Primavera Sound 2024

I saw an interview with Beth Gibbons from the 90s on youtube where she said 'you are not ready for this'. Well, not that exact phrase but she said all the words individually across the 10 minutes.

If they wanted ro hint at anything they wouldnt use the most random everyday phrase

Never done Primavera before, it is on my "i hope maybe one day" list.

If i decided to go and buy tickets now, how much would a sleeping on a budget cost me roughly, what are the options for 2 persons? Are there any big extra expenses, like going to/off festival site etc?

No you can take the metro to get to the festival site and back.

Two people at this time is rough for lodging, cheapest option is to share an apartment rental/Airbnb with a group. I would take a look ASAP at hotels in BCN, ideally around the Playa Catalunya since there's a free bus from the festival site that goes back there every night.

Travelodge Poblenou probably the best option I've seen, £600 for 4 nights and it's walkable. Food and drink is pretty reasonable in Barcelona depending on where you go.

£150 a night has made me realise the place i've booked is an absolute bargain...

Worth bearing in mind you cant get the metro back on thurs or fri unless you stay out until around 5am

I think its only a 24hr service on the saturday

Never tried the buses, usually stay poblenou and walk but its still kinda far when youre knackered end of night. 

Staying near the forum is the best but comes with a silly price tag and you need to book 11-12 months in advance. Our friends do it but its their main luxury of the year.

you will likely find it really hard and expensive to get a taxi home too.

Unfortunately accom prices and flight prices have ruined primavera barcelona for me as a brit now. Pure greed by all parties. You’d struggle to do the whole thing comfortably & fun for less than a grand per person accom, fights, tickets, food & drink.

Don't mess about with taxis or buses. And walking is a chore at 4am.

The dream ticket is to get a hotel on the tram stop e.g. Glories which is cheaper than Poblenou that weekend. Trams are 24hrs.

Plus the city is a building site as they are in the process of extending the tram which used to go no further west than Glories and have it run up along Diagonal and now past Sagrada Familia/Passeig de San Joan way to (I think) as far as Passeig de Gracia. Think it will be open (just about) in time for PS24.

I keep saying I'll get here every year. Still yet to.

If Glastonbury goes bottoms up, might finally make it work this time around.

[RedForman66]

Really hard to make predictions, because PS is always good for some surprises. Also it’s difficult to estimate correctly the size of a band inside the Line Up. 
 

A try:

Bad Bunny - FKA Twigs - Haim - Lana del Ray - Mitski - PJ Harvey - Pulp - SZA - The National - Travis Scott

 

Air - Bat for lashes - Belle&Sebastian - Bikini kill - DIIV - DJ Koze - Explosions in the sky - Floating points - Fontaines DC - Four tet - Future Islands - Idles - James Blake - Janes Addiction  - Jungle - Kali Uchis - Kurt Vile - Nelly Furtado - Peggy Gou - Romy - Skepta - Slowdive - The Smile - The Walkmen - Underworld 

 

[Quadrophobia]

Tuesday 10 O'clock it is. The Website now shows a countdown.

 

Incidentally, Northside (one week after PS) in relaunching their website and starting ticket sales a day prior, they will probably wait for the same act that PS is waiting for

Where did they confirm the hour? I saw them replying to an instagram comment yesterday saying it was still a secret

Or maybe they just messed up the countdown like they did last time because I’m on the UK timezone and it’s going to be 10am for me 😅

It shows 10 am for me too and I'm in the same timezone as BCN

Probably just programmed to count down to 10am using the respective browsers time signature

[diogozsz]

Yeah, they’re wrongfully using your local timezone for the countdown LOL. It’ll be 9am UK, 10am Spain.

Swear we get this rumour every year that it's going to be an 'old school' line up, in the end it's always the same, a mix of old and new with some acts for the nerds and some more mainstream acts.

And this worked perfectly for me in both post-covid Primaveras, so let's hope they don't change the formula too much.

That's a bit too early to drop the lineup no? As far as I remember it was always coming in the afternoon and the earliest is like like 12PM spanish time. But hopefully it comes at 10AM Spanish time, the earlier the better, don't want to be shocked during lunch

If the act that holds the announcement back, announces their tour at 10, it doesn't make sense for PS to wait
