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

Depends on what hour do you want to leave the festival. If at 6 am, no problems at all. Before... It could be a problem because catching a taxi is quite impossible

Massive Attack have Young Fathers supporting them in gigs ahead and Mad Professor too. 

Hope they can bring to Barcelona...

Love me some young fathers, where did you see this excellent news?

Ah All points east, nice

These days he often uses CDJs with the help of a TR-909  drum machine

Actually this is his usual setup, so it is a dj/live set.

I had the luck to see him live alongside Claudio Sinatti at Teatro Carignano during Club to Club 2012, what a show.

They're tour buds, Primavera unexpected?

The Thursday of Prima could certainly do with adding Young Fathers.

The last thing the Thursday needs is more clashes.

I knew someone was going to say this. 

Throw them up against The National. I offer this sacrifice to the clash gods! 

As long as I get to see Massive attack, Pavement, black midi, Sampa and maybe AEAEA I'll be content for the Thursday.

Certainly Massive Attack will bring some guests on this tour. Maybe Tracy Thorn?

The way they've teased 'Special Guests' announced soon for their All Points East day suggest they have someone interesting planned (in addition to Young Fathers)

I'm glad the first time I'm seeing them they're going to hopefully have YF and other guests join.

APE also says "UK exclusive" for MA. I hope this means we will hear something new from them. Why not announcing the new album before festival dates, though? maybe it's just a new show, with no new music...

They always have great guests!

Very hard to see who they will bring but Young Fathers must be the favourites at the moment. I'd expect one of Martina Topley Bird or Eliazabeth Fraser. Tricky probably not.

Any indications of that? Except for conversations round her book she hasn´t performed live for like... two decades?

If she ever return to stage I certainly hope it is in the capacity of EBTG. Also some of her solo material is quite good.

Of course I agree it's a long shot but Tricky hadn't performed with MA for two decades before he joined them for Hyde Park gigs.

Part of MA's success has been their convening capacity. They can attract amazing vocalists etc on the basis of their reputation.

And they innovate too, especially with visuals. Be interesting to see how their gig turns out.

[puckno]

Well. Massive Attack live is definitely not one of my favourites. To see EBTG live however is a dream! 🙂

[Orens]

Both Fuzz and Ty Segall are ruled out.

i would have thought the same thing about Elizabeth Fraser before she came out of hiding last year and went with them on their Mezzanine tour, so there's still hope (and hope for EF to come to Primavera!)

[jaredean]

i'm thinking that there might be a surprise Stephen Malkmus set during the festival at one point with his new solo album dropping in March...doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility - it isn't like he needs to bring the Jicks with him 🤔

Good thought. Who else might do a solo set.

Perhaps Matt Berninger (though his time in Barcelona is probably too short to fit two performances in)?

On the 2020 thing, they should get st VINTcent (Catalan for 20) as a surprise act.
