frankburns Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 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? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope they'll headline 2023, that's more realistic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenfire Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 Tbh considering AF already did the whole secret set thing last time it was probably a bit of a stretch to think they were just gonna do it again. I know they seem to have a good relationship with the festival, but I think that’ll just result in them headlining on most album cycles rather than getting in secret set after secret set, so I’d 100% expect them to headline next year.

Supernintendo Chalmers Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 With six weeks to go until W1, I'd imagine we must be due some information of some description soon? Realistically, what's left to announce? Stage splits? Timings? Map? Partners? (Estrella, etc) Replacement for MA? Forgive me, this is my first Prima, so I'm not sure how it's worked in the past.

chemica Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 Primavera sending out a questionnaire this morning asking “what would you do if one of your group couldn’t make the event?” and “is your accommodation modifiable?” and “will you go to Primavera 2023 in Madrid?” isn’t filling me with hope.....

I haven't received this. But I haven't received any emails from Primavera for about a year. I've emailed Dice to ask if I should be concerned that I don't receive anything from them but didn't get a helpful response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostdancer1 Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 (edited) In 20+ years of attending festivals around the world, I think, pound-for-pound, Primavera are by far the worst for communication and providing clear information.

wedgie Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 In light of getting a glasto ticket and lack or organisation within my group I am sadly looking to sell a general admission weekend 2 ticket. Ticket is on AccessTicket and can transfer over to your own account, selling at face value. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just beaten by Mad Cool, who STILL haven't announced that QOTSA aren't gonna be there. That said it would be hilarious at this point if Mad Cool is the one gig QOTSA do end up playing.

I can confirm that Mad Cool are without doubt in a whole different stratosphere of awfulness. I like Primavera’s communication but I recognise that I’m in a minority.

bobhoward Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 Not reading too much into that survey.. but I think it’s a little odd that there are like no sponsors listed on the website and some of the information- especially the Poble Espanyol shows- feel like we don’t have the full picture.. maybe just jaded since we’ve been through two years of cancellations.. I’ve never actually been but I thought from reading what others were saying on here that Poble Espanyol isn’t really a venue they’d book just to have two bands a night play.. seems like we should have more acts confirmed? It also seems like we have overall less acts this year- maybe that just means fewer stages but I would have expected more confirmations of smaller acts at this point. Maybe just can chalk it up to the usual poor communication Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Would specify what "the early hours" means, headliners are off at 2/3am depending how you classify headliners but acts are on until 6am. Prima is weird, there's still big names after the biggest names and they're not necessarily all dance either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you Google “Nitbus Barcelona” you’ll see the AMB website with routes and timetables. There are normally around 3 night buses per hour on most routes and they mostly go from Plaça de Catalunya. You can plan your route on Google maps as well. Edited April 20 by username666 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presume if you're leaving the festival around 6 then you should be alright as that's when public transport typically starts for the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin_89 Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 I would recommend the Citymapper app. I've used it everything when I'm in Barcelona (also works for many other cites). It's easy and give so many options to get from A to B, and have never give me wrong information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
