Primavera Sound 2016

[DDave]

Roses announced for Marlay Park in Dublin on the 9th July. You'd imagine that they're nailed on for Beni the week after.

I don't think Primavera has much chance of getting them over Beni tbh. Gig was expected though.

[StephenF]

Have they ever waited this long to announce a headliner?

[ilbeyene]

I was wondering the same thing. Anybody knows?

[StephenF]

It would seem that this is the longest...closely followed by last year. Blur and NMH were announced after the headlining act of the festival (by a short video) the previous year. I think they might not have who they want confirmed yet..  which makes radiohead a big possibility.

[DanielM17]

Maybe they are just confident enough about the line-up selling well that they don't mind holding off. This is what I am hoping anyway.

[Gucci Piggy]

How close together are all the venues for this? Was looking at previous lineups with some mates last night and we might be interested (if not next year then definitely at some point).

[DanielM17]

Some pre and post festival gigs are scattered across parks and venues across the city. The actual parc del forum site is fantastic, the furthest stages from each other are probably a 10 minute walk, but it worth it to stop mixed sound. Only thing you need to prep for really is an all concrete arena that can be sore on the knees - do a lot of sitting after walking between stages!

Ah sweet, not really more than a normal festival then. Was expecting them to 've quite far apart spread across the city.

Nah nah, the proper festival is at parc del forum on the north east of the city, just on the coastline. Highly highly recommend going!

Tool touring in 2016. Definitely could see them at Primavera.

[jadel74]

Just saw Tool on Halloween. Great show--very cool/disturbing visuals.

[Gucci Piggy]

Was about to say if Tool are there I'll be looking at going next year. Then I looked at the dates and I'm still at uni when it(s on. Looks like I won't be going anytime soon, then.

Ween 2016

[jadel74]

Governor's Ball in NYC (same weekend as Primavera) is slowly releasing their lineup via crossword puzzle. So far, the clues indicate Father John Misty and Chvrches. Other acts that people are working out as they work on the puzzle include Phosphorescent, Sia (or MIA or M83...not sure yet), Beirut, Jamie XX, Fidlar, and ASAP Rocky.

Saw that. Might rule out some acts from Primavera as Prima is 1-4 June and Gov. Ball is 3-5. 

Also, very cool, fun way to announce acts.

[Bort]

Dang. Bummer about Father John Misty and CHVRCHES.

[Tilted]

Was convinced Father John Misty and Cvrches would play 

Hopefully Titus Andronicus return, really good in Nottingham tonight 

 

[DDave]

I asked Tim Burgess if the Charlatans would be playing and he said...'not sure'

 

Take that how you want but I read it to be a dead cert.

 

On the other hand, it might mean no.

[StephenF]

Drive like jehu are a maybe. This is good news (source close to the band).

*Edit....a maybe for at least Barcelona OR Porto. I'd be gutted if they only did Porto :(

Too soon for PS as well as Glastonbury I reckon. Could see them doing Latitude (though not sure where as they're bigger than recent subs and smaller than recent headliners) or possibly Sound City, which I'm sure would be good news for you.

Whatever happens I'm hoping for a proper tour as well. Much better when they have the chance to do over two hours of stuff like last tour.
