Is it likely for Lizzo to return since she played Primavera this year? 

She was playing so far away from the traditional fest they might claim she played FiB 2019.

One of them I can't give. They're someone much smaller down the lineup but would maybe reveal who my source is. The other name I was given isn't a headliner but a female artist who has done very well this year.

PLEASE let it be Kacey Musgraves or King Princess. 

[Fnmentaluk]

Could be Julia jacklin. 

[kitkat129]

I don't think Lizzo will be back next year, Kacey Musgraves is a possibility but I hope it's Angel Olsen or Weyes Blood!

[xxialac]

I’m fairly sure it’s Weyes Blood. Meets the description (album in many album of year lists) and she’s been strongly rumoured.

Might be: Lizzo, Brittany Howard, Kacey Musgraves, Jamila Woods, Sharon Van Etten, Jenny Lewis

She's in that list you are correct sir. I've got to finish some work but will be more specific later today.

[Orens]

So I'd say Kacey, as Gabi spoke highly about her and said they tried to bring her last year.

Woo. Great news 

[PaulSt]

If Kacey is on the lineup I think she'll headline. Right now, especially in the US, she's bigger than both Erykah Badu and Solange

[Andrej]

Yes, she does Arena level shows in the US, there she is way bigger than Erykah and Solange combined. Not sure how popular Kacey is over here though.

Generally Primavera does not seem too keen on re-inviting smaller indie-bands after less than 5 years (Swans, Godspeed, Explosions and the Sky, etc) are touring in 2020 but have their own Barcelona date. Not sure about artists that have experienced change in popularity, however.

By the way, why not Iggy Pop as one of the many headliners?

I doubt she's that big in Europe

She's playing Lollapalooza Stockholm as a third line placement

 She won't headline this.

well observed. don't get the headliner feeling out of her either

[young_contra]

Thom Yorke in RW - does that help primavera's case?

[Valbork]

Using the first 3 names from last year's poster and the names bandied about on here. How does this sound as an equivalent line up? Last year 5/9 top liners were female, so this year 5/9 are male.

Thursday

(Erykah Badhu, Interpol, Future) becomes Lana Del Rey, Pavement and Tyler the Creator.

Friday

(Janelle Monae, Miley Cyrus, Tame Impala) becomes Beck, Kacey Musgraves and Massive Attack

Saturday

(Rosalia, Solange, J Balvin) becomes Lizzo upgraded from minor stage, Bad Bunny and a latin/pop female Camila Cabelo?

The National doing High Violet as a classic album, not on top line

[Guy Incognito]

I don't think Camilla Caballo will play as has a show in Barcelona in the spring.

That sound like one of the worst lineups for  next season

Fair enough. Didn't know this, but think they will look for someone who appeals to a younger Spanish crowd.

Not what I would choose, but I quite like it and as always, the undercard etc. Last year the headliners were not that eye catching, but it turned out to be my favourite PS so far.

 

[n=Nowheretohide]

all these new announcement and leaks do nothing for me, if all these leaks are true  next year we  might get even worse headliners then from this  year....all hope again on undercard.....still best info for me was the first one, Pavement and to some extenet Kim Gordon

Damn... I was hoping for Sharon Van Etten.

That sounds like one of the best lineups overall for me. Particularly as it will be strengthened with Thom Yorke, someone great and unexpected, a great electronic act like Kraftwerk and a killer undercard (the latter is essentially guaranteed as they have one every year).

[primaveralolz]

If you look at 2019 we had a lot incredible black women headlining and performing (Cardi B, she cancelled but still, Janelle Monae, Erykah Badu, FKA Twigs, Solange, Lizzo. Surprised folks aren't talking about who could fill those gaps. I think we will get some surprises here, maybe Missy Elliot, SZA, H.E.R., Snoh Aallegra (just booked for Lolla Stockholm), Lauryn Hill (been touring a lot in the States), Jamilla Woods.

Dare I say it but maybe they are working on one very exclusive name to put PS 2020 over the edge someone like Rihanna has been rumored.

Re: old school electronic - people keep saying Kraftwerk but I think The Chemical Brothers make a lot of sense. They keep announcing lots of festivals and have yet to perform in Barcelona with the new album. Seems like a good fit to me.
