You can say people don't care about it but in 2022 it was ABSOLUTELY RAMMED.

I was there, it was because of the double weekend imo. Last year a friend or mine could get in for unwound, gilla and Yves without any problem. In 2022 it would have been a 3 h cue

Did anyone go to Julia holter last year? I wanted to but I eventually chose sparks. Weird timing for booking her, given she will be dropping a new record this year

I agree but you don't have 3 hour queues without some interest in the Ciutat concept.

Julia Holter was alright last year - she's is a bit of a subdued performer these days for my tastes.

The first American lineup to do something right, exciting to see Joanna Newsom and Courtney Barnett back

That's one of the best I have seen this year.

Twice. I love her very much. 🙂

Amazing lineup, both in terms of headliners and smaller names, everything is very well curated. And I checked the price and it's the same price as Primavera, so it's a very good lineup for the price. Only problem that I would have is that the biggest artists are all very indie and guitar music, I think that Primavera has a bit more variety for my taste, but overall, this and Primavera are the best lineups of the year so far.

Sunny Day Real Estate? Or Real Estate even?

This is the best one-dayer I've seen so far.

bit of a off-topic but I just feel like I want to get in the mood. 

favourite 5 moments from these last years of the "new"/bigger primavera, anyone (let's say 2018/2019-now)? Something that stood the test of time for you.

I'll start: 
- Pavement 2022, after waiting for 3 years

- Nick Cave 2018 (maybe the loverman bit)

- Unwound 2023, because it was amazing from start to finish

- Rosalia 2023 maybe? Definitely felt like a victory lap as well as a set she cared about

- Low 2022, sunset set: we know why

I was tempted enough to check flight prices.

Then I wasn't so tempted 🙂

Not easy to pick 5 but here we go. 

• Tyler the Creator W1 2022 - Amazing 1 man performance and great setlist from start to finish.
• Idles 2022 - They seemed to really enjoy performing, gave so much energy and the crowd was brilliant.
• Nas 2019 - Maybe I can pick some better PS performances but seeing my favourite childhood rapper at a stage as small (relative to his stature) as the RayBan was special for me. 
• New Order 2023 - In their old age I didn’t expect much and it blew me away. Favourite set of 2023.
• The Smile 2022 - Goosebumps. Sound was incredible and my first time seeing Thom and Johnny perform.

On the non-headliner (Mordor) side:

- Hannah Diamond W1 2022

- Rigoberta Bandini W2 2022

- Darkside Ciudad 2023

- Ascendant Vierge 2023

- Self Esteem 2023

 

Aside from Darkside, these are names I wasn't very familiar with, but end up having an amazing time. I love Primavera so much for this.

It's even pricy to take a flight to Utah even if you are in the USA during that week. Domestic flights in USA are very expensive. You can still see all of the headliners and most of the undercard in Europe if you go to Primavera and MEO Kalorama.

Atarashii Gakko could be similar. Think is their first ever gig in Europe.
