tomes Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 Primavera lineup is out but is pretty weak for me...I guess Tame Impala (headliner) and James Blake, Snail Mail, Courtney Barnett, Soccer Mommy, Big Thief....but there are missing some big indie names...

StupidDream Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 Hopefully they give us about 20 names tomorrow, now that the Primavera line-up is out. Plenty of interesting names for me. Wondering where Tame Impala will end up playing. Was expecting them at Down the Rabbit Hole or Lowlands, with a big bag of Live Nation money. Other than that, no clear headliners for BKS. Or a smaller one for the Saturday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDave Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 Not really any names from Primavera that you think would warrant the moving of the BKS dates which is a bit weird, unless it is Tame Impala but even then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they've moved to accommodate The Cure, who aren't playing consecutive nights and have Saturday* booked in for Dublin Bon Iver - Tame Impala - The Cure would be a great trio (*the 8th, so of 'normal' weekend, just to clarify) Edited December 5, 2018 by the wonderwhy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StupidDream Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 41 minutes ago, the wonderwhy said: is there definitely an announcement tomorrow? Impossible to know, no pattern in announcements and no official clues. So only people in the know could help us with that. But it would make sense to have new names soon because official ticket sales have started and so far just five names. Dunno if they had to wait for Primavera. Tame Impala would be exactly the size of headliner I expect. Or still waiting for that big name to announce a tour? So yes, I also thought their move could be connected to APE, a so far unannounced name. It's weird that if The Cure would play they haven't been added so far, what's holding them back? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it’s that weird. They’re still getting announced for stuff - InMusic, Mad Cool and Hurricane/Southaide have added them recently - so there are clearly festivals who have decided they didn’t want to announce them when everyone else did, or that they didn’t want to announce them first. Wouldnt surprise me if they’re the biggest name and therefore the last headliner announced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visdave34 Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 I expect The Cure to be at Down The Rabbit Hole or Pinkpop, who both haven’t started ticket sales yet. Would gladly be proven wrong though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still no consecutive days announced. For Pinkpop (8-9-10th of June), they do Dublin on the 8th and Fleetwood Mac is headliner on the 10th . Probably not on the same day (or a very crazy day indeed...)? And otherwise consecutive dates. So they don't seem as the best options. Ed: Lowlands on August 18th another option.

No problem with having them all at BKS. Elbow would possibly claim a headlining position, so they probably won't be booked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah their dates mean its between here and Lowlands, if they're playing the Netherlands at all. And Best Kept Secret does seem to be the better fit.

And Best Kept Secret does seem to be the better fit. I know about the Pinkpop and DTRH dates, they both don't seem too likely. I just can't get my head around why they wouldn't have been announced for BKS before the ticket sales started. And one other thing: Pinkpop's director said in a radio interview they still have a big name to add to the Fleetwood Mac day. (He actually said even bigger than Fleetwood Mac, but his outings should be taken with a pinch of salt, as has been proven in the past). Lowlands doesn't feel like a good fit, with their headliners of the latest years aiming to a younger audience.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellowmaniac Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 I'm a bit underwhelmed by the Primavera line-up. Last year they had Arctic Monkeys, Björk and Nick Cave as headliners and this year Erykah Badu, Tame Impala, Janelle Monae, Cardi B., Solange und J. Balvin...!? I don't think any of these acts is a bad act, but compared to last year it seems a bit over ambitious in presenting the new gender balanced vision of the festival, resulting in a weaker (or perhaps just for my personal taste: to contemporary) headliner line-up. If I take a look at all the acts of the lineup I'd like to see at BKS (non-returning) I could also have went to a nice indie festival in the mid-nineties and see most of them: Erykah Badu, Guided By Voices, Dream Wife, Suede, Mura Masa, Low, Sons of Kemet XL, Stereolab, Jarvis Cocker, Primal Scream, Neneh Cherry, Built To Spill, Shellac, Big Red Machine (Aaron Dessner & Justin Vernon) and Filthy Friends (Corin Tucker, Peter Buck, Bill Rieflin, Krist Novoselic and more). But: if we get 50% of these bands, I still will be more than happy with BKS, no matter what other bands (and headliners) will be confirmed.

uncertain Posted December 7, 2018 Report Share Posted December 7, 2018 If I'm not wrong, last year they announced by mid December. Hopefully next week we'll know the first 20 names or so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StupidDream Posted December 7, 2018 Report Share Posted December 7, 2018 NOS Alive has Thom Yorke, would be a great name for BKS of course. The date in July worries me a bit, maybe more likely for Down the Rabbit Hole. Also not at Primavera, but maybe he's too much of a regular for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
