xxialac Posted December 17, 2023 Report Share Posted December 17, 2023 9 hours ago, Ildavo said: But booking Maneskin and Calvin Harris is good curation?... not that I have an issue with them being booked as there is plenty of other acts to see. Primavera should have no limits and surprise us. Booking The National every other year is worse (in my opinion) than booking Liam Gallagher or Coldplay once ever. Yeah, I think Maneskin and Calvin Harris should have been to use your words "off limits" and was a rare example of poor curation and indeed which drew a lot of criticism on here. And as of next year (2024) The National will have played 5 times since 2010 which I agree is too much but only just (would have preferred 3 or 4 times). And of course it's easy to forget on here given our obvious high interest in this event, but a high percentage of attendees will be attending the festival for the first time so for them it's not relevant who has played previously. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UsernameHere Posted December 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2023 (edited) I think it's great that this festival generally tries to books acts based on quality rather than popularity. Plenty of festivals just book the biggest names they can get every year so it would be sh*t if every big festival did the same. Primavera definitely has a more curated lineup than most similar sized festivals, as xxilliac said. I agree it can get snobby on here but remember this group is a small minority who are a lot more obsessive than your average attendee. I also agree that The National is a tired booking at this point but if it means we're moving away from Calvin Harris/Maneskin and back to what seem to be the core principles of the festival I'm OK with it.

Whos3000_ Posted December 17, 2023 Report Share Posted December 17, 2023 (edited) It only took 1 month to me to go from being annoyed by the national to being annoyed by who they will clash with since I want to see them for the 4th time 😂 Edited December 17, 2023 by Whos3000_ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drums Please Fab Posted December 17, 2023 Report Share Posted December 17, 2023 (edited) In defence of the National....they have been booked a fair amount yes, but they have released 5 albums since 2010.

BA_Barrabus Posted December 18, 2023 Report Share Posted December 18, 2023 Little festive discussion... Dear Santa, For Christmas this year I'd like <what at Primavera next summer?> Love, The efestivals PS 2024 crew. I'll go with Sofia Kourtesis playing whilst the sun goes down on the Thursday evening and not clashing with anything monumental Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emmanuel Posted December 19, 2023 Report Share Posted December 19, 2023 A few bands missed by Primavera this year, probably because they are already played in the last few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schoolyb Posted December 19, 2023 Report Share Posted December 19, 2023 Booked for 2024 and pretty content with the line up (I missed 2022 so less bothered about some of the repeat bookings). Anyone still need to buy their weekend ticket? I did Madrid this year and I've got one spare 30% discount code (for the cancelled day) as one of my mates who came isn't doing Barcelona 2024. It's valid for one ticket via Dice and only until 31st December but works out over an 80 euro saving. If so, shout and I'll message the code privately.

So no Razmatazz gigs for the city gigs on Tuesday?

Only few concerts at Apollo on Monday, Tuesday and Sunday and that's it? But why would they wait for so long to announce 15 gigs? I don't mind waiting for the ciutat names til january but I really hope the ciutat part of the festival won't go back to 2019 sizewise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm starting to wonder if it has been scaled back if the Razmatazz is seemingly booking other gigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
