I think they're all electronic?

Kamasi Washington will be in the Auditori for sure, although he's not as big as any of those.

I reckon John Carpenter would be on the ATP stage at about 3am, that would be crazy.

You left out an S. "Since I left yous"

I think Brian Wilson will be at ATP Stage like Einsturzende Neubauten last year.

wow, that would be something...

 

anyway, might be a bit of blasphemy but does it make sense I'm worried about Radiohead? We're acting like they're still the band from 2001...

King of Limbs was a major disappointment for most people, including me. We have no idea how good their new album will be. They're notoriously not crowd-pleasers - look at that Coachella set... reads like King of Limbs+random deep cuts, with Paranoid Android and Karma Police randomly thrown in. That's for the biggest mainstream festival in America. Also, some of Thom's recent vocal performances were awful. 

A lot depends on how strong their new album will be. Nobody's expecting a 'greatest hits' set, but I'll be really happy with a strong LP9 and In Rainbows selections, the Kid A classics like Everything... and Idioteque, and assorted highlights from the rest of their careers. With as little TKOL as possible (they can keep Lotus Flower maybe).

I dunno, I'm afraid LP9 will be disappointing, TKOL songs will stay in, and we'll get a really mediocre set from who used to be the greatest band in the world.

Does anyone know if you can get a VIP upgrade to your ticket at the festival? I bought a normal one for 150 euros fairly early on, just wondering if you can or not

I don't follow. What do you mean?

Surely Brian Wilson will do the pre-headliners spot at the main stage, like Patti Smith did? He's a lot bigger than Einsturzende Neubauten.

Actually I saw Thom Yorke with Atoms For Peace in 2013 at Rock In Roma and his vocals were brilliant.

I thought he only liked to play indoors, no?

Maybe, I'm not aware. If it's his preference than yeah, but otherwise it makes more sense to have him play the main stage.

Actually, scrap that, most of his gigs are indoors but not all. Personally would still *much* prefer him at the Auditori.

They're just not really consistent. I heard some good recordings and I heard ones that were painful to hear.

Unless I'm missing someone, surely he'll be the biggest name to ever play the Auditori?

With ticket numbers to the Auditori limited, I'm afraid there won't be enough for everyone.

Genuinely that's the first time I've ever heard someone suggest that Thom Yorke isn't a good singer!

I think you're right that he will play outside but the Auditori has definitely hosted names as big as Brian Wilson over its 20 year history.

That'd be ace, Avalanches playing the album in full.

Well, I'm sure I'm not the first one. I read lots of criticism for his live vocals in Radiohead message boards, some as early as 2008.

Just listen to any version of Idioteque from the 2013 tour, compare it to say the Canal 2000 performance. It's pretty much undeniable his vocal delivery has declined... not to mention Paranoid Android. Like that one, even half of the youtube comments are discussing his vocals (also it's mostly seems to be him not giving a damn, other than being unable to sing better).
