The purple names could be the bigger a38/dance arena acts right? Certainly not main stage in my opinion with a couple exceptions 

Dance arena gets added later, I'd imagine Steve Aoki will be in a38, rather than party arena.

He was in the dance arena last time,though I have no clue how his status might have changed. I don’t mind as long as he’s not on the main stage

It was announced with the party arena programme, that's why I'm thinking a38. Probably post headliners or even as a headliner.

I feel there Is a missing middle line up. We had a few older recognised acts before. I am still thinking a rap act to be added. 

Miles Kane, Glass Animals, Monsters and Men, Keane, Daughter,Foster the People , FKA, Foals, Stormzy. What's happened to this. I thought we were getting a great middle line up and not as much spent on the top heavy acts 

Weller, stereophonics etc. I would have expected something as we had Johnny Marr, Ashcroft .

Got to be honest and say thats a really poor announcement in my opinion. 

How can you have:

three rock/indie headliners

two pop headliners

one dance headliner

And then fill most of the other slots with dance acts? Seems unbalanced.

 

Hardly full of dance in the other top slots, out of the top 22 names there is 3 or 4 djs.

From a UK-representation point of view (sorry, not being xenophobic in any way, just relating to acts I know outside of the top tiers) we had the following indie type acts.

In 2019 we had:

Richard Ashcroft, Johnny Marr, Frank Turner, Frank Carter, Franz Ferdinand, Razorlight, Idles

In 2022:

Inhaler, Black Honey, Fontaines DC 

I saw all of the seven acts mentioned from 2019. In 2022 I'll be watching Black Honey (despite having seen them 3 times before) and, perhaps, Fontaines DC.

I've really got my fingers crossed for the next announcement!

Looking at it, perhaps they are trying to move away from the UK generic indie guitar acts. If you look outside the 2 top tiers, not as many acts from the UK.

So looking at European acts to entice more customers from Europe. Perhaps numbers have been down from the UK.

I wondered the same. And, in hindsight, 2019 probably was quite unbalanced in that regard but it feels as though the shift has gone slightly too far the other way.....so far at least.

Kensington sounds more like an UK band than anybody else on the lineup. There's also Viagra Boys to an extent and Iceage. You can check those out as well even if they aren't UK acts

Iceage look promising after a quick listen.

Inhaler and Fontaine's DC are both Irish and not from the UK

    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
