Anyone know what's happening with the London event?

I've heard it's going to be at Meridian Water, the new site in Tottenham where Field Day was held this year. Think they'll run it in conjunction with Field Day team and possibly combine into just one event.

Field Day sells out, it would be strange to kill-off an event which is doing well.

 

I dunno. They might have claimed on a press release that it was sold out but there's no way of judging that. It wasn't full and they were selling tickets for literally half price.

Maybe Primavera provides the brand and the extra access to bands, Field Day handles the operations. Stronger together.

Do we really need another festival in London? Especially as they would be competing with APE and Field Day anyway. 

Like I said, I'm guessing they will merge with Field Day and improve the lineup.

But actually the whole thing is inevitably going to be underwhelming.

You can't take Primavera's acts and drop them into a warehouse in Zone 4 and expect to any way recreate the appeal of the main festival. It will always be a much poorer experience.

I don't disagree that there is an audience for an alternative/atp type of festival over here, but I suspect any London Primavera would be heavy on the Hip Hop, R'n'B and Pop spectrum they are currently focusing on. So it would just be another Lovebox/Wireless to an already overcrowded London festival scene really. Plus they won't recreate the atmosphere and weather and it won't stop Brits from travelling over, so it just seems pointless.

Yeah, agree with you entirely.

Hmmm. I wasn't totally enamored with Meridian Water at Field Day this year. Hopefully will be back at Primavera Sound Barcelona next year but London would be a nice accompaniment too if the line up is good. Hopefully its stronger than the Primavera Benidorm line up.

I'd be happy enough if it was two days with a subset of the same bands as in Barcelona. So many good bands I didn't see this year because of clashes...

Why don't they just do a indoor festival at the winter in London, like the Pitchfork festival in Paris. Imagine a Primavera festival in January/Februray. I would love to go to that!

always thought you could host a huge indoor festival at the NEC, so much space

Some interesting recently played from Radio Primavera Sound. Who knows what may appear?

Idles, Slipknot, Ariana Grande, Chem Bros, Kylie, Vampire Weekend, Jamie XX (who I reckon is there), Mark Ronson and Tyler the Creator. 

Most recent created playlist consists of a lot of Tyler, Charli XCX/Christine & the Queens and a Haim song.

Gabi didn't like Ariana's Coachella performance, I believe Tyler and IDLES are in once again (hopefully they don't clash this time).

Great news for my ears. Had a listen and I don't see the hype of her. 

Very low grade pop. Tyler on the other hand, new album sounds very interesting. Wonder how it would be pulled off live.
