Primavera Sound 2024

[scatteredscreens]

The Cure would be a stellar booking for an older band slot. Probably the best option they have if they're available. They've been on great form when I saw them in 2022 and by the sounds of it the US tour this year was also good.

Will have to see if they hit up fests next year but it does follow their touring pattern of own shows -> fests a year or two after

In the case of The Strokes I seriously hope not - I recently went to Rock En Seine and they were so dreadful I could only take 15-20min of their set before leaving. Julian was clearly out of it and the sound was woeful, so much so that there were a fair amount of complaints about them online afterwards 

Not to mention as well that their fans completely blocked off the front of the main stage to fans of the other artists (I was there for Foals that day) which generally I don't have an issue with, but then they hardly paid attention or showed any emotion. They were just stood still and occasionally talking over the other bands, and I don't want that crowd going to Primavera 

 

I would like to see The Cure though 

As a counterpoint, I saw The Strokes in Spain two weeks ago, the crowd was lovely, the sound was great and Julian was on cracking form. Played all the hits too. 

Moot point though as they definitely wont play again next year.

Strokes are too much of a gamble on a good performance for a band their size imo. But yeah they played too recently.

Could Selena Gomez be the Halsey/Miley pop act? Apparently her new album is going to be produced by Fred Again so she might be changing her style a bit to become more alt-pop.

Slowdive - Deerhunter - Belle & Sebastian - Danny Brown - Anyma - Tale of Us - Grimes - Adrianne Lenker - Billy Woods - Squid - King Guizzard - Anohni - Carly Rae Jepsen - Liturgy - Model/Actriz - Lil Ugly Mane - Romy - Tim Hecker - Lil Yachty - James Blake

Olivia Rodrigo arena tour in the UK next May apparently being announced tomorrow so if there’s no Spain/Barcelona date I’d assume she’s nailed on for this. 

There are both Barcelona and Portugal solo dates included, according to the sources floating around. If thats true, shes not Doing PS

Dua Lipa did a Barcelona solo date and PS the next week, so I wouldn't completely rule it out. 

[Martin_89]

She's not coming. Plays in Copenhagen, Denmark 30/5 and in Berlin 1/6.

Hope The Breeders are booked

[foolee]

What heavier acts are people hoping for/expecting next year? 

Think Bob Vylan would be a great addition. 

Also, do we think Yeah Yeah Yeahs could be back so soon?

Please no more crappy pop acts like this.

I doubt it, since their 2022 show was basically in support of the most recent album.

That Barcelona arena date was a postponed show that got moved forward due to the many COVID delays. Wouldn't consider that as a new precedent.

As long as it's not stuff that will attract lads on tour, I'm hoping for lots of average stuff on Mordor so I can spend less time there.

Who do folks thing will be the big electronic act this year? Calvin Harris money type (presuming he commanded a high enough fee)

Justice and Dj Koze are releasing new albums in 2024 and Disclosure did the same this August and announced that they were not touring but.

Let's add another "again",  taking into account his two sets in 2022... However, I really don't think 2024 will be his fourth PS appearance in three years.

[xxialac]

Maybe Bis will come back for a second appearance?

Book the Chemical Brothers you cowards!

I'd happily take Justice though and they do seem a bit more likely. Feels like The Chemical Bros have been touring Europe forever and PS has probably had loads of opportunities to book them, maybe they don't fancy them for whatever reason. Not saying they'd be cheap but I can't imagine they'd be that expensive a booking, would they?

New album though so could be the perfect time!

Chemical Brothers strike me as the kind of act the festival might’ve avoided previously due to maybe not being Pitchfork-y enough or whatever,  but now that they’re willing to be a bit more flexible with their bookings hopefully there’s more of a chance, and they’d go down an absolute storm so seems like a no-brainer booking to me.
