I can see a headliner slot taken by a big pop/mainstream act such as dua lipa but placebo and paramore do not make that much sense to me in a festival that still books unwound death grips and swans 

Swans put on the best show of the year for me. But the death grips canceled their performance in madrid without the slightest consideration for the fans.

[joselito]

And, two more cents... Brian Molko is  much more a rockstar than that kind of boy band called Maneskin.

[joselito]

The São Paulo Primavea booker participated in a radio conversation yesterday. Yes, there was talk about Sonic Youth coming back, however, that didn't happen...

Another cover was about his personal interest, and he talked about Talking Heads. However, nothing more than rumors, never a single word from the band...

Gabi Ruiz returned to the PS forum and probably no surprise there, but no Green Day ("no way"), Weezer ("nope") or Smashing Pumpkins ("nope"). However, he's ignored the question about Jungle.

Sorry, I don’t get what you mean. We are not talking about how respectful a band is to their fans. We are talking about which type of profile does a band need to be booked by this festival. It surely has to do with the hype press-coverage a band gets (see maneskin, which I a agree were a totally non predictable and disappointing booking, but were not booked to headline). However, these names we are mentioning (Pearl Jam, green ray, placebo) would have never fit in any of the past editions or they would fit but not in current PS as headliners (they would not waste a precious headlining slot for some legacy-assured but with basically zero novelty factor such as smashing pumpkins)

For now what are the possible headliners that we can get per musical style? 
Rap/Trap: Travis Scott? 

Pop: SZA? Lana del Rey?

Alternative/Rock: The Cure? Massive Attack? Pulp? PJ Harvey? The National? 

Spanish music: Bad Bunny? C. Tangana? Peso Pluma? Karol G? 
 

Electronic: no idea, maybe Jungle? 
 

Also is it too soon to have Dua Lipa back at the festival with the new album? 

[Andrej]

Wow, I totally forgot the fact that Maneskin played at Primavera !? Thats probably the weirdest booking in this festival history.

Justice look likely for that Electronic spot unless I've missed something that means they can't be there. They'd be my must see. Last time they were in town it blew my mind.

No chance of Chemical Brothers then if Justice are in?

Far from certain Justice are in and they could have both or neither.

Justice is just optimism atm, nothing to suggest they're touring in 2024 yet.

There's a lineup poster for some South American fest in 2024 a couple pages back in this thread with them playing.

They already confirm that they are going to do a big tour in 2024 with New album. And if they didnt confirm any other festival is because they are going to ps i think

That's fair. They could still be at sonar though as an exclusive instead of Primavera.

Much more likely if you ask me. Somehow Justice and Chemical Brothers never end up at PS (BCN), seems like the booking team isn't too fond of them.

 

Latitude just announced Duran Duran. I don't really feel they're PS material but could be something for Wednesday

I'm selfish when it comes to Chems coming from the UK but they play at the opening of an envelope over here, they're good the first time but find them so dull on repeat occasions.

I also think Justice might be bagged by Sonar, think they're more inclined to throw more money at a big electronic name given that's the focus of their festival. I can only imagine PS wanted Aphex this year and lost out to Sonar.

Had the same thought, but might genre wise be too close to last year

Then I read about Lauryn Hill playing here Miseducation album in full with The Roots as backing band plus a Fugees part incl all three.. but thats rather unlikely to happen, I guess

She's known for not showing up at her concerts or showing up late and not giving even half of the show. As much as I like her studio discography, I don't want someone like that at the festival and getting excited and then her not showing up.

Justice played in 2006 and 2012. their popularity hasnt increased though, but I can still imagine them being on the poster. even without solid new material, their shows are amazing
