Primavera Sound Barcelona 2023 + Primavera Sound Madrid 2023

[Jamm]

New Order clashing with Self Esteem is beyond brutal for me...

This looks so cramped NGL. Looks like a sound bleed nightmare 

Ron Brugal and Cupra stages overlap, so that's the biggest concern with soundbleed. Also the small P&B Stage with sound coming from Mordor.

I'm also bummed that the Binance Stage isn't there and not facing the grassy hill...

Ugh. But the problem isn’t sound bleed (they’ve had a similar set up in the past and are alternating acts by the old Primavera stage.

 

Do you have an example of an old map and how the stages were set up back then?

Here is the 2015 map. I really miss this Primavera Pro area.

This is quite possibly the most questionable choice ever, I can take most of the clashes but man, this is just a really poor decision on all fronts. I'm thinking about skipping Rosalia, as much as I wanted to see her I just don't think I'm willing to wait two hours at midnight on Sunday...

2 hours of nothing and then you have Rosalia, Death Grips and Gilla Band at the same time. 

In Madrid, after Death Grips ending at 00:25, the next for me is Rosalia too, at 2am, an Gilla band 3am. Sorry, but i´ll leave after DG.

That was the best set up

[xxialac]

The best setup was with the glorious old ATP stage facing the sea - a mini Rayban but you could sit and be close to the act. Shame was considered not safe/was damaging the stairs so they had to abandon it.

Couldn’t agree more. 

Harris vs Tokischa vs Maneskin is abysmal.

Saturday is a scheduling mess.

Still can't grab why they invited Maneskin. Imagine Dragons next year, then?

[UsernameHere]

They need to switch Rosalia and Calvin Harris. Almost every act I want to see on the Saturday are clashing so it would solve so many problems for me.

[xxialac]

I suppose there’s an outside chance one of Maneskin or Calvin Harris might to cancel.

Ideally both. Talk about Hobson’s choice.

Because I'm a bit of a sadist, I did a clashfinder for myself, even though I'm not going.

Certainly more depth in the lineup than I had initially thought, and I'd have a really good Thursday and Friday if I was there but man, that Saturday is an absolute write off for me. I think I had Gilla Band ticked off and that was it? 

Also, if anyone is wavering on Gilla Band because of the timing... Don't. Those guys are awesome live. Been a few years since I saw them outdoors but I always make an effort to get to one of their shows every time they tour if I can. Never disappoints.

Do we know if there is a curfew for how long they can play on the main stages? Could it be possible to get the Fred, Four Tet and Skrillex set right after Skrillex is done? 03-04?

[pipan]

Night Pro programme for Saturday is suspiciously light. Maybe some surprise set there?

[JenniferClareB]

Would anybody know the best place to sell tickets? i have two available for barcelona as my husband and i can no longer go 😭 looking £400 for the pair, full weekend passes with ticket protection and will be transferred via dice 🎶

Gilla Band, Death Grips, Rosalia and Two Shell all clash for me at that time. How is that even possible? It feels like they targeted me personally lol.

Try Twickets. You'll maybe need to reduce the price a little bit, though.

Just in case you don't know, tickets for Gilla Band/Cloud Nothings/Unwound 04/06 are still available on AccessTicket

[JenniferClareB]

Will check this out, thanks 😁

trying to figure out if I can see liturgy-caroline polachek and kelela stage-wise. caroline polachek into kelela doens't sound like it's worth it (and judging by the setlist I wouldn't skip caroline polachek finale). On the other hand liturgy into kelela seems like a very fun combo and it goes on a bit further than caroline polachek. That buys a bit more time against the nothingness pre-rosalia

Thrilled with the Ghost-Turnstile-New Order-Blur run on the first day, but that second day is clash central for me. Depeche Mode vs Moldy Peaches + Alvvays + Karate is a nightmare, and Japanese Breakfast vs Delgados would have been hell if i hadn't nabbed Sunday tix for Japanese Breakfast.

I feel you here pal. I have been telling myself I HAVE to see Rosalia as her latest tour is getting amazing reviews and it's her homecoming show. But I know how much I've been craving a Death Grips show. Then Gilla Band are unmissable live.

Praying Calvin Harris and Rosalia swap places.

Worst clashes for me are Arthur Verocai Vs. BCNR and Blur Vs Darkside, both very cruel. If anyone has any words of wisdom on these, please chime in..

Quite likely this will be the only chance for the rest of your life to see AV and Blur so quite an easy call. 

 

[BA_Barrabus]

Any recs for Cupra? Was thinking Delgados but anything else jumping out?

[Gregorick]

Just had my second tickets for two ciudad gigs refunded for no reason and now it’s not letting me get an extra one for my pals.
