Your Headliners 2024

Friday - probably Faithless, though could be tempted to Jungle.

 

Saturday - Orbital will probably be the final live act. I would be up for Jessie Ware but I don't really like joining sets mid way through, so will probably take the opportunity to go to Stonebridge early for Optimo and Erol Alkan.

 

Sunday - Justice, although I seem to be in the minority in having only decent memories of 2017 so will try and get down to the front this time. 

 

All in, certainly the weakest year for headliners of the 6 I've been to.

 

Actually I take that back - 2014 was abysmal!

Friday: Charli XCX is a definite. Might try to catch part of Dua or Idles beforehand but will see how I feel. Have wanted to see Idles for ages and have seen Dua previously, but also feels like I should at least try to see one Pyramid headliner so dunno

 

Saturday: Peggy Gou

 

Sunday: London Grammar

Friday: Unsure if to do Idles or Fontaines, neither really excite me that much on record.

Saturday: Possibly Lambrini Girls at Strummerville. I might get swayed by Coldplay for the spectacle and the old songs but having to put up with anything post 2011 will be a struggle. 

Sunday: Andrew On'Neill's History of Heavy Metal

 

Slimmest of pickings for me this year.

Friday: Idles.

Though the terrible clash with Fontaines 😞

 

Saturday: Billy Nomates.

Really poor Saturday night choices for me on the main stages - Pyramid, Woodsies, Other, Park and West Holts all a write-off. There's about four I'd watch on Friday night. 

 

Sunday: The National. 

Though I've not liked much from them since Trouble WIll Find Me over 10 years ago, so not a great year for me and headliners.

Didn't notice Lambrini Girls as Gnomicide said but that overlaps with Billy Nomates and not sure I'll make it. WIll see them somewhere else anyway

Friday: Dua Lipa or Jamie xx depending on who wins the argument between the two of us.

 

Saturday: Coldplay 

 

Sunday: Had got tickets for The National at Eden Project to make up for probably missing them here but now there isn't really anything clashing with them - so who knows what I'll do.

I think there'll be a trample of people coming from Bob Vylan to the History of heavy metal thingo - its pretty much a straight run from leftfield to cabaret, with the only possible problem being the massive bloody crowd at west holts for Justice!

    • Absolutely second this. Were great at Big Weekend and already have a great catalogue of songs forming so far. Would love to see them on the farm!
    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
