worst lineup in a long time.

won't be long before Post Malone, Rihanna and DJ Khaled are headlining the way it's going.

Give it a chance. The more I look at it, the more I warm to it and as with every year inevitably there will be at least a dozen discoveries made between now and May.

[Gnarler]

For me, I'm over the fucking moon about this lineup. Missing many acts I was hoping for but SO SO SO many acts I hadn't even considered that have made this an absolute belter. If you're into the art of pop music and where it can go from there then this is the best lineup you'll find. 

Also, I guarantee no other lineup this year will look anything close to this. They've curated a very special list of names.

"Primavera Bits will have three stages to supply the most hedonistic, festive and alternative side of the festival, as well as a surprise or two to wrap it all up"

Great line up - Going to be a fantastic festival.

Also Barcelona will win the Champions League on the Saturday night, which should make for a good mood.

also bummed about DJ Coco being repositioned. Indicative of a rebranding maybe?

I don’t know his replacements at all but I guess they won’t play the sort of hilarious/clumsy mash up indie I usually lose my mind to as the sun comes up in Sunday morning. 

But maybe I’m part of the old guard gabi is trying to shift the fest away from, future proofing it a bit

still going, but might be the last time. Or the beginning of a new era. Who knows. As long as it’s sunny.

Hurrah! Just cogitating....

Exactly my thoughts as well!

Not gonna lie though, the headliners are underwhelming. But what can you do.

In your dreams, chico?

[Guy Incognito]

got a ticket for sale if anyone wants one. Line up is great but seen lots of the acts already and it's an expensive trip all in. Would definitely go if it were in the UK.

[JedTheHumanoid]

Very disappointing at first glance, much better when looking deeper, but overall missing some big names I hoped to get- Anderson Paak, New order, St. Vincent

Still some nice surprises with Stereolab, Primal Scream and Jarvis Cocker, and lots of nice smaller acts

[livenstu]

Solange, Danny Brown, FKA Twigs, Janelle Monae, STEREOLAB(!!), Guided By Voices, Rosalia, Sophie, Roisin Murphy, Fucked Up, NAS, Built to Spill, Pusha T,  Stephen Malkmus, Dirty Projectors, Sons of Kemet, Tim Hecker...  Really struggling to see how this ISN'T exciting?!  Not many other festivals that mix it up like this.

It's EPIC!

They spoiled us too much in recent years...

We're used to see such amazing undercut AND also some cool headliners.

Imagine this lineup + Anderson Paak/New Order as headliner, and Kraftwerk at Rayban 3AM....

I agree with both.

Will probably not buy a ticket before the line-up is out again next year.

Working my way through the undercard. Anyone have suggestions on names that aren't jumping out at me?

Yeah, I'd appreciate some suggestions too from those in the know.

From the ones I know (I'll be doing plenty of digging myself)...

Sons of Kemet, Beak>, Dam-Funk, Tim Hecker, Demdike Stare, Helena Hauff, Iglooghost, Julien Baker, Shonen Knife, Snail Mail...

Stiff Little Fingers, ha, missed them on first look

Weird not to have a great band from Africa like Oumou Sangare or Orchestre Poly Rythmo de Cotonou that gets everyone up dancing. There's always one, surely!

Was thinking this considering they mentioned their African-centric radio show.

Sons of Kemet. Yes, from London sure. But could be that typical type of concert.

Ah cool, thanks.

Really sad about Brockhampton and St.Vincent not being there, also would swap Cardi B with Lauryn Hill and Future with Chance The Rapper.

By the way, when do you think the full festival ticket will be sold out? I want to but I only know if I can go there in mid February, don´t know if they are going to be available for so long.
