Beach House will play their only Euro gig, according to the press release.

That's a shame - Surprised they're back, as it's only two years since they last played Primavera.

[Wooderson]

Fascinating line up. Spain really leading the way this year.

[with_tired_eyes]

To throw a new name in the ring: What about Interpol? They are playing TRNSMT and that Cure-Hyde-Park-Show and are not at Primavera. They would fit in very good in my opinion.

[jonnytee1]

I still think it would red a little better with Muse alongside Pearl Jam! 

 

[jonnytee1]

In honesty, I think that's the "top two" lines of each day completed 

It will be interesting to see both the size and type of bands that are still to be announced.

They fit the lineup but I don't think they will be added.

I am not sure about Saturday's second line since Rag'N'Bone Man is not a second line artist when Odesza, Glass Animals and Portugal The Man are all in third line. Kase.O was in the second line before Richie Hawtin was added, so Rag'N'Bone Man might get shifted to third line after an electronic or alternative artist added in the next announcement.

I was looking through Mad Cool’s Twitter and noticed them following Neon Indian. It appears to be one of the few bands I have found that wasn’t on last year or this years lineup thus far. Is this accurate?

 

It’s been a couple years since an album drop. Possibility?

Trying to budget for this. What price are pints/food etc. Also are you able to bring in your own food/drinks?

I'm staying at an airport Hotel. How easy is it to get there from the site?  Will there be shuttles running? Or would I have to get a taxi?

I'd die

il be gutted if bilbao or benni get them 

[White Bear]

Who's everyone hoping will be added then?
My wish list would be;

Interpol
The Gaslight Anthem (playing 59 Sound)
Confidence Man
Sigrid
Friendly Fires
The Hives
The Magic Gang
If we could also steal Spritualized with the orchestra and choir from Primavera that would be amazing..

The line up is class, can't wait.

Wishing for J. Bernardt + Sleaford Mods

[berger55]

Oh yeah, Sleaford Mods would be nice. Wishing for IDLES

[with_tired_eyes]

It's basically a rock and electro festival - so I hope for some good electronic acts, which will not work, because everyone of them is playing PS or Sonar.

some not so unrealistic wishes, i think: Preoccupations - Shame - Interpol - ...trail of dead - idles - Algiers - Editors

my personal favourite at the moment is Amenra, but they are way too heavy.

 

[evilduck]

I think Idles have been ruled out by Bar Tool. Friendly Fires would be nice

[big__phil]

Give me hip-hop! Vince Staples is in Europe in July, so I'm hoping he pops up. Does the festival have any previous for rap and hip-hop? As good as the line up is, it seems a bit under-represented at the moment...

[birchtree29]

They will post a hint today if they are really going to complete the lineup by the end of the month. 

[Mad Season]

Seems like no names today... so most likely tomorrow, or this end-of-january thing is postponed?

I swear he always said end of Jan/Early Feb, feel like people are holding it as gospel when it's probably just hoping to be done by then

Primavera... they might share a headliner, but I don't think that it happens often, that you can see an act on both festivals

[JSmurphy]

Gotta be an announcement tomorrow then.

[Joshua Homme]

There was no lead prior to the announcement of AM.

Knowing that none of the bands left to announce are big thing, it wouldn't make much sense now to post a hint and let hyped people down. My best guess is they'll just announce what they've got left by tomorrow without further due.

or first two weeks of February,  the answer he gave about full poster was in response to a question about a month ago regarding when we can expect timetable,he wasn't accurate he just gave a rough estimate of end of jan start of eb and  we know there has been delays in announcements since then the first being Bar Tool himself delaying it because of the price increase and Arctic Monkeys waiting a week, So I reckon we'll get full poster by 3rd week of February at the latest

[neacaisa]

have a little patience, maybe there are still things that have to be resolved. i don't think some post on a forum where he says everything should be released by the end of month is a commitment. and remember that last year they dragged for weeks just for 4 names.

announcing 50 names at once is unrealistic unless they have a lot of local fillers. i would prefer at least two more announcement with a few decent names then have a single announcement tomorrow.
