Only 2 female headliners on this one, so much for New Normal?

Out of six, they usually list 9+ as headliners.

So not that less than usually, and you can easily count St. Vincent and FKA Twigs as headliners

I reckon Friday, it will be a Skrillex > Fred Again... > Four Tet triple biller.

i dont think the stage would hold enough people for fred and skrillex, would expect both of them on the main stages

[Enkidu]

wish we had gotten Silk Sonic instead of nxworries - now that would have been a good headliner

The untrustworthy insider was right in every thing he said btw: medium sized pop star (halsey), kdot, blur, edm dj (calvin harris), lana and pheobe not being there, etc. 

Le: he also predicted ghost 🙂

Thanks!

I know there were those who didn't trust what I was saying but everything I was told was from a reliable source.

That being said, there are things like Justice that I was told about and they didn't come. I guess there are names that fall off the lineup.

The smile broke my heart last year, being on the wrong weekend. Sault will be a good way to make up for it

If BCN and MAD have the same lineups yet MAD has no auditori, then doesn't it follow that BCN no longer books auditori type bands? End of an era, it feels like. No mention of auditori anywhere...

And speaking of an end of an era, no Apolo closing party too?

Not mentioned anything about Auditori, but they have auditori-type artists. Artur Verochai, Laurie Anderson and John Cale at first glance should definitely be there

Every year for donkey's years, the text highlighting the benefits of VIP and Pro reads 'priority access to the Auditori'.

Not this year....

By far the single biggest miss in this year's line up. When they do eventually announce a tour, getting tickets will be hell

Didn’t they say no auditorio for 2023 because it was already booked for some other event?

[Fuzhi]

I like the lineup and are considering going to Madrid. Two questions:

Will they have VIP areas in front of the stages? 

Do you think the festival will sell out fast?

Yeah, it does look like a bad sign.. oh well, hopefully one time thing

[xxialac]

Bit of a slow realisation that John Cale was in the band that performed I'll Be Your Mirror.

[Enkidu]

Hoping the presence of Kathleen and Julian means potential Bikini Kill and Strokes surprise sets after they had to cancel this year

No, and not as fast as last time. Even on years it does sell out there's usually thousands floating about on resale nearer the time so it's nothing to stress about if you can't afford it just yet.

lacking Moderat and Justice

The lack of Justice hurts a lot. Have wanted them every year for the past 6 years now but not booked for some reason.

They'd be a PERFECT fit and their live show is outstanding. Maybe they can be a later addition although I imagine they might be busy now.

[Enkidu]

[BenjoDiMeo]

This is a very strong side programme. Let's hope the ticketing process will work smoothly.

Los Bitchos?

Goat Girl?

Just Mustard?

Gwenno?

All new!

Pet Shop Boys playing twice? (and Sunday night is back on!)

[TheFullShaboo]

PSB gig on the Wednesday won’t be subject to the same capacity restrictions as the other La Cuitat gigs taking place will they? 

Also noticed that a few notable acts are playing the Cuitat gigs but not the festival - Pip Blom and The Goa express - which is annoying.

At least there are some very good names here that are either not on the main line up or get lost there. But I wouldnt put money on getting my favorite clubshows, even with preticketing

[Whos3000_]

Mid line up. Great if you haven't seen kendrick.

Halsey, Calvin harris and manesking are undefendable. Now I need to study the undercards, which look ok but globally weaker than last year. Plus, of course we will have kendrick vs swans or fka vs rosalia clashes.

Having looked through and made a list of acts I'm excited about each day, this is a hell of a lot worse than this year. We were really spoiled with the 2022 lineup tbh.

Everyone is talking about the headliners but for me that's fine (Blur, Kendrick, Depeche Mode, FKA Twigs) - it's the undercard that is well below the usual standard. There's hardly anything I care about right now in the very small names. Midweek lineup is good though.
