Guys do not be so pessimistic. 
First of all, we all know 21 pilots and Florence are headliners, so we got 2 out of 5 days. Sombr can be a headliner, however i think he can only be a headliner if it is a 2 headliners in one day thing. I think we will get Lorde with him on the same day. 
Lewis Capaldi is absolutely not a headliner material, and that is facts.

I do not think Dom Dolla would be the EDM headliner. He is not that huge like Garrix or Anyma etc.. I think he will be in a similar spot as Armin Van Buuren this year.

In my opinion, we only got 2 headliners. Maybe Sombr is the 3rd one, if they can not find another artist with similar popularity on the same day.

Why is Lewis not a headliner?

Sombr is more likely than not a headliner , based on what Leaks previously said.

 

Capaldi is headlining festivals all over next year (including BST) so is equally a headliner.

 

Sure, it’s possible that a couple of the days might have a co-headliner, but given the current financial situation of the festival and the fact it almost didn’t happen, I would say this line up is on par with what I would have expected.

 

There is no crossover for Lorde’s festival run with the previous festival tour (2023), so I think Sziget would be an unlikely booking based on that alone.

in the same format, 21P + Florence + sombr (closing main stage) with Lewis co-headlining and a DJ / someone less melancholic closing main

 

make sense imo

Ecatly, for a first announcemnet it looks quite promising for me. For me it is obvious we can expect 2 more headliners at least (one could be Lorde).

Not a bad start, the only downsides for me are no Turnstile (yet?) and that there're only two headliners left (if we're lucky, but I think they mark Lewis and Sombr as two co-heads). Not so interested in already announced headliners TBH, but still they are quality acts (and my wife wants to attend Twenty One Pilots show, so I can be biased).

The names down the bill are way more interesting. Biffy Clyro, Tash Sultana, Underworld (that one really was a surprise, already can feel those vibes at A38)... Among the smaller ones can recommend Bad Nerves (fast-paced punk rock), De'Wayne (MGK-like pop-punk), Antony Szmierek (spoken word electronic), Kim Dracula (avant-garde metal, reminds me of Faith No More in some ways), Karen Dió (alternative metalcore), Giant Rooks (alternative rock), Zimmer90 (something like Balu Brigada this year), Lambrini Girls (radical left, but still energertic punk rock).

I think it's way better than the first announcement for 2025.

There are some great acts in the undercard but I don't think it will convince many people to buy tickets or book flights and hotels. And apart from 21P (and maybe Florence), I don't see any big names that would appeal to Hungarians either. Hopefully, they have the funding from the new investors sorted...

No competittors for hungarians, the number of hungarian visitors is pretty steady so i wouldnt worry about that

Oskar MedK is the only one that has got me excited, been listening to his stuff for a while,

but he’s a small artist 
 

the Underworld boiler room was decent, but those boys are pushing 70 now and will be interesting to see if they still have that 90s energy. ( I know I don’t)
 

I hope they announce more names than was on the video tomorrow as I think it’s a very weak lineup for the first phase 

 

I may be wrong but Biffy were big 15 years ago and haven’t really done much since so apart from only revolutions I couldn’t name another album or song

    • I have no issue with the Primavera crowd in most respects. They’re always friendly, respectful and no hint that there could be trouble at any point.   However…the talking is horrific here. The xx was pretty much ruined for me due to people having conversations with their mates the whole way through. Noticed it from all different nationalities across the weekend…English, Irish, Spanish etc. There seems to be no understanding of the nuances of when it’s okay to talk and when it isn’t. And obviously the sound being quiet at a lot of spots on the main stages exacerbates the issue. That alone has made me reconsider whether I will be coming back, it would probably take a lineup as good as this year (unlikely)

    • I found the vibe a little different to recent editions.. definitely an older crowd, less queer, less Spanish.. certainly has something to do with the lack of Glastonbury this year. And I felt Saturday was a little overcrowded. I‘ve never seen Mordor as full as last night for the xx and Gorillaz. Did not enjoy that too much.
    • Not my favourite year either, despite liking the lineup more than previous years. Not sure what it was, I guess Thursday really put the brakes on things. But yeah I'll be back next year hopefully. And maybe Massive Attack will return... 
    • E-mail summarizing Saturday - Primavera Sound 2026 Journal Day 3. As in previous days, it's going to be on the website soon, I think.
