Radiohead in the earlier headline slot? Really? 

if this is true, i guess it's a clear sign of a big set

[yaniv297]

Radiohead will get the longest set of the day, regardless of when they play. Also, the earlier slots aren't usually longer. Maybe they just know Radiohead will attract a lot of crowd, so they want to release the pressure early...

I believe that 22.15 is too early for Radiohead. So, im just thinking that a 3-hour (than the usual 2-hour) set might be the reason- like The Cure in 2012, which they also performed at 22.10, if im not mistaken. Next week we will know

Probably Radiohead 22:15-00:20, followed by LSP on the other main stage 00:40-02:00.

That makes a bit more sense. 

Just hope there's proper darkness for Radiohead, assuming they have a typically brilliant stage setup.

Will be dark by 2215 for sure. Barcelona won't have as long summer daylight as we do.

"You will have news about whether they're playing or not soon"

[branvan]

Lush will play. still can't imagine primavera sound without them. they can play both primavera sound and this is not a love song festival as Beach House do. my two favourite bands…

[branvan]

 beyond my imagination..  Lush and after that Beach House in Mordor... De-luxe!!

At the risk of jinxing it, this is the only year I can remember without cancellations. Amazing not to have lost anyone big by now. And expecting Hidden Stage announcement today or Monday.

Thinking Beirut -> Beach House -> Radiohead -> LSP -> Animal Collective looks likely.

At what point will VIPs and normal tickets arrive too late for a good spot for Radiohead? 

[frankburns]

For Arcade Fire in 2014 and The Strokes in 2015 Non-VIP's had to arrive 60-90 minutes before the shows started to secure a very good spot.

 

[xxialac]

Well remembered! Thanks.

[neontiger8]

I think you can easily add 30 minutes or more to that for Radiohead. If I decide to get a good Radiohead-spot I'll probably catch a good spot at the act before and stay waiting. (That is of course only if it's an act I like or want to give a chance.)

How early for VIPs?

[xxialac]

VIPs can often turn up right at the last moment (even 5/10 minutes before) but clearly Radiohead might be a different proposition. 45 to 60 mins?

that sounds right to me - there will likely be a line to get in the VIP area.  Don't be afraid of it - it moves quickly.

Well I assume those 60.000 visitors are probably a pretty good point of pressure. Hopefully they'll come to an agreement before Primavera

[smwatson]

I'm anticipating a pretty high number of people parking themselves at the stage for most of the day to get a good spot for Radiohead. I'm seeing them in Amsterdam and London so won't be, but if I wasn't...

I'll just roll up 15-20 minutes before and be a fair way back. The sound quality at the main stages is generally really good for stages of that size. I was near the back for all the headliners in 2014 and didn't feel like it had much impact on my enjoyment. In fact, the space you get is much better and the screens make up for being miles away.

Having said that, if you prefer being at the front for non-VIP then I'd say you want to be getting there at least 90 minutes before...
