Flying out on the Wednesday. Flying back with the same airline (Vueling). I need to investigate more, once my annoyance has subsided. Thanks for the suggestions, I wanted direction to Barcelona but 100% look into them. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibo Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 I agree 100% primavera has the best line up this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnarler Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 Yeah wow that Glastonbury lineup makes me even more excited about Primavera. When every other festival is clearly struggling to find exclusive moments to make their festival unmissable, Primavera has secured the best set of names. Jai Paul, Troye Sivan, Pulp, Vampire Weekend, Lana all missing from the Glastonbury lineup and funnily enough the names that make the Primavera poster really pop to me. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Line up is so ZZZ, even Green Man this year puts this to shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohjesus Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 apologies if this has been covered earlier on here, but a friend got a free upgrade to VIP last week - via an email out of the blue, for being a "longstanding customer" - check your spam folders, apparently. He's been going 20 years. sadly, i alternate buying tickets with my mates each year so missed out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headliners are flat (IMO) . But even those acts that I think are decent (say Idles or Jamie xx or Lankum) are either at PS or played it very recently.

xxialac Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 Quite impressive how Barcelona got its full poster with day splits out back in November. Bilbao which is just a month later has still only provided a third of their names. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobhoward Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 Nick Cave and the bad seeds are touring EU this fall with a BCN date. Wonder if that basically rules them out for 2025. Bummer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxialac Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 As much as I like PJ Harvey, I just can’t see this particular latest album translating well to Mordor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame there's not a festival before Primavera which will give us an idea on the way the setlist is gonna pan out. I'm hoping it's more of a mix for the outdoor gigs.

I don't really think she's suited to a huge stage in general but I agree - definitely not with the last album. Since there are 5 top line names on Sunday, I'd like to see her play a smaller stage like Cupra but probably no chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if last year was st vincent (at 20 pm), polachek, calvin harris, rosalia (closing at 3 am) maybe one of those 5 (mitski or pj harvey) could actually be bumped to amazon stage top name clashing with sza. The first of those names to play could be mitski and I can't see her playing at 19. It's too early for the quite big crowd she will draw. Sza vs mitski/pj harvey would be a nice addition to the series of horrible clashes we have been subjected these last years. If they did nick cave vs bauhaus they are able to do anything Edited March 17 by Whos3000_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whos3000_ Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 (edited) Sorry for the off topic: which other european festivals (in Germany and central Europe, preferentially) happening in May/June have some crossover with Primavera Sound when it comes to acts/taste/vibe? I happen to be in southern Germany from april to july and I would like to catch acts that are not at primavera/that I won't see at primavera. I already know southside festival Edited March 17 by Whos3000_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though based on the past she will probably play 80% of the new album and then half a dozen others, leaning towards stuff from more recent albums.

allribena Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 I don't know PJ Harvey well and I don't know where to start with her music - from what I've heard I see what you mean about she might not suit main stage, though Glasto have her on mainstage so I guess her festival set will be more of a mix?

She'll likely play the same set at both and likely neither will be a mix, both will be overwhelmingly her new album. Some would call it not compromising her artistic principles to please an audience. People do expect to hear 'greatest hits' at a festival (or at least more upbeat numbers) and likely will be a lot of chatter during her set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like Stories from the City, Rid of Me and Dry - would start with those but she has a very consistent catalog. No real duds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
