Definitely more announcements. 10-15 new names playing Hidden Stage. Usually one or two gems. A new biggish name or two for inevitable cancellations Surprises announced last minute. Given 20th anniversary should be some relatively major ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The memory of being on a train back to central Madrid after Mad Cool surrounded by drunk Scottish fans saying "Fuck Massive Attack, bunch of w*nkers" after they bailed because Franz Ferdinand were being too loud did come to mind. Presumably if they do All Points East as is being rumoured in the thread for APE, they'll benefit from all the other stages being done for the headliner. Unless Primavera's stages are a reasonable distance from one another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same at APE, main stage far from the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one of the headliners cancel, I genuinely think they'll turn to him first. Recall he stood in for Bjork shows a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I got that feeling of distance from All Points East when I went there for Strokes day last year - the walk from the main stage to the other stages was long. For me, it ended up playing into my preference to I go between acts on the smaller stages for most of the afternoon. If it is the case that Primavera's stages are a long way out, then clearly, that's going to reduce the chance of an on-the-day bailout.

Right now I think: Thursday: DJ Shadow (with Massive Attack closing Mordor) Friday: Caribou Saturday: Bicep live (with Disclosure closing Mordor) I don't think the same with Caribou. I guess he will closing Mordor on Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nesser Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 IIRC no headliner has ever played last on Mordor. If only, second to last followed by a closing act. We all know how Tricky Massive Attack are so I doubt they agree to start their show at 01:00. They will play at 00:00 (aprox.) and Young Thug will close Mordor mirroring what happened last year with Erykah Badu and Future. My two cents for the 3am Ray-Ban spot (and closers) -C. Tangana/Dj Shadow* (Honey Dijon) -Caribou (Jeff Mills? Literally no idea) -Bicep (Dj Coco) *I see DJ Shadow playing the 12am Primavera slot (Jon Hopkins, RTJ, Moderat) but Ray-Ban would make sense. Thing is: Tangana is billed way higher than him and he already played the 10pm Ray-Ban slot so I'm not sure if giving him this 10pm Primavera slot would be a downgrade if we agree that Ray-Ban > Primavera. So, maybe he plays Ray-Ban again but later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess he will closing Mordor on Friday. He's my most anticipated act at the moment, but he would be the lowest billed act to close Mordor since in years,and in a really packed day. Can't envision him bumping down The Strokes, Lana Del Rey, Beck or Brockhampton to play either before sunset or outside Mordor. Kacey will probably play early Mordor, Bikini Kill might counter Beck or Lana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope so too, but he already had a 3am spot at Ray Ban in 2015, so I could see the organization bumping him up to Mordor for the sake of something different.

Float Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 Oh nice! I wasn’t expecting anything more than perhaps some domestic acts. So there’s a good chance indeed of a couple of established acts, maybe even more so with it being the 20th anniv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
