Primavera Sound 2020

[xxialac]

I'd assume Flaming Lips are one of the five. 
And MBV are classic Primavera material. If they're around, they'll be in.

oh man, walkmen are pretty much the only band i'd want to see more than pavement

Are there any rumors?

That wouldn't be a reunion would it?

only the one that just sort of started here i guess, but Hamilton doesn't have an album due i don't think, so there might be a Malkmus-type gap to allow for it

Looking at early years lineup, that could be Sonic Youth or White Stripes, but that would be bigger than Pavement, so that seems unlikely?

Would Duster be considered a reunion? They're releasing a new record in December, hopefully we'll see them on the Adidas stage

I reckon you mentioned two of the most unlikely bands to reunite in the whole world. I mean, I'd dig a Sonic Youth reunion any day of my life, but maybe we are shooting for the moon here.

Sonic Youth won't happen, Kim still isn't talking to Thurston.

Mission of Burma is my pick. About time they toured again, and one of them is at Primavera every year anyway.

Good point.

[Guy Incognito]

Gabi's comments were a little misleading as he labelled Tyler, The Creator as a "classic" amidst this talk of previous "classic bands" returning. I may be wrong but perhaps the classics that are returning aren't strictly "bands", and perhaps he was just using that term instead of "acts". I dunno. 

 

Also, surely Pavement count as one of the retuning classics.

Yeah I think Pavement definitely count as one of them. I wouldn't be surprised if a couple of them ended up being Spanish bands too.

Other guesses that have played Primavera before, are reunited and seem quite likely: Camera Obscura (2002), Sleater-Kinney (2006). Not sure if it fits "will be reunited" however.

Or does the sentence means that all five "indie" bands will be reunion shows, or that five bands from the early lineups will be playing again on the same weekend (reunited together)?

Sleater-Kinney also played 2015, so much for reuniting.

Oops. Ok then it doesn't work.

I think Camera Obscura are a fair guess.  They've been on hiatus since their keyboard player sadly died but they are now back.

[bobhoward]

Probably just dreaming here but I'd love one of the reunited bands to be Pulp. They're certainly classic Primavera material and Jarvis seems to be a friend of the festival. 

[RarerThanDandyB]

MCR reunion looking likely based on the RandL thread. They could be the reunion band playing?

Not in this lifetime

[Aguycalledpat]

Doves or Pulp?

[Lars]

Reunion - Supergrass ? 

[PaulSt]

I think it means that five indie bands from the past editions will all be on the line up. Wilco for sure ?

 

[Rico_Pliskin]

La roux is playing london in Feb, I'm sure she's a prima friendly act. 

[riseupandkill]

Wilco are back in the UK in mid June, a PS return could work

[Hip Priest]

Sun Kil Moon playing European dates in May finishing in London on the 30th ...

Did a great show in the Auditori around the time of Benji but his star has waned since.
