I just hope this is not the only reason for they're new formed LLP, and that we'll still get album or tour

New LLP for new LP.

If Radiohead does play Primavera 2026, I hope we get an early standalone announcement prior to the lineup dropping, just like what happened with Depeche Mode's announcement in 2022.

This would be great, but I could see it after the tour dates are announced, if the first dates start in early November, Primavera could get their line up out again by end of October and be one of the first announcements for Radiohead next year. Which might boost their sales if inevitably all the November dates are sold out.

She's too big for primavera as one of her first Barcelona shows back no? I know she did 2023 but that was after she had already played big gigs in Barcelona in 2022. I think if she would return it'd be like 2027?

apparently her new album isn’t done yet - so I could see her doing a Charli and playing Prima before she releases her new album, or maybe she could do a Dua Lipa - where she played Barcelona a couple of weeks before at the arena and then did Prima.

either way she is a huge name in Barcelona and Spain, I think she'll be playing bigger places than Primavera

Yeah - seems plausible?

Cindy Lee doing a short USA tour this fall... seems like another act PS would want to book (exclusively).

Her new album is out in November leaked by Elle Spain (now they are correcting the article omitting that info, though)

Look who is organising this

Dijon Tour Dates 

 

 

I think strong contender for Primavera, totally the vibe.

Nick Cave confirmed the Bad Seeds are doing a date in Brighton next year - maybe an outdoor tour is coming…

Great, and I'm still waiting for Soul Coughing who liked those who asked if they're coming to Europe 🤞🏻

Sorry to bring this up again, but people are openly discussing the possibility of Nick Cave and Radiohead being booked for this edition. I am finding it very hard to envisage either of these bookings. Cave’s stance on Israel/Palestine and Radiohead’s (at best) lack of a stance are the complete opposite of where Primavera seems to be positioning itself, (see Kneecap, Fontaines, Ethel Cain and many others). I know that as an individual you could simply choose not to see artists that you disagree with, but that gets a bit muddied in a festival environment and especially with a festival that likes to give the impression of making a statement. I hope this post does not cause polarised grandstanding, even mentioning a music festival in the same breath as what is happening in Gaza feels totally wrong, but I can’t help thinking that Primavera organisers would also want to avoid adding names to the line up that would make these arguments flare up.
