Barrow is a notorious oversharer (and arsehole) on socials so I think he'd at least hint at something or give a neutral response, particularly given they've just done an appearance, so I'd say this is as good as confirmation they won't be around next summer at least. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Incognito Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 The 1975 aren't gonna be at Primavera Sound I don't think. Arctic Monkeys are likely but hope they also aren't booked. Leave them for Mad Cool to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arctic Monkeys are likely but hope they also aren't booked. Leave them for Mad Cool to have. I think if PS is happy to have Dua Lipa as a headliner, they won't say no to the 1975 either. Nothing wrong with either act IMO, just represents a change at the top. I'd say we can expect a nostalgia/oldy act, a big pop headliner, an indie band, and an up-and-comer that prompts everyone to say "ah they're not a headliner" only for them to get a huge crowd. Add in some electronic bits and it's a handy formula. So for me, that could very easily be Nine Inch Nails, the 1975, someone like LCD soundsystem, Vampire Weekend or Bon Iver, and maybe a Phoebe Bridgers or Mitski type, with the electronic slots filled out by the likes of Bicep, the Chemical Brothers or Moderat. But I won't be at all surprised if none of those acts are there either. The wildcard then is the mega R&B or pop act. Your Frank Ocean/Weeknd type, which could gobble up the pop slot too, or be alongside it. Its fun to speculate - but with the slow pivot of all festivals to include a broader style of music, including more pop and reggaeton, etc, I'm certainly finding it trickier to guess in advance!

We might find out fast, whole tour is as good as sold out so they won't have to keep his appearance under embargo or whatever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t find those good ambience at other fest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nesser Posted July 26, 2022 Report Share Posted July 26, 2022 It certainly looks like a lock but keep in mind that we've seen several classic PS bands playing different festivals. Wilco comes to mind, St. Vincent, even Phoenix when they premiered their last record... I'm sure the band is plotting their tour around Glastonbury and Jarvis wants to play Primavera but if the shows premiere by late June I could see them playing BBK Live as happened this year with Stromae or Phoebe Bridgers.

Phoebe has never played Primavera I think? Not the same relationship as Jarvis and Primavera, and American acts aren't going on long tours as often as the Euro/UK ones. Also, Glasto is just two weeks after PS Madrid (three after PS Barcelona). I'd say they are far more likely to play Primavera than Mad Cool.

Nesser Posted July 26, 2022 Report Share Posted July 26, 2022 (edited) Was never considering Mad Cool -and I certainly hope they won't get them since I have no plans to attend as long as I can avoid it- but BBK. This year they got Moderat, Phoebe Bridgers, Moses Sumney, Stromae, Kelly Lee Owens, Four Tet, BADBADNOTGOOD... most of them touring with new music and not apperaring at Primavera so given they also nailed a couple of reunion tours (LCD and Supergrass lol) I could see them booking Pulp if the dates align. Nevertheless, Jarvis and co should be a sure shot for Primavera next year. Edited July 26, 2022 by Nesser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulp can do both if it works out for them, not something we've never seen before, just like The Cure, Rosalia, Tame Impala, etc. as headliners, and some 2nd/3rd liners in 2022 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
