So any hopes for the remaining acts? 

My wishlist include Nine Inch Nails, Last Dinner Party, Neil Young and Muse (not totally realistic I know).

i think Muse are out

I still don't close the doors to Neil Young (From all the names that may still come, i still believe it is the only one that will sell out the festival)

The Last Dinner Party, maybe

I think you’d be surprised how few acts are left to announce.  With them dropping a day I think there’s a lot less than people expect

Yeah Muse might be out. But TLDP are the biggest chance I think. They're subbing Olivia Rodrigo on other festivals this summer and are in France right before MC.

But Young would please me the most I think.

It would be very on-brand for Mad Cool to have leaked yet another tour before it was ready to be announced hahah!

 

(Although I suppose they can be forgiven as it was meant to come out last week and this could be an ad which was not nipped in the bud in time)

What was it, The Strokes last time?

I still think Muse would've been announced in their first wave if they had them.

 

Makes me wonder what else they're doing, mind. Five dates, 3 of which are in Scandinavia, is quite a skinny tour given they were allegedly meant to have hoovered up a few spots vacated by Foo Fighters after they opted not to tour in 2025.

True, Muse should be a band that MC were likely to announce first. But it also feels weird to just tour Scandinavia and 2 other countries.

Is it not a poor translation? I’m sure that they said to someone in the first announcement that they might be “at a future Mad Cool as it didn’t work this time” or something to that effect

Are we expecting only NIN tomorrow or a group of names?

The way it says “announcement” makes me think it’s just NIN but it would be nice if they do day splits too

    • 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
