puckno Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 The afrobeat alternative, true, i too cannot find it. Usually it works to go to the lineup and search for the letter ´Z´ and you´re all set, but not this time. Might have to settle with cuban rhumba.

e2p2 Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 A strong and diverse undercard as always but I can understand why people are disappointed with the top names. It's a funny thought but if the top names were replaced by the current Mad Cool top names, I think people would have accept it much better (I know that the National headlined last year and Bon Iver not so long etc, but you get the idea).

festivalguy97 Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 (edited) I get the impression that this lineup shoud´ve taken more time to be made, it feels a bit rushed, I mean I´ve seen Future live here in Portugal and he is awful, same thing about Cardi B, and I have friends that went to see J Balvin and they are big fans of him and he was very bad too. Then you have names like Solange that last year weren´t even a headliner and now she´s headlining Saturday, same thing about Tame Impala. Very poor choice for hip hip, only 5 big acts and 2 of them are bad, last year with Rocky, Tyler and Vince it was so good. The rest of the lineup is good, it´s stacked with good artists, but I think if they´re replaced some headliners, added things like St.Vincent, Brockhampton, Kids See Ghosts, it would be much better.

Gutted to be missing Cate Le Bon on the Tuesday prior to the festival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mau5 Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 (edited) After looking at the lineup, it's not bad. It is varied although a bit too heavily top reliant on Pitchfork approved pop & R&B/rap, which is far too spread out across the three days. I feel like it wouldn't have been a massive issue if they had put the likes of CRJ, Charli XCX, Kali Uchis, Rosalia, Janelle and FKA twigs amongst others on a single day or two days. Instead, they are spread all across the three days and same for the rap acts as well. The second problem is it is missing actual headliners. None of the headliners scream 'I must see this' to me.

cortomaltese Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 Undercard is strong as always, but there are zero headliners except Erykah and Tame (who come for a third time since 2013). Im afraid twerking represents the new primavera aesthetics thats why line up is full with r&b, rap, hiphop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n=Nowheretohide Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 the line up is in best hand mehhh...dont remember when it was mehh like this last time...if they dont have some aces in sleeve I would glady change my vip primavera tickects for mad cool ones....actualy at the moemnt mad cool looks likes totally another better league festival 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the new direction because hip hop and r&b are my favorite genres of music but I don´t like those artists, I expected far more diversity and far more hip hop but it´s ok.

ghostdancer1 Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 Saturday headliners are particularly weak Solange - 3rd name down on her day in 2017, now no.1 headliner despite having done nothing since then.... J Balvin and Rosalia are nobodies compared with previous headline names. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right about the hip-hop. Expected something in the level of Kendrick/Paak/Gambino, not these names. Pusha T is cool though, and puts a good show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A great booking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
