Arcade Fire just announced a London Koko show on the 29th of April, which makes it less likely they will play Primavera. I can't see them hanging around Europe for over a month, or flying back to America and then back in. 

Totally agree. Seems too long a timeframe.

Unless they aren't done announcing random EU spots. It's Arcade Fire, they could announce a week prior and get away with it.

Yeah that makes them totally unlikely (which they were before tbh).

How many stages are there usually at Primavera? I've checked out a few maps from previous years but I can't exactly make it out. Are they all open air?

It's not exactly the same ever year, but in 2019 (according to the clashfinder), there were 16 stages and three of them were indoor, I think.

[xxialac]

In the Forum 16 stages, albeit including about 4 or 5 stages that don't get used much/where very small bands play/where bands play in the early afternoon only.

Then there's at least 1 extra stage in the city centre during the festival days.

2, possibly 3, stages indoors (Auditori, possibly Warehouse (can't remember if/how it was used last year), one other).

Does the schedule usually come quite late then (been to Porto edition, but was years ago and I can't remember)? Was hoping to do some line-up revision once I actually know who I'll be seeing.

yeah, it's around that every year

Turn on the Bright lights in full at both their gigs?

At most at just the Apolo gig would be my guess.

They have a new album coming out in the Summer so surely want to promote that.

I just asked and they said no.

I can confirm, from reliable source, that this year we will have Estrella Damm.

Pretty good replacement for Massive Attack tbf. Think they’ll smash it.

Did you receive any response from Dice?

I have the same issue, want to put a ticket on the waiting list, but it says it's unavailable....

Haven't heard anything back yet. Gonna try refund request and see if that's gets me anywhere but I'm guessing that it won't.

I emailed today and received this:

So sorry to hear you can no longer use this ticket, but thanks for letting us know.

We still have tickets available for this show, which means the fan Waiting List and option to Return tickets aren't activated in-app yet. As soon as the show sells out we'll be able to offer your ticket to the fans on the Waiting List to purchase. 
 
I would advise for you to keep an eye out as the tickets are running low & should be selling out soon.

In the meantime, you always can transfer your ticket over to a friend's DICE account. You'll just need to send over their full name, email address, and phone number, and we'll sort the rest for you!

Let us know if you have any questions here.

 

Seems like BS, as it was sold out previously, and people on reddit have been able to return tickets to the Waiting List occasionally it seems.

that's for a Weekend 1 ticket btw.

Yeah that's BS. There was a waiting list last week and my mate managed to get her weekend 1 tickets onto the waiting list a few days after I said I couldn't get mine on there.

I've seen people on reddit say that request refund works better but idk how that will go with there now being more tickets on sale.

Nah I think they've got gone from 0% likely chance to 5%. It's the sort of gig they play before they announce a wider tour. Don't see why they'd come over just to play in a 1400 capacity place and not play anywhere else in Europe. But then that might just be wishful thinking.

they'll probably play more gigs in Europe, but to play PS means staying around for almost 5 weeks, that's too long

[Memory Man]

Ticket update:

weekend 1 full pass available on dice (general not vip)

thursday 2nd june day ticket available

all other day tickets and all of weekend 2 sold out

A stretch for sure. Depends what their plans are.

[frankburns]

It seems a bit lazy that Primavera hasn't removed Massive Attack from the poster yet. They cancelled their tour 4 weeks ago!

https://www.primaverasound.com/en/barcelona

Are they going to leave the poster that way until they have found a replacement for MA?

they won't have a surprise 5 weeks tour in Europe, starting 9 days from now. Let's hope they'll headline 2023, that's more realistic

[chickenfire]

Arcade Fire are back in New York on May 7th for SNL so won’t be hanging about for a month. It’s possible they come back over but not likely
