Do we reckon Metronomy will be playing the Wednesday then?

Confirmed in the press release I believe, along with The Jesus and Mary Chain.

Hide water bottle cap! There's a 25cl limit on water bottles and the security bastards will confiscate the cap from the bottle if they see it, so hide the cap somewhere else. It's pathetic and stupid but it's part of the process.

Can I just say that two years ago I got 3 cans of beer in literally by holding them whilst walking through security hahaha

I guess some smaller names for that are still possible but I can also imagine they'll rearrange the BITS area a bit (pun intended) to accomodate a larger "main" stage on the beach. Acts like Lizzo or even SOPHIE were almost too big for the Lotus stage and having that stage horizontal to the sea would allow for more capacity. Only, Desperados stage would have to go then

I wish they'd just drop the live stage on the beach at this point. Desperados is sweet and El Punto is there to exist. Considering the fact that this announcement seem to have short in about one live stage compared to last year's (6-7 less acts per day). I wish somebody would ask Gabi about the stage layout at Exiliados.

You must look incredibly innocent. Or distracting.

Is the warehouse still a thing? Went in 2018 and it was one of the highlights

yep, renamed RayBan Studios.

bad crowd management though, big, slow queue twice I tried to go in, and then half-empty inside. no way of leaving to go to the toilet without having to queue up again.

How much of a problem would staying in el masnou be too? Ran out of possible Airbnb options for a group of 8, understand its miles away but was thinking getting to the Parc in the day time wouldn't be too much of an issue, and then can always get a taxi in night, have seen that taxis are a bit of a shambles at night although

I disagree. Different fanbase.

By that logic you can never clash anyone with anyone.

what's the previous  highest profile clash at Primavera? did they ever let two acts this big collide? I was there in 2018 and Beach House clashed with Asap and if I am not wrong last year was Stereolab vs James Blake, wasn't it?  Tyler vs Bauhaus would be a completely new level of annoying tho

ASAP clashed with Beach House and Jon Hopkins in 2018!

I remember in 2014, NIN clashed with MOGWAI and TY SEGALL

Radiohead clashed with Dinosaur Jr and people were pissed

The Nick Cave and Fever Ray clash sucked. I missed out on Fever Ray, ended up on the SEAT stage with Nick.

I had to leave Aphex Twin to watch the whole Gizz set. 

Does Tyler, The Creator vs. Ty Segall vs. Idles counts?

[ConfidenceMan]

Fever Ray v Nick Cave was killer.

I remember being really annoyed in 2017 when Arcade Fire, Wild Beasts and King Krule clashed. Only 3 acts I wanted to see that day and all clashed!

Absolutely! The Nick Cave/Fever Ray Clash...

I opted for FEVER RAY, as she is as rare to see as a pearl in an oyster, and I absolutely didn't regret it, killer performance. 

Afterwards I ran to Nick Cave to see  the last 2-3 songs.

[Gnarler]

The Solange vs Lizzo clash last year wasn't as big a deal  as say Nick Cave vs Fever Ray but was just the dumbest organising I've seen. Put them on opposite ends of the festivals and overlapped their entire sets.

Oh yeah, Rosalia/Solange vs. Lizzo. The sandy Lotus stage was the worst experience I had at PS.

Someone on Reddit made a table of all acts including genres, years active, origin, etc.

2017 - Glass Animals (my most anticipated concert of that day) vs. Arcade Fire secret show. At least I didn't have to think about it too much, since the secret show was announced just before it actually took place. So I decided to wait two more days for Arcade Fire regular concert and to enjoy Glass Animals. However, I couldn't enjoy it properly, because I couldn't stop thinking wheter I didn't make a mistake.   But even nowadays sometimes I check a song or two from that Glass Animals concert on youtube, and I am glad I was there.

news announcement finally on the site, still no day-breaks for cuidad

I swear I read "Bad Bunny as the shittiest star of contemporary urban music". Seemingly the only superlative I could associate with Bad Bunny.

Good spot. You bet your ass I'll fill this one in too and start freaking out about non existent clashes.

Speaking of which... A Brockhampton/King Gizzard/Fontaines is the scariest thing I've ever had to think about.

Almost zero. Surely if his first announced gig is in September, he's not ready.

Turns out the first dates are end of May...
