Primavera 2018

[boaboaboa]

This has just come in...

Really hope it means Interpol are appearing: https://www.bst-hydepark.com/events/detail/35

 

[kingcrawler]

I reckon Interpol are more likely for one of Bilbao BBK or Mad Cool the week after that BST gig, maybe even Benicassim. 

[xxialac]

Agree, it gives support to the idea that they aren't coming. I really regret missing their TOTBL tour.

[Nick07]

Will this be announced before Xmas?

[boaboaboa]

Yeah TOTBL tour was amazing, and probably too close to their last performance at Prima for them to appear again... Goldfrapp and Slowdive? 

[kingcrawler]

Turnover just announced a one off London gig the week before Primavera, must be very likely to play here too.

Probably puts them right in line to play Slam Dunk, which is two days later. Following that, they're going on tour with Jimmy Eat World in Scandanavia.

The timing of Primavera falls somewhere in between. 

[boaboaboa]

They haven't been announced for Slam Dunk yet, and would fit Prima well. Though from the Slam Dunk line up I wouldn't be surprised if Thursday played. At a push Jimmy Eat World and Frank Carter too... Filling that Descendants spot from last year.

[ghostdancer1]

some support acts announced today for The National in Dublin on 15th/16th June:

Lisa Hannigan

Villagers

Aldous Harding

Jay Som

Rostam

 

last 3 are probably likely for PS, unless they were announced for elsewhere.

unlikely, they said the announcement will be mid-January.

[xxialac]

Jay Som makes a lot of sense.

I think we will piece together the headliners at the very least by Monday.

[xxialac]

Jack White playing in France at end of June. Guess that means he ain’t at PV.

[duckula]

Byrne for a potential headliner?

Hope he is.

Though he's playing BBK and the general assumption is that there's no sharing between the Spanish festivals (I don't know how much I buy this assumption, we already have the gorillaz on both bbk and sonar, so we can still hope)

I think they tend to avoid sharing headliners but undercard acts (which Byrne is at BBK and would be at Primavera) are probably fair game

Sounds reasonable, though last year's lineups had no sharing among PS, BBK and mad cool.

But I sure hope so, there are some nice acts on both BBK and mad cool I'd love to see

I think that's more down to dates really- they are like a month and a half apart

alt-J and Tame Impala co-headlined a day in PS 2015 AND 2016 respectively, and were shared with BBK. alt-J didn't headline BBK, but Tame Impala did. It's very reasonable to expect Byrne, as he wasn't announced as an exclusive like The xx and Noel Gallagher.

Deerhunter are playing France on both May 30th and June 4th. Could play PS anytime between Thursday and Sunday.

that would be great, they were excellent in 2016

[gregory]

Best Kept Secret (the week after Primavera): The National, LCD Soundsystem, Chvrches, Deerhunter, Father John Misty, Four Tet, Future Islands, Rodriguez, Spoon, The Internet, Ty Segall, Tyler, The Creator, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Vince Staples, … And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead, Aldous Harding, Alex Cameron, Khruangbin, Naaz, Preoccupations, Rex Orange County, Rostam, Shanti Celeste, Superorganism, The Comet Is Coming and Waxahatchee

[Nick07]

Wish they would just announce this 

[xxialac]

Well 10 people will know this weekend.

If they give each one a 'fake name' in order to see who then subsequently leaked it (a pointless exercise as no means of sanctioning that person), then if two people compare lists, they will see which names were fake and thus have the accurate lineup.

You will be very disappointed, nothing will leak until January.

Many people will post made-up "rumoured" Line-Ups, though.
