Primavera Sound 2019

[livenstu]

So this years Heineken stage line up is picked by... us?? 

Via a Facebook link, you add your wishes in the comments  - the cynic in me says that it's already decided, people are bound to cross over the already booked artists - if not then Tom Waits, Cocteau Twins & Boards of Canada, please & thank you!

Haha, yeah no way they can just add up the votes and book the most popular ones.

Bit gimmicky really, c'mon Primavera you don't have to keep resorting to this.

This must be the quietest Primavera forum in many years. Also barely any news from the organisers.

And no-one has even had an attempt at a clashfinder yet.

Sad times

Always amazed that someone thinks they can do a Clashfinder for Primavera!

Definitely.

So have a listen to new Anastasia Kristensen EP, it's pretty good.

Still got two tickets for sale at the early bird price if anyone's interested.

demand for this year edition is more then bad ....there are 220tickets  on ticketswap at the moment and number is just rising,  I belive in last few weeks they will have lots of actions on social networks  where they will be giving them for free...

Maybe that's why they're doing the "choose your own" Hidden Stage gimmick?

Or maybe demand is just different - people who are scared of Carly Rae Jepson selling tickets they'd already bought - and even though ticketswap appears cheaper than the main site, I suspect most people won't take the chance or even be looking there while it's not sold out.

Im pretty much sure their marketing team have no idea what they are doing. Carl Rae Jepson looks even benign compared to some other bold names on our pink poster.

Is that Carly's brother?

[FKA SOSOTWS]

Didn't that Gabi dude say that all sorts of festivals across Europe are having trouble this season? I could understand the lack of a Radiohead/Arctic Monkeys-type headliner leading to less sales, but I doubt that a more indie-based lineup would have sold better than what Primavera is offering this year.

Those clashfinders help to keep your expectations in check though, particularly for when the schedule actually drops and you have to cross out half your must-sees due to conflicts.

The new CHAI record is out today. It is brilliant!

Oh yes! Can't wait to see them live! 

[Martin_89]

Seems like my music taste for the moment is ready for this years Primavera. Kind of surprised with the result really: 

You can check yours here (if you use Spotify): https://smirnoff.withspotify.com/ 

[FKA SOSOTWS]

67% men, 33% women. Though the majority of must-sees on my Primavera list are women, so this Spotify Equalizer business means jack shit.

Hahaha and wow, those suggestions that Smirnoff comes up with are terrible.

Lucy Dacus says that Woodstock 50 is the only Boygenius show on the books for 2019. Makes you wonder whether they could still add a secret Primavera show...

Love it. Fingers crossed they get another couple of singles out before the fest, if not the full album.

New Lizzo/Apparat/Peggy Gou today too.
