 29th.

Do we know that for sure? If it is, then it looks like they're certain to play

Nobody knows for Sure until it's officially announced, but I'm fairly sure that's whats happening.

How come?

What is clear is that Open Air and PS are obviously sharing a headliner, Monkeys or no Monkeys

[Memory Man]

I still feel that AM at primavera is miles out of their usual scheduling style. They make a habit of not booking the british lad bands. I know they aren't really that now but they still have that element and it will bring a crowd with some of that style. It just doesnt seem very primavera at all to me. I also think they will get a fair bitt of backlash if that is what has held back the lineup announcement. The rest of the lineup will have to be very strong indeed.

So far, I'm counting at least four different European festivals who will add a headliner to their poster:

Open'er, on the first weekend of July

Oya + Flow, on August

Primavera Sound,  on the first weekend of June

 

Meanwhile, Roskilde haven't announced anything in January and sound like they are sitting on something they can't share yet.

Even without speculating on Arctic Monkeys, it sounds like something big is happening in 6 days.

AM has an appeal to Primavera Sound, as we heavily discussed before. The rest of the lineup is expected to be very strong, the same as always.

[xxialac]

It does all point towards AM being announced as one of the headliners on Monday.

Which will be OK as I imagine the rest of the lineup will be very strong with the usual brilliant undercard.

[Memory Man]

I just think it would be very Meh after all this waiting and doesnt have the credibility you usually associate with primavera. Im sticking to that opinion for sure, it just doesnt feel right.

it would very much need to be away from Mordor to keep those who have absolutely no interest in the bloody arctic monkeys occupied

Either Flow or Øya hasen't said anything about a headliner, just new artists. But yeah, something is happening. Looks almost like many festivals have waited for PS to announce the lineup.

Both haven't said anything specifically about Monday, right?
