Can imagine they open doors at 7pm and the band come on stage at 7.30pm ish hence need to extend finish time. Doors are at 5:30 btw https://www.salarazzmatazz.com/en/29-05-2024/the-national-primavera-a-la-ciutat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would expect some words spoken by some acts playing over the weekend. Jarvis for example will probably speak about him. As for the Shellac slot, I assume they'll keep it in the schedule as intended and simply play some Shellac/Steve Albini songs that he has worked on over the PA.

xxialac Posted May 9 Report Share Posted May 9 RIP too Johann Johannson and Kevin Garcia who died just in the months before their performance. I doubt they have time to organise a show and certainly won't name a stage after him (though could name something else after them). Assume will just be other musicians lauding his work and as they haven't released the timetables they don't have to be seen to replacing their slot specifically so will just add another band.

scatteredscreens Posted May 9 Report Share Posted May 9 there's a slim chance for tomorrow. I assume the memorial will be removed by tomorrow as you literally cant access anything else on the site, even general information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would seem disrespectful to quickly pivot to positive news. I think this week is no longer on the table unless they trickle it out quietly tomorrow afternoon and then make the announcement on Monday.

From memory, it was disclosed as wanting to freshen things up but I got the impression it was more of a falling out. He's still djing, I assume he could play.

Please note the link contains upsetting comments by him. Yeah fair. I was only aware of this today after I already made my posts yesterday. That's a good article which outlines everything quite clearly. Very yikes. Dont know why it brought up him being pro-puberty blockers though.
