350 euros plus fees is not gonna do many tickets for this lineup and there is no way it sells out. With the revolut discount its still 359 euros after fees or circa £314

 

locals priced out

accomodation stupid prices

only reasonable uk flights left are from london

 

Cuitat is going to need to be incredible to move the needle

 

the cure day tickets likely sell out when released, i’ll grant that

 

at least getting on a tram will be easy!

 

 

The Cure have announced quite a few new shows and festivals the last few days. I expect more to come also .

 

Could impact the demand if it’s easier and cheaper to see them elsewhere.

Anyone who claims to know how ticket sales have gone is talking out their backside!

 

There have been many events recently where logic suggest they would sell slowly and yet, tickets have flown out the door.
We will get to find out how sales are going in time.

The only thing I noted so far was there was virtually no queue for the fan sale , and they were still available late into the day . No idea if this indicates anything 🤷‍♂️

Lola Young was supposed to play Milan on May 29th and the venue's website lists that show as cancelled. Doubt she's appearing at PS a week later.

If that's the case, I agree, she is most likely out. Hope she gets better soon and will come next year. I saw her this summer, and it was really fun.

[coupforgrace]

Worth noting that this year's lineup has already gotten way more likes on Instagram than last year's, even with that one being supposedly more influencer and social media friendly.

[xxialac]

With Milan cancelled and I assume the rest to follow soon, then Primavera will have no choice but to remove LY from the day split poster that is presumably coming in a few weeks.

just randomly checked the websites of the German venues she was supposed to play (Cologne, Berlin, Munich) - those shows are listed as "cancelled" as well. really curious to see, whether PS will still list her on the line up with the day splits, considering all of her forthcoming dates seem to be scrapped.

They could sidestep it with a small name but if it's this obvious then they can't for someone who is high up the poster. 

She won't be on the day splits.

Capaldi took a two year break from playing live shows though, not eight months.

Mendes also took a couple of years.

Went to see The Beta Band in Nottingham, hope they get added in some form

[Fnmentaluk]

I think I'm right in saying that the Porto lineup should be next week 

[pipan]

2026 artists already on the website and in the app. Lola Young still present, but with no bio or picture. She's not the only one with missing details but she's definitely the biggest name on the poster without a picture.

Tori Amos has a tour ending on May 30 with no Spanish dates. Could be a replacement act...

[homesick]

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds tour starts on 10th June and there are no Spanish dates. Would be strange to add them to the Primavera line-up late though. Maybe they're at Mad Cool

Would be a great addition, but it really doesn't cater to the same audience Lola Young caters to. 

 

I think that Primavera has enought time to shuffle the cards the way they want to (i.e. suppose that Wet Leg were expected to play headiner at Cupra/Amazon; promote them to early Mordor and find a zoomer-friendly lo-fi bedroom pop name to play in a headliner spot on Cupra/Amazon).

That said, it would be odd if they changed Lola Young for a name that targets a different segment: you would have a lot of criticism from the fans that already bought the tickets.

Totally understand what you are saying. Just want to point out that imo Wet Leg - after playing Cupra to an audience bursting all over the place this year - definitely have to play Mordor next year, no matter if Lola Young is there or not.

I meant at a later date.

 

Personally I think it would be acceptable to say that LY has dropped out when they announce day splits this month and that they are working on replacements. Then add them later...and by then everyone has forgotten about LY and they don't have to be like-for-like.

 

Also think Saint Etienne could be added later too who have a new final record out.

Either Mordor or Amazon Music for sure. Sadly the same probably applies to Little Simz.

[FKA SOSOTWS]

I could see Little Simz and Wet Leg playing Amazon Music Stage at like 3am, after Mordor closes. That's become a pretty prestigious timeslot in prior years, with Charli and Turnstile playing it.

Funnily enough the only time Tori Amos played Primavera, she was a replacement for Eels, which aren't very similar either.

Well technically, there were Spanish dates: Barcelona & Madrid in 2024, so could be just that.

Yeah really loving that new album.  With them & Knocked Loose on the bill it's one hell of a double act
