Apologies if I missed this but weren't PS supposed to announce the Boiler Room program at some point? Has this been cancelled?

The said the have to release the boiler room program yes, I think they'll do in a few weeks. 

Something like : 

Mid April : Boiler Room

Early May : new map

Mid May : timetables

 

Considering they are not going to sold out, I think they'll add a few names. Let's see. Something like The Walkmen would be great

[Nesser]

Last year the Boiler Room line-up was announced 6 days before the festival so we'll see

walkmen have a show in the US on may 31st sadly...

And one in Copenhagen on 10 June. 

If they are flying over for that they have a good window for Madrid. 

Maybe they'll be added to Madrid and someone else for Primavera (e.g. Young Fathers who are in the south of France the first weekend)

keep forgetting about madrid.

 

yep, stranger, tighter things have happened...

Are Primavera still interested in the likes of Mount Eerie? They are in Belgium & Germany til June 1 and then Dublin June 11, though they might prefer to continue a run of intimate gigs on the continent to the rough and tumble of a festival. I saw them play a lovely set in Mordor (of all places) despite some soundbleed from the stage next door. This was 2013, the last year with two stages facing the sea and bands overlapping all the time.

I don’t think there will be other new acts announced besides the boiler room and maybe some more djs for the opening night. The Walkmen and mount eerie wouldn’t shift tickets so they have no need to add them. I don’t think why they haven’t considered Bon iver. Classic primavera act, would be perfect for the Saturday to balance things out, would actually shift tickets. I guess it’s too late now though

Just released, right? Now it´s very hard they come... But, that date in Copenhagen it´s still very strange alone in the schedule.

We still don't know if the Apolo will host shows all night long on the Wednesday after the Pet Shop Boys at the Forum, right?

That's unusual.

Actually, there is no indication that there will be Primavera a la Cuitat on Wednesday this year. And since all the ciutat concerts for Monday and Tuesday are announced since November, I would be surprised if there is any ciutat programme on Wednesday night this year.

I agree but wouldn’t rule it out. 
After all last year they added an entire day (!) at the very last minute with Wet Leg, Rina S etc.

What I find weird this year is having Pet Shop Boys headlining 40% of the days.

[BenjoDiMeo]

It would seem weird not to have the Apolo on the Wednesday, given 1/ history of past editions and 2/ the festival owns the venue (if I'm not wrong)

[xxialac]

A winged victory for the sullen now playing some gigs mid-may. Would have been great…

[JedTheHumanoid]

Madrid map is out 

 

 

 

 

 

[Fnmentaluk]

Yeah seen the map , video. doesn't seem to be any shade , hard to get a sense of scale but looks like sound bleed could be a problem.

[xxialac]

Madrid has the potential for so many issues that Barcelona doesn’t have to deal with.

Also I heard they are really struggling with ticket sales for Madrid.

Good for us because they could consider a last add on and if they do it for madrid they might book the same act for Barcelona too (it’s convenient)

[BA_Barrabus]

That's giving me Woodstock '99 vibes

Do you think they’ll reduce Madrid prices and offer incentives or do you think they’ll save face?

 

got a few friends interested in Madrid but the prices are too high for them.

No idea but I feel confident now that the secondary market will have some cheap tickets.

Also for madrid it's only a month before from Mad Cool which has a lot more big names that appeal to general crowd. Primavera has a much harder competition in Madrid compared to Barcelona and Porto.

SZA just announced for Open'er, genuinely quite an embarrassment for Primavera if they've fumbled that one.

Seems like she's an Open'er exclusive (for some reason)
