Primavera 2018

[xxialac]

Only a couple of acts have leaked (on a part of their website) - also Mount Kimbie and Nils Frahm

[boaboaboa]

Just seen a list on twitter of Primavera's recent follows...... Maybe a social announcement coming soon?

Couldn’t actually find those acts showing as followed yesterday by PV on Twitter. 

Maybe someone more tech savvy can confirm??

Seems like a partial Field Day leak? Minus Dr. John Cooper Clarke. 

Could also mean they are announcing soon.

Link posted earlier today

Edit: to make things easier: it lists Mount Kimbie, Thundercat, Princess Nokia, Nils Frahm, Dr. John Cooper Clarke. It appears to be an early draft of the line-up page.

Any chance of sharing the list?

It claims that Primavera followed the likes of The National, Warpaint and Nick Cave yesterday.

Looks fake to me (can anyone confirm?)

Car Seat Headrest has announced some European gigs in the run up to Primavera with no Spanish date so I guess he’s nailed on.

They played at 2016, might be too soon to come back (although they were much smaller then).

I'd sure hope so, they were great at PS16

Can see them doing the closing party alongside/instead of Ty Segall.

Not entirely comfortable disclosing how I know this but all the below may announce shows in the UK over/around the festival, if they haven't already. 

Beck, Beth Ditto, Christine & The Queens, Young Thug, Machine Head, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, The Wedding Present, Sparks, Public Enemy, Broken Social Scene

Great work!! 

I'd bloody love for Public Enemy to play ITANOMTHUS.

Also for Broken Social Scene to come back (not that it will happen), given their performance clashed with the Arcade Fire secret show.

I just searched "Primavera Sound" on twitter and it gave some top hits...

Again that twitter list appears to be fake (and for one thing, St Vincent isn't playing)

You're assuming that, you don't know that.

???

It's not assuming. Twitter is publicly accessible so you can check for yourself their recent followers and those names aren't among them (and if you were referring to the other thing, St Vincent is at nearby Vida festival in June)

For what it's worth the the list I put up. The screenshot is genuine. Whether or not they were actually followed that day I'm not 100% thinking about it. It's just I've noticed on people I have followed for a while when you click on followers and following it is gently in date order

[xxialac]

Why would it be titled 'followed today, definitely playing' if it in fact wasn't 'followed today'?  And as all of those artists have been scheduled to play Primavera in past years, it is the timing that they are added that is absolutely critical in determining whether it is relevant.

[Nicklord]

Machine Head won't play any festival. They hate them, they don't want to "support some edm bullshit" or whatever their wording was

I made took those screenshots  when I was out drinking and got excited. I've done another screenshot in the last 5 mins and the order is still the same. A lot of those have been talked about in recent weeks and I just found it to coincidental for them to be in a list together so soon to an expected announcement. Either way the screenshot wasn't faked 

[xxialac]

It was the saying 'followed today, definitely playing' part that was false.

Doubt Sleaford Mods or Richie Hawtin will play either.  The others, probably yes (which is probably coincidental, that's all).

[Friend Chicken]

Redtkt or Ticketmaster - what's easier to resell if the lineup's not worth flying over from California? Concerned this might not sell out which I'm assuming won't trigger the Redtkt marketplace.

He's the king of teasing, you got to give him that...

[xxialac]

Guess we'll get a date for the lineup.

Superchunk announced Europe dates around Primavera, but playing Tomavistas in Madrid? Dates end at the 2nd June so could play Prima on the 3rd?
