Underworld

Underworld is never not a good idea...

Wonder whether no Doctor Music next year (presumably not running after the disaster of this year) will help with bookings. And Pitchfork Berlin is a new festival in May. Might be some crossover potential.

They closed the mordor 2015, and will headline FF fest.

The other mentioned acts were Anderson .Paak, Bicep, Jamie xx and Flight Facilities

[xxialac]

Anderson Paak is surely a shoo-in. Gabi rates him.

For those who've done Barcelona and Porto, I'm tempted to do the latter. Barcelona I've been to a lot and the festival there and something more stripped back does sound quite appetising.

What's NOS Primavera like? Pros, cons etc?

There's several people's answers to this on the main Reddit board, which addressed this really well I thought.

Yeah, that's exactly the one. Captures the differences and is spot-on.

Mentioned for FF? Or did I misunderstand?

Suede and Primal scream I think are a bit bigger than Pavement, and apeal to the same demographic, both played Ray-Ban/primavera this year. But they tour a lot and Pavement is a much more special show.

Stereolab are a bit smaller in my opinion, and also Was a reunion (though not exclusive) and did Ray-Ban.

So basically it can go either way. 

Personally I hope it will be Ray-Ban. By far the best stage

Pavement are possibly Suede and Primal Scream sized in Europe but in North America there is no comparison - Pavement play in arenas, or multiple nights in theatres.  There will be lots of people (including myself) who have missed the last few Primaveras but are very tempted to return (for possibly one last time!) because of Pavement. They aren't reforming after 9 years to play an exclusive show on the Ray Ban or Primavera stages.

Mentioned for an unspecified European festival that shares acts with Primavera. 

[Rico_Pliskin]

BTW that FF festival has just added loyle carner, fatima yamaha and Park hye jin.

Is there a good estimate of how many Americans are actually traveling to Primavera to see them?

About 5% normally I’d say. Perhaps a few more this year but imagine most people will wait til they tour the US.

I'd have thought cigarettes after sex a good bet. If so, please put them indoors - they got lost last time. New album out today.

[Mau5]

Rex Orange County has been ruled out - He's doing shows in Australia at the same time.

Jeez, they gave you Pavement and you couldn't even get that one on there.

Bon Iver in the middle? Wow. 

And every year the same mistake, The Oh Sees changed their name in Oh Sees.

I'd be very surprised if we get even 3 of the acts that are on those top 5 lines.

Do you mean before Primavera Sound 2019?

Think it was soon after, pretty sure the person who made it just used the most requested artists, hence the 'my fake line up was better' at the top
