Primavera Sound 2017

Just got told by someone at Pro that Local Natives are doing a secret show tomorrow. He didn't know where.

So hot and sunny...

In a merchandising stand there was a limited edition 12" vinyl with the new Arcade Fire single, 'Everything Now'.

Yep they confirmed this at the end of their set. Didn't hear if they said where or when though. Thought they were ace last night.

Is that today's only "unexpected" thing then? Bit disappointing.

[StephenF]

Got the new app.....the unexpected bit has been removed..... Expected *also i am rough as fuck today. Winner!!!

[xxialac]

Pinegrove were amazing. Cymbals Eat Guitars were also excellent. Great start.

Pissed off I've missed Cymbals Eat Guitars. Went for a huge lunch and had to retreat back to the flat to shit liquid for an hour.

[Orens]

Gizz were perfect!

Arcade Fire did play a 360 surprise set, I loved the concept.

[Olivedal 1904]

The dance fest at the end of Triangulo de Amor Bizarro's set with their loud melodic shoegazey tunes was great. 

Broken Social Scene, Gojira and Afghan Whigs were other favourites. New songs from Afghan Whigs sounded great. Catched the end of the Arcade Fire surprise set while heading for Gojira. No Cars Go and Rebellion Lies. Did they perform any new material? 

Negatives: Kevin Morby. Unbearable scorching sun in the unpleasant Mordor area and nothing that really came alive in the live setting. 

[Messy]

Solange

To those questioning he organisers about booking Arcade Fire, anyone who was there will tell you it was a really magical set as the sun was going down in a unique setting. Still coming down from the buzz of it. How they kept it a secret astounds me.

Local Natives on a new stage was also pretty special and now it seems like we will get Mogwai joining the lineup too.

Pretty epic all round.

Olivedal1904 totally agree about Morby - good on record, totally lifeless live.

[Tilted]

Noticed the satellite stage when we where over watching Cymbals Eat Guitars/This Is Not This Heat on the Primavera Stage. The amount of equipment on stage sort of gave it away that it was Arcade Fire. 

Watched some of them but headed to the Auditori for The Zombies 

Mogwai have tweeted that they've just arrived in Barcelona with Primavera Sound replying 

 

[meg stuart]

does anyone know how can we get the ticket for those backstage parties?

[xxialac]

Where/when do we think Mogwai most likely to play?

[weston24]

Solange was really great.

Mogwai could be about the right size for the ray ban slot on Saturday night?

[xxialac]

You're right, they could pretty much pack it out and could well be.

Can't see them playing the Backstage - too small.

Maybe the same stage as Arcade Fire but a bit later?

Pond and Wedding Present for Unexpected tonight.

So how exactly can I find those TOKENS?

[Dontask]

Mogwai are apparently on at 8pm tonight.  Not sure what stage/where yet.  Will report back when I have more info. 

[Dontask]

Rumour is Barcardi stage, but that's tiny... will keep posting here when I get more info.

If it's at 8 the only choices are Bacardi or unexpected.
