Blur, Halsey and Le Tigre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went both weekends last year, and the massive queues was only very evident on day 1 of weekend 1. By day 3, no queues at any bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately i've got so many friends that refuse to come to Primavera, because theyre judging it all based on people's day one reports. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ged Devereux Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 Assume it will still sell out? I’ll also be selling my early bird! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mortand Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 Not a terrible lineup by any means, and there's plenty I'd like to see. But perhaps lacking something really, really essential. Unwound might be the closest thing to that, seeing they're probably not gonna hit my part of the world. Ever. Delgados too. Besides that, I've already seen a lot of the other stuff I'm interested in, so I'm gonna pass on this one. My girlfriend and my gang aren't particularly overjoyed with the lineup either, which makes it easier to miss out. But goddamn, it's Barcelona in the early Summer. I'll definitely miss that.

matrainertje Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 Primavera was amazing this year. Excellent crowd ambiance too. This years lineup is stuffed. Very excited for Loyle Carner, Bad Religion and FKA Twigs. And Blur of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxialac Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 It's unlikely but possible that Blur's gig will be their first in seven years. Nothing before it scheduled so far... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible that many artists will not be touring next year and this is the best they could come up with, but some of these names I would expect to see at Sziget and not Primavera (Halsey, Calvin Harris, Skrillex, Maneskin 😕). It's also bothering me a bit that there are too many repeats from the 2019 and 2022 line ups, it doesn't feel as fresh, forward-thinking and well-curated as the previous editions, or at least that's how I feel at the moment (I'm afraid I'll skip this edition and will try selling my ticket). I really wonder how this will sell, Depeche Mode and Kendrick are huge names, but I just don't see people buying a ticket because of Halsey or Calvin Harris (or maybe I'm out of touch with reality here) I feel you. I'm pretty close to Sziget, Ultra Music even closer and Calvin Harris, Skrillex are huge waster for me. Tbh, I expected Björk, Men I Trust and Panda Bear/ Sonic Boom. Keepin my ticket, but my situation will be insecure until the last stop cuz of my job. I think it's the last time I've bought early bird ticket and in the future will study BKS more, think this festival is still ''old'' Primavera. Edit. I doubt that this edition will ended as sold out, maybe Barcelona, but Madrid no way. Edited November 29, 2022 by Festcrazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigger problem for me are these average bookings like Bad Religion and Maneskin - those are really unusual, thats like any other festival Still more than enough to look forward to aside from this of course. I’m listening to Mora right now - super Reggaeton I feel it's somewhat unfair on Bad Religion to call them an 'average booking'. They're one of the pioneers of SoCal punk and are very much a heritage act with a big Spanish fanbase (They sold out Poble Espanyol in their own right a few weeks before Primavera this year). I see them in the same bracket as Dinosaur Jr, Napalm Death and The Descendents who all got booked in recent years. If anything, I think they tie in more with the festivals original booking policy of going for well established bands from alternative genres.

Drums Please Fab Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 I’m 38 years old. I listen to a LOT of music and am a festival regular since age 16. I don’t know who most of these bands are. I have an early bird and will go for the laugh , moreso the piss up in Barcelona . Can easily just see myself going down to Parc del forum late each day to see Blur and Kendrick , Depeche Mode and spending the rest of my time in the city. Not a patch on last years lineup imo.

Well, that's the perfect opportunity to discover new music. It's kinda strange to attend Primavera just for headliners, but it's your choice! If you want some tips, please tell me what kind of music/bands you like. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
