But the quote you posted teases them is Gabi teasing them as a headliner (unlike those acts listed) isn't it? Or did I misread it?

Yet, it says nothing about either the timeslot or the headlining structure. Check out the first published poster of 2017 - It has nine acts of the biggest possible font, two of those performed at the sunset slot (plus the first non-headlining act which was supposed to perform early). In fact, four 2017 headliners performed back-to-back on the Thursday: Solange, Bon Iver, Slayer, Aphex Twin.

Gabi was answering somebody's question referring to TWOD as headliners. I don't think it means they will headline, but I do understand the logic.

I see. I was thinking his description of headliners referred to the top line.

yeah what do we reckon the chances of Kendrick playing PS are? Fairly small I'd have thought.

I was pretty confident of him as a prediction until the other day and that Facebook live chat thing - don't really know what they're getting at by saying he's only touring at the end of the year (do they mean summer?) - and now with those prices... Still though, he hasn't got a Spanish date on that tour.

Wonder where we're at for headiners now. Just The National, maybe The War on Drugs if taking Gabi literally and Jack White if other festivals will come in for him as well...

Always a hard one to call. I still don't see The War On Drugs as headliners personally although maybe they could just sneak in on the top tier of the poster. Are they as big as Sigur Ros and The xx? Think the other two headliners would have to be big bookings to make up for it (e.g Radiohead and LCD Soundsystem in 2016)

They're playing venues as big as those lot (and The National) would so I don't think they'd be pathetic headliners but I get that their ascent hasn't exactly been big news so many would be surprised.

Beck is another name that would just sneak on probably. Yeah Yeah Yeahs should be the (not technically) reunion they were talking about on the transcript but again, they're not a clear headliner either.

I do wonder who the biggest name could be really... The Cure? I think Gorillaz will be at Benicassim.

yeah you're probably right, could definitely argue that theyre as big as Sigur Ros. I'm not expecting an act as big as Radiohead again and in my mind I have The National as the biggest name. The Cure is a good shout and I agree on Gorillaz being at Benicassim. Nine Inch Nails are another than come to mind.

Also I was overlooking Queens of the Stone Age because I thought The National, Kendrick Lamar and QOTSA all from 2014 would be overkill but if we're to look at a group of headliners without Kendrick then Queens - who as we know are around in June - could come back in.

Queens of the Stone Age are in Europe around that time, already confirmed for Denmark's Northside festival on the NOS Primavera weekend. (edit: @dentalplan was posting at the same time :))

Keep in mind Chance The Rapper, who should be on the way to his proper debut album (so far he's only released three mixtapes), and Gabi has mentioned back in November 2016 but eventually he ended up with a massive US tour, headlining overseas festivals during Primavera.

QOTSA, The National and Chance The Rapper makes a lot of sense. Then acts like Missy Elliott, Grizzly Bear, The War on Drugs, Father John Misty, St Vincent on the level below.

How's about:

The National, Queens of the Stone Age, Chance the Rapper, Yeah Yeah Yeahs
The War on Drugs, David Byrne, Father John Misty, St. Vincent, Caribou

(or YYY's/TWOD switched if that makes better sense?)

Does that hit enough bases?

I'd say so. Would love to see any of Kurt Vile & Courtney Barnett, Four Tet, Ought, Ariel Pink, Perfume Genius, Forest Swords, Protomarytr, Algiers, John Hopkins playing too.

What big Spanish festivals are late summer? Benicassim is the latest one I can think of, though Kendrick would be a good fit there too. 

I wasn't planning on returning as soon as next year but if they manage QOTSA, The National, Father John Misty and The War on Drugs as some of the top tier acts I might have to reconsider.

Kendrick has headlined FiB in 2016.

Mad Cool (12-14 July) only had two editions but he doesn't seem like a fit there.

Bilbao BBK (12-14 July) could make sense but that's a much smaller, cheaper festival.

 

If anything, Primavera probably has the best shot among major Spanish festivals.

Can't see Kendrick returning to Primavera next year. He did it in 2014 when he was a lot smaller and he now seems considerably bigger than almost all of it's usual headliners. I think they'd struggle to afford him these days.

Benicassim seems a more realistic Spanish festival for him to end up at imo.

Could Morrissey possibly headline one night? Not sure if he's ever played the festival before...

I think he currently has a meat ban, which won't go down well in PS.

