And she was one of the few artists who played both weekends in 2022. On top she did a secret set this year, so it would be 6 sets in the last 5 editions if she comes next year. (She was also supposed to play the PC music event in Ciutat in 2022, but dropped out).
-
Yeah I could see 6th june happening, doing two stripped back festival sets back to back. Hope it's not the case though. Also the Madrid dates don't rule her out all, didn't she even play a Barcelona date in 2022?
-
Additionaly, I can totally see Phoebe Bridgers as a top line artist with a new album (she deleted all her instagram-posts) and Clairo right before her (or before Lorde as intended before her drop-out in 2022 if I remember correctly). Some others I'd love to see: Cassandra Jenkins Geese Fontaines D.C. Hotline TNT Big Thief/Adrianne Lenker Kim Gordon Bill Ryder-Jones Brittany Howard feeble little horse Sampha Cleo Sol and SAULT of course and a comeback of The Sundays lol

Lorde seems to be teasing something. At least fans are reading it that way, cause she rarely posts anything not album or tour-related. I do think she absolutely smashed her headline set in 2022, even tho Solar Power was not her best work, one of my favourite moments at Primavera. And if they can have The National, Charli and Phoenix back after two years, I don't see why not her with a three year gap, if she has a new album ready.

I chose Vampire Weekend too, but all of my friends went to L'Imperatrice and they loved it.
-
Vampire Weekend vs Duster vs Beth Gibbons vs Julie Byrne is the worst clash ever😭 And Lana vs Jessica Pratt vs Faye Webster is really bad for me aswell.
-
Hinds are playing Barcelona tomorrow and their european leg ends the day before Primavera. Not saying the wait is because of them. But they might be an easy to book last minute replacement act. They haven't played the festival since 2018 actually, as far as I can see, only Weekender in 2021.

Bill Ryder-Jones is supporting Beth Gibbons on her tour. Would love him to be added.

Exactly the same for me, just the opposite way with saturday being ridiculously stacked and thursday being a little thin for my taste.^^ Luckily Ciutat makes things a little easier for me with American Football, Crumb and Royel Otis playing on sunday aswell.
-
American Football announced four UK-dates as special LP1 anniversary shows (25 years). I guess we can expect the same for Primavera, at least for one of both sets, although it isn't billed as that.

Nothing too exciting in Ciutat for me. But American Football, Crumb, Royel Otis and Dorian Electra on sunday makes my saturday a lot easier. Was very worried about clashes, I think most people here think thursday is the strongest day, but for me personally saturday is really stacked with Charli, Mitski, FKA twigs, Amaarae, 070 Shake, Romy, Slow Pulp and the the ones mentioned above.

While I totally understand, that you would have been happy to see them on the line-up, three of them played last year and for B&S it would have been the fifth time at the festival, so I do kinda get if they didn't choose to book them to keep things fresh. Massive Attack is obviously a big miss, but yeah, things like that happen every time.

Because of the creepy power dynamics that he used for his benefit obviously. For example as a professor you are usually not allowed to have consensual relationships with students, even if you don't grade them. And especially not hitting them up via instagram, inviting them over and promising them things, that have something to do with your and their position, so completely misusing your power over them.

I mean, I stated in the post you are quoting what relevant output The Strokes had after Room on Fire, at least with The New Abnormal, the album they were booked for initially in 2020, and in the end 2022 because of Covid. And in my opinion very rightfully so, they gained lots of younger fans in recent years too. And I agree their live-sets are a bit hit or miss, but I think in general people here on the forum were rather positive about their performance. And while I really used to love Arcade Fire and their live-perfomances are great, no one around me cares about them anymore. Everything Now and We aren’t bad albums, but they weren't received very positive or to any sort of acclaim either. So no reason for a festival like Primavera to book them, aside all the other stuff that's going on. And especially no reason to go on talking about them for pages. So on another note, I'm a little surprised they didn't go for Doja Cat, since she's around and was on the poster for 2020, if I recall correctly. But maybe sth didn't work out or they thought with Lana and SZA there are enough big pop-ish acts in the top line. Also I reeeally hope they add Chastity Belt, Beach Fossils and Sampha to the line-up or for Ciutat-gigs, especially CB, since they are at BKS and they are free on the monday and tuesday I think, otherwise I'm very happy with the line-up.

I don't know what criteria you use for relevance, but I think people tend to oversee the acclaim and popularity The New Abnormal received, including Grammy win etc. The Adults are Talking alone has much more streams than all songs of WE combined and more than twice as many as any Arcade Fire song ever released. A lot of my friends, who are in their 20's started to listen to The Strokes around that time, because of that song. Obviously streams aren't everything, but I would also argue the critical reception of The New Abnormal was better than Everything Now and We, so I don't know on what your statement is based.
