Primavera Sound 2016

[StephenF]

Maybe an Easter Egg has appeared somewhere in BCN? Not getting my hopes up.

[DDave]

Cure definitely ruled out now.

That RSD account has also tweeted saying that the Stone Roses are also headlining! Tweeted it about half an hour ago

Radiohead and the Roses would be amazing. Throw in a bit of New Order, Leftfield and Beck and you're talking one of the best line ups of the summer. All plausible as well.

[StephenF]

The RSD account could have no more real knowledge about the headliners as we do  I couldn't see two British headliners....has that happened before?

Pulp and PJ Harvey 

[DDave]

I asked them how sure they were and they replied..

In spanish "huele" is similar than "rumour"

 

Edit. Their original tweet was

 

Hoy martes diremos que huele a The Stone Roses en el Primavera Sound Festival 2016.

I still don't see Radiohead as plausible for any festival this summer. Although they do like to drop their records surprisingly so you never know.

[StephenF]

Im thinking the same about Stone Roses. FIB Will throw the cash money wad to secure them. Radiohead would be phenomenal, if a tad optimistic, it's a shame they would be on the Heineken or Primavera stage.....the rayban amphitheatre stage would be magical.

New Order and Foals announced for Roskilde amongst others in late June. I'd like to think we'll get both.

New Order, Foals and Beck are the most likely names so far I'd say, which suits me fine.

[StephenF]

Beck is almost a certainty and I would expect Foals to play.....but I wouldn't see them as a headliner? Maybe these days they are. Flaming lips can come back if they want.....sans Hannah Montana.

're: foals, I suppose it depends on how high the organisers are aiming. They'll headline Reading/Leeds and they'll be very high up the bill at Glastonbury.

Certainly more worthy of a headline spot than Ride were and they could pull it off with ease imo.

They won't be at Glastonbury if they're headlining R&L.

It doesn't matter which slots the band gets in the UK. Same with Biffy Clyro or Kasabian.

Sorry, yeah you're right.

[StephenF]

Day one of 2014 had three headliners that could reasonably have been the marquee acts for a night each :/ last year's undercard was excellent though.

It's different styles and countries. Foals fits at Reading but I just don't see them as Primavera headliners. They don't have the right style, critical acclaim, 'quality' status or whatever.

Ride, however, are the other way round. Probably wouldn't work at Reading but they're great headliners for Primavera. They're a legendary, influential band and we know PS loves shoegaze. This festival is different than most others.

Despite being fourth line down, they still played a pretty major slot and it's not unreasonable to think they'll move into a headline slot now. Think they would at least be subs but all the more likely they'll just end up at BBK or Benicassim or whatever else there is.

[AldoTVAOF]

Are there day tickets for Primavera? Booked up to go to Barcelona at time of the festival and if the line-up as a whole isn't worthy of a weekend ticket but Stone Roses headline one of the nights I'd definitely wanna head down for the day without splashing out on the weekend ticket.

[DanielM17]

Yeah they definitely do do day tickets. Think they get released sometime after the full lineup comes out in January.

[StephenF]

I would just get the weekend ticket, the day tickets are extortionate.

[Nesser]

Day tickets go on sale for ~65€ for a few weeks and then they go up to 90 I think. I wouldn't recommend buying day tickets unless you didn't buy a weekend ticket early in the year and you are absolutetly sure about going only one day. Otherwise spend some time looking for a weekend ticket at a reasonable price.

[Tilted]

Bonus of the weekend ticket is you'll also have access to the pre/post festival gigs.
