Either all the J-pop music is absolutely brilliant and mindblowing live or Primavera booking team is absurdly good in cherry picking. I've only seen three J-pop artists (all of them at Primavera - Perfume, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, Atarashii Gakko!!!) and it's always the same - for the first few minutes you just can't entirely comprehend what you see and then comes the absolute euphoria.
Other Saturday's highlights (are they even highlights when they cover almost eveything I saw?):
The Lemon Twigs, Royel Otis, Liberato and absolutely perfect goodbye party by Romy (+ AG!!!) + Charli XCX.
Best day of the festival for me and, once again, best Primavera ever. *

I don’t think I mentioned passing trade. My point was that the Pyramid itself is a draw and that will help bolster SZA’s numbers. I expect she’ll do quite well.