Gabi has claimed back in May that PS was the first big festival to ever give Kendrick a headliner slot (although he played before Nine Inch Nails back in 2014). That's not a knock on Primavera, that's a sign of respect. Considering his global status and the supposed ticket prices to his Euro arena tour, Kendrick could end up being like the biggest, most expensive headliner on any lineup he's gonna end up this year. If anything, rolling with a hip-hop act as the biggest headliner is still very unconventional nowadays, something only Primavera Sound could pull off.

anyone reckon the shite going down in Catalonia is going to hit onto this...?

An economic blockade at some level is starting to look pretty likely if Catalonia follows thru on what its saying.

Today the second biggest Catalán Bank (Banco Sabadell) has moved to Alicante.

Huge rumours that the biggest catalán bank (2nd Spanish Bank), Caixabank will also run away from Catalonia to Mallorca this week.

Catalan biggest insurance company (Catalana Occidente) is also moving out of Catalonia.

I think that Primavera will go on, but maybe they will move their financial headquarters to Madrid.

All catalán big entrepaneurs are scared because maybe next monday Catalan president will declare Independece, so Catalonia can be out of EU, so the y are running away. I hope that all this shit will end asap. Another general strike is being planned for next week. Bad news for a great place with great people as Catalonia.

    • Nine Inch Nails confirmed.
    • 1. Paul McCartney at the Co-op 2. Ezra Collective at Green Man 3. Idles at Manchester Apollo   
    • I seem to be in the minority here, but i really really enjoyed the AM gig in 2023 🤩 Had seen them tons of times before, but this probably was the best one for me.   I enjoyed the first hour of Coldplay, but lost my attention in the second part. Arcade Fire never really was my cup of tea & I barely have any memories of that gig (despite being sober 😀)
    • Lovely question.   I'd probably say...   Taylor Swift wins out at #1 with 2 nights on the bounce at Wembley Stadium    Very closely followed by The Cure at Troxy at #2   And Bruce Springsteen in Cardiff at #3.   Honourable mentions for Bad Manners and Last Dinner Party at The Fleece at #4 and #5 respectively.
    • Alpha Heat Vest Cost: What You Need to Know Before Buying The Alpha Heat Vest has quickly gained popularity as a game-changing piece of winter clothing that provides adjustable warmth through integrated heating technology. With the promise of convenience, comfort, and warmth, it has attracted a lot of attention from outdoor enthusiasts, commuters, and anyone looking to stay cozy during the cold months. However, one common question potential buyers have is:  How much does the Alpha Heat Vest cost? In this article, we’ll break down the cost of the Alpha Heat Vest, the factors influencing its price, where to buy it, and whether it offers good value for your money. 1. What Affects the Cost of the Alpha Heat Vest? The price of the Alpha Heat Vest can vary depending on several factors, including the brand, features, and where you purchase it. While the cost might seem higher compared to traditional winter clothing, the advanced technology and additional benefits justify the investment for many buyers. Here are some key factors that influence the pricing of the Alpha Heat Vest: a. Heating Technology The primary feature of the Alpha Heat Vest is its built-in heating technology. This involves rechargeable lithium-ion batteries that power heat zones within the vest. The more advanced the heating system, the higher the cost of the vest. Some models may offer additional heating zones or longer battery life, which can increase the price. b. Materials and Build Quality The materials used in the construction of the vest play a significant role in determining the price. High-quality, durable fabrics such as water-resistant or waterproof materials, as well as lightweight yet insulating options like down or synthetic fibers, will contribute to a higher price. Additionally, well-constructed vests with premium stitching and design can raise the cost, ensuring the vest lasts through many winters. c. Brand and Reputation Different brands that produce Alpha Heat Vests may price their products differently based on brand reputation, product performance, and customer service. Well-established brands with a track record for quality and reliability tend to charge more for their products. Conversely, lesser-known brands may offer more budget-friendly options but might not provide the same level of quality or warranty. d. Retailer and Location The platform you choose to purchase the Alpha Heat Vest from will also affect the price. Official websites, authorized retailers, and popular e-commerce platforms like Amazon often have varying prices for the same product. Additionally, shipping fees and taxes can increase the final cost, depending on where you live. 2. How Much Does the Alpha Heat Vest Cost? The cost of an Alpha Heat Vest can vary based on the model, features, and where you purchase it. On average, the price of an Alpha Heat Vest ranges between $100 and $250. Here's a more detailed breakdown: a. Entry-Level Models ($100 - $150) These models tend to offer basic features such as a few heating zones and limited heat settings. They’re often made from lighter, less expensive materials but still provide adequate warmth and comfort. These vests are ideal for people who need a simple, functional heated vest without breaking the bank. What you get at this price: Basic heating options (usually one or two heating zones) Shorter battery life (usually around 3-5 hours) Basic fabric, often water-resistant but not waterproof Limited warranty or return options b. Mid-Range Models ($150 - $200) Mid-range Alpha Heat Vests typically offer better materials and more heating zones, along with longer battery life. These models are perfect for those who want reliable performance during outdoor activities or daily use without paying the premium price for high-end versions. What you get at this price: Multiple heating zones (often covering the chest and back) Adjustable heat settings (low, medium, high) Improved battery life (usually 5-8 hours) Durable fabrics like breathable and water-resistant materials Better fit and design options Better customer support and warranty options c. High-End Models ($200 - $250) For those who want the best of the best, high-end Alpha Heat Vests come with advanced features, premium materials, and extended battery life. These vests often come with multiple heating zones that heat up faster and provide consistent warmth for long periods. They also feature more sophisticated battery management systems, ensuring the heat lasts for longer durations. What you get at this price: Advanced heating zones (including the neck, shoulders, and arms) Longer battery life (8 hours or more) High-quality materials, such as waterproof, windproof, and breathable fabrics Premium design and construction with better fit and mobility Additional features like USB ports, washable components, and more Comprehensive warranty and easy return/exchange policies 3. Is the Alpha Heat Vest Worth the Price? When deciding whether the Alpha Heat Vest is worth the cost, it’s important to consider how much you value the features it provides. Below are some factors to weigh: a. Performance and Convenience If you often find yourself in cold environments—whether you're commuting in winter, hiking, skiing, or working outdoors—the ability to adjust the heat in your vest can be a significant advantage. The convenience of having a lightweight, battery-powered garment that keeps you warm without bulky layers makes the investment worthwhile for many people. b. Durability Given the technology integrated into the Alpha Heat Vest, it’s designed to last longer than a traditional jacket or sweater. With proper care, these vests can continue to provide reliable heating for several years. Keep in mind that buying from a reputable brand can ensure higher durability and better customer service. c. Cost vs. Traditional Winter Wear When you compare the price of an Alpha Heat Vest to traditional winter coats, the cost is certainly higher. A good quality winter jacket can cost anywhere from $100 to $200, but it won't provide the added benefit of adjustable heating. For people who prioritize warmth in colder climates or specific activities like outdoor sports, the value of a heated vest becomes more apparent. d. Long-Term Savings For those living in regions with long winters or people who frequently go outdoors, the investment in an Alpha Heat Vest can be seen as a long-term solution to avoiding multiple layers of clothing and bulky coats. The vest's energy-efficient heating system can also reduce the need for using high-energy heaters indoors, potentially lowering your energy bills during winter. 4. Where to Buy the Alpha Heat Vest To ensure you’re getting an authentic Alpha Heat Vest at a fair price, consider purchasing from one of the following sources: Official Website: Buying directly from the manufacturer’s site guarantees the best price, along with warranties and customer service options. Amazon: Amazon offers a range of Alpha Heat Vests from multiple sellers, providing user reviews to help guide your decision. Outdoor Retailers: Websites like REI or d*ck’s Sporting Goods may offer Alpha Heat Vests with added perks like in-store returns or loyalty programs. Local Retailers: Some physical stores, especially those selling outdoor gear, may carry Alpha Heat Vests during the colder months. 5. Conclusion: Is the Alpha Heat Vest Worth the Cost? Ultimately, the Alpha Heat Vest offers good value for those who need reliable warmth in a lightweight, portable form. The cost, typically between $100 and $250, is justified by the advanced heating technology, durable materials, and long-term benefits it provides. Whether it’s worth the price depends on your personal needs and lifestyle. If you frequently face cold weather and need a versatile garment that keeps you warm without the bulk of traditional coats, the Alpha Heat Vest is likely a worthwhile investment. Just be sure to consider the different models available, read customer reviews, and compare prices across platforms to ensure you're getting the best deal.
