I'm thinking of bringing my family to this next year, does anyone have any advice on where to stay, if there's tour operators doing packages or anything like that?

Anywhere near a yellow line metro stop is preferable. If you can find somewhere 30-45 mins walk from the site that is a 'doable' amount as it doesn't feel too far when you're walking with lots of people milling around.

 

I'd firmly disagree with the other poster- avoid Airbnb in Barcelona at all costs, far too unreliable and far too many horror stories about cancellations. You'll be looking at £200-300p/n for a hotel room depending on size and location.

 

It's not a package type festival, so you'll need to book yourself. Use Trivago and Skyscanner.

This year I stayed in a Airbnb near the festival and it was nice. No problems at all

I've heard too many horror stories from friends and people I've chatted to at the festival - late cancellations leaving people without accommodation, Airbnbs getting pulled etc - for it to not be something I'd be interested in nowadays, or ever recommend to others. YMMV of course, but particularly if you're taking a family I'd say it's just risky nowadays.

Late cancellations can definitely occur with Airbnb, but you can verify the listing with the city to ensure that it's at least a registered apartment and not some scam. Thus far I managed five editions this way with no issues, FWIW.

My guess for Wednesday Headliner is The Pixies. And I‘m hoping for a Wednesday Slowdive concert at Razzmatazz…

Love it. some of them (Knocked Loose, Rilo Kiley) are too specific to be guesses

The Weds headliner will be in the names already announced.

[pipan]

I absolutely love the lineup (as always), but also the poster (which I usually don't like) - nice clean design, very old school look and easy to read.

How long do we think The Cure will get then? 2.5 hours?

Yes, one of the drummers belongs to a very well-known band in Portugal called "Linda Martini"

Which, by the way, have also played PS Barcelona in 2012. Paus also played that year

I really hope not more than that, hopefully less. I love them but the lineup is too stacked to spent 3 hours on them

And lo, a clashfinder was born into the world...

This is really interesting

Just realized we got all three of them so there is the chance they'll perform it together.

Haha I couldn’t disagree more. The greatest band ever, give them four hours!

I can picture a kind of warehouse (the parking garage stage ) party/showcase with Fakemink, Ecco2k, Mechatok live, Ninajirachi, Oli XL live…  and maybe Malibu or even Iglooghost too, since Mechatok is throwing some parties this year called Natural Mind with friends and affiliates

Any chance the Wednesday is a significant name , or is it more likely to be one of the lower names ?

They can.

 

But what a weirdly specific thing it would be to make it up.

 

For what purpose?

Beach House were a recent one. 

 

Maybe Father John Misty or Mac de Marco might be of comparable size? I don't really know these days!

Airbnb restrictions got stricter in Barcelona over the summer, so a lot of them got removed. Also, some hosts didn't update the pricing on time and didn't milk everything they could during the Primavera week 😄

 

2026 should be back to normal. You'll see now that a lot of Airbnbs display their registration numbers on the listings now

No idea about intent, but it doesn't strike me as financially sound reasoning unless the 2026 edition actually manages to sell out. I would bet that last year's sold out edition brought in more total revenues than the 2023 and 2024 editions which may have had more alcohol sales but certainly had less ticket sales. Also worth considering that a sold out festival is better for attracting sponsorship.

Need to compare like with like. Lot of variables.

 

The headliners last year may have also cost much more.
