Primavera Sound 2016

[DDave]

Looks like the Wilco thing is actually for Vida Festival. They're announcing a headliner tomorrow, and their site features a logo in the same style as the Wilco thing in Barcelona: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CRNTVrPWsAAOzQj.jpg

Vida Festival announced the Divine Comedy as the first band today.

Looks like there could be something forthcoming from Husker Du. Would think them a certainty for Primavera if they reunited.

[DanielM17]

Radiohead have reportedly finished their new album and are planning a 2016 tour.

Vida Festival announced the Divine Comedy as the first band today.

Followed by Wilco headlining. So that rules them out for Primavera I guess?

Yep. Doesn't bother me, personally.

[AdamWillingham]

Hoping for a few of these...

• Foals
• Julia Holter
• Youth Lagoon
• Sufjan Stevens (in the Auditoria would be incredible)
• Kurt Vile
• FKA Twigs
• Clarence Clarity
• Beck

Definitely, the rumours seem to be picking up pace. 

[DDave]

New Miike Snow track and album out soon. No news on tour but fingers crossed they're at PS.

How about this as an edited version of the earlier posted lineup?

[FloorFiller]

not the greatest set of headliners for me (although Frank Ocean being one of them is more than enough for me) but that would be a fantastic lineup - probably too much so. clashes would be maddening

[DanielM17]

Yeah, I'd be very very happy with it, even though there is no big headliner that borders on "huge" or "mainstream".

[Nesser]

Black Sabbath

A bunch of medium acts (Tame Impala, Beach House, Deerhunter. Consider LCD Soundsystem as the bigger act of this day if they're reuniting)

Massive/mainstream headliner

Not a leak, not an inside source but you can be sure this is 80% accurate. Just a little research after knowing (for several years) how they book and work with several bands.

It'd be nice if Sabbath were to headline but, sadly, I think they're more or less set for Rock am Ring/Rock im Park the same weekend as Primavera and aren't doing back to back dates on their upcoming tour.

I think so far Sabbath haven't confirmed any dates for Spain or Portugal and only one date for Germany. I reckon they might be playing Rock in Rio Lisbon. Primavera looks like only possible festival in Spain for them, but as u said RaR looks like better option for them.

[Nesser]

Sabbath are playing a German arena on June 8th. In fact they announced the European leg just a few weeks ago so I think it's pretty clear that they're not playing any German festival, especially the same fucking month lol.

Primavera staff love to mess around with different genres when conforming the line up. It's usual to see Pitchfork-approved-heavy bands like Deafheaven or Earthless. Besides, they booked Nine Inch Nails (with Kendrick Lamar playing just before them) the same year they booked Arcade Fire so I reckon Sabbath fit perfectly. Their actual tour dates and that gap between Hungary and Germany seems like a confirmation for me.

[FloorFiller]

would be surprised to see Sabbath booked myself, but stranger things have happened

I've no problem with the suggestion, I even suggested it on the first page.

But that show is actually what pretty much confirms that they'll do a German festival show before that. Germany is the country with the biggest hard rock/metal following in the world and I don't think Black Sabbath's farewell there would be relegated to just one 20k capacity arena show when there are plenty of German festivals in the middle of their tour. Particularly to pass it up to do a Spanish show when they've not bothered playing Spain for nearly twenty years.

anyone seen Rock Am Ring facebook's profile update today? looks like Sabbath will be there

Except Rock Am Ring posted a video today hinting at Black Sabbath in the first batch of names. 

[DDave]

Good to see some announcements from other festivals around the same time as PS coming through. I'd love the Hives and Digitalism from hurricane/Southside.  Two Door Cinema club seem a likely act for PS too.

foals and tame impala arent really headliners. Need to be a couple big ones like LCD Soundsystem. 

Chvrches will probably be back. If Chromatics play, expect Glass Candy, too. 

[DanielM17]

I think Foals and Tame Impala aren't far off the likes of alt-j in terms of headlining.

[DDave]

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that the Stone Roses will headline PS & Glastonbury and play Old Trafford Cricket Club all in the same month next year.

[Dietediet]

Jamie XX confirmed in an interview that his solo venture is over soon and that next year is about the new The XX album. Another headliner candidate then.
