Primavera Sound 2024

[UsernameHere]

"those looking forward to the next Primavera Sound in Barcelona should mark their calendars, as 2024 Primavera Sound Barcelona will take place from May 30 to June 1."

Thought I'd start the 2024 thread. What are your lineup predictions?

[xxialac]

Portishead and Neil Young.

[Daniel Comino Royuela]

Everything seems to point to Pulp and The Cure

[brosch]

SZA, Nine Inch Nails, PJ Harvey, Portishead, Ahnoni & The Johnsons, Sigur Ros, C. Tangana 

[Fnmentaluk]

Would love to have mogwai do a live show of the Zidane film in the auditori. 

Finally get chemical brothers.

[DarthSaul]

Going out on a limb and saying Arcade Fire 20th Anniversary of Funeral European Exclusive
 

[livenstu]

Lana Del Ray, PJ Harvey, Jenny Lewis, Janelle Monae, Bjork, Jessica Pratt, Bob Mould, Deerhoof, Flying Lotus, U.S. Girls, Party Dozen, Chat Pile, Madlib, Arthur Verocai(??) - all acts that have either played before or that I can see happening.

Outside bets / wish list - Ween, The Feelies, Jonathan Richman, Faith No More (or Mr Bungle?), Max Richter, Danny Elfman, D'Angelo, The Roots, Tindersticks

[ConfidenceMan]

Sufjan. Sufjan. SUFJAN. 

Please! 

He doesn't strike me as the anniversary tour (or any f**king tour) type, so we won't mark it up as the big 19th anniversary of Illinois...

Glad to see the back of the elongated subject line for the 2023 edition tbh (no offence to the original poster!)

I really hope you are right.  Been on my wishlist for a long time but I see the farewell tour is this year (with European dates), so left them off.  Unless it is a 'farewell tour'

[emmanuel]

The American band "Rex" has reunited, I really hope someone bring them to Europe.

If your wishlist fest was announced, I'd be there with bells on. 

No more word of Sault since they made some noises about live shows, is there? Hopefully soon. I reckon we're more likely to get a London residency in a small to medium sized venue for 3-5 days rather than a full tour, at least at first, but hopefully they go all out and announce a full tour of their own shows this winter and then festivals next summer. 

[Drums Please Fab]

Id love to see Air and Aimee Mann. 

[FloorFiller]

Lana Del Rey, Nine Inch Nails, The Cure, Pulp, SZA, PJ Harvey, Janelle Monae, Chemical Brothers, Bjork, Sigur Ros…

Equal parts wish list and equal parts something I could see them realistically booking that would be ace. Really hoping they don’t continue down the lane EDM/chart-bait path of Calvin-like bookings. I think there’s a fine line with commercial pop kind of acts that they got just right with the 2022 edition and just went a little too far over with the Calvin booking this year.

[Boss89]

Queens Of The Stone Age - Björk - Pulp - Sigur Ros - Yusuf/Cat Stevens- Anderson Paak

Moderat  - Devo - Haim - Brian Eno - King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Daughter - Beach Fossils - Wilco - Squid - Julien Baker - Brian Jonestown Massacre - Genesis Owusu - Osees - Fu Manchu - Sigrid - Skegss

[Drums Please Fab]

Beach House would be f**king epic....

Played last year so probably unlikely they’ll be back so soon. Can’t remember who I saw instead but really wish I’d gone to see them.

I think you're right. On the bright side I think they're an act PS will book as soon as they're available, so I'm sure we'll get them if they do actually tour.

I want to believe it’s portishead + my bloody valentine year. However, a radically different edition would be welcome (weird, surprising headliners >> tame impala and the national for the 7th time). 
 

Finally, I don’t want to be the one to say it loud…but is Frank Ocean really out, given the disaster he did with his live performer career? Would they be so crazy to book him (lower price now, maybe)? I mean, I would take the risk and immediately buy the tickets

Chemical Brothers are a great shout - big name, cross generational, and they always put on a great show.

Some albums that are 20 years old in 2024...

The Killers - Hot Fuss / Arcade Fire - Funeral / The Walkmen - Bows & Arrows / Franz Ferdinand - FF / TV on the Radio - Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes / Modest Mouse - Good News for People Who Love Bad News / Air - Talkie Walkie / Sufjan Stevens - Seven Swans / Madvillain - Madvillainy (but obvs no MF Doom) / Mastodon - Leviathan / The Shins - Chutes too Narrow.

Other big stuff from Kanye, Greenday, Kings of Leon - but wouldn't seem right.

How is Morrissey viewed in Spain & Europe these days? You Are The Quarry is also 20.

The Killers are headliners at R&L along with Billie Eilish - for the added Live Nation angle.

I think the best description would be 'as a prick'
