By now i cant see anything exciting about them 

They are one of my favourite bands but I saw them live about a decade ago and I was bored to tears. I doubt they’ve improved.

I really hope Nick Cave is not on that poster.

I can appreciate this. I saw them in 1989 and it was one of the best gigs I've ever been to, but I saw them at Mad Cool, and whilst I enjoyed it, they just don't have the ferocity any more.

 

They used to play songs significantly faster than on record, mashed things up, stopped and reprised songs, and made just one holy wonderful mess. They were never the most enigmatic, or visually exciting, but they made up for it with the music. Now they just don't seem to have that energy.

It just feels like a hollow money making exercise which is such a shame considering how influential and cutting edge they are.

I really hope he is.

 

Still the performer I’ve ever seen.

Blondie as the 'classics oldie' band?

[festivalguy97]

There is a leak that some of the artists that will be on PS poster on Thursday are: The Cure, Gorillaz, Nick Cave, Gracie Abrams, Clipse, Car Seat Headrest, Joni Mitchell, Rosalia, Lola Young, EYE, Titanic. 

 

Take it with a grain of salt tho 

 

P.S: Forgot about Portishead being also on the lineup.

That’s like 7 headliners in 3 days. I take it with a mountain of salt.

In 2022 they had 5 headliners on 1 day.

I think it is coming from Primavera Discord and the person that leaked it, got the line up announcement date right. I would also take it with a big bag of salt.

That's also a lineup that would be easily conceivable for Primavera. Big money bagging The Cure there.

Yes. So means they have a history of doing it. In 2024 they had 9 headliners. At least try to do the bare minimum of research.

Yeah, it make be fake ofc, but it's a "leak" and a "rumour" for a reason, and it's the closest thing we have till Thursday. I do believe that majority of those names are locked in.

saw this on X. What are the odds of something like this?

Possible for many names, but for example Tyler might not come

Gorillaz again? Nick Cave again? Clipse again? Rosalia again? 
 

I doubt theyd be that repetetive in terms of headline acts

 

also way too weak on the pop side

Who else would you put on the pop side? All the big pops stars like Doja and Ariana are doing stadiums now. Same with big hip hop artists unless they get Tyler and Gambino and Rocky

Yeah that is why I said to take it with a big grain of salt. She is touring tho, but mostly in US.

finally as per tradition a rumor about Portishead, now I'm more relaxed and can wait for the lineup peacefully

Sure. A leak is for something real. This is a rumour and definitely a false one.

[homesick]

Any idea what time the announcement will be on Thursday please?
