Primavera Sound 2020

...and they've now fixed the date on their website.

Does seem a major cockup made by someone. Putting the wrong festival dates in a big font on your festival homepage!

This would make perfect sense given their absence this year.

Quite baffled that no one has mentioned Les Savy Fav

The first names for APE were announced on 6 November so we might be two weeks away from having an initial indication of who's around.

@xxialac Any news about this announcement?

Nothing yet, the first names had already been announced by now the previous two years so imagine they will come out next week.

Everyone seems to be taking their time with the announcements this year. Usually at this date we know much more.

 

I wonder if we'll get something new during PS weekender tomorrow, maybe some postcard with another band, or some other clue

That's a good thought. Would make sense for the organisers to want to draw more attention to the Weekender so I'd expect so.

Goldfrapp doing Felt Mountain for her 20th anniversary of the record?

Something going on with her instagram apparently.

I'm guessing the delays are down to getting a NiN replacement sorted.

[xxialac]

Think it's too early to speak of delays.

It's early November. Can't expect too much too be announced for next year at this stage. 

Primavera used to announce end of January every year.

Nov 30, 2016 - Primavera 2017 Announced

Jan 28, 2018 - Primavera 2018 Announced

Dec 6, 2018 - Primavera 2019 Announced

Primavera are not on a delay. Especially if, like Gabi said, we'll get it on the first half of December. It's inline with recent years.

it's the other festivals that are late. We usually know more about RW, Madcool, NOS, BBK, APE and many more at this point.

Mike D has confirmed Justice will release new music on 2020, its been 8 years already!

that's why I wrote USED to announce. I think in the period 2011-2016, it was almost always end of January.

All I'm saying is that festivals for May and June can't be expected to announce by early November. Coachella is the first of them and it doesn't announce until January.

We are still very much on schedule for a nice (still early) December announcement.

Certainly,i just want to point out that in recent years there' s no a clear path in date announcement ...

Real Estate ending their US tour on 22th of May, and got a new album next year. Seems very likely for a return next year!

Ha, was just about to post the same but you beat me to it.

Both Pavement and Pixies played at Primaveras 10th. Both should be here for the 20th as well, imho.

They're playing Mad Cool so I doubt it. Incidentally I applaud their zero tolerance stance on ticket touting. Good if more bands did this.

Looks like the National are taking High Violet on the road next year (prob around April).

Yeah? Is there any article to read? 

Maybe after 3 times seeing them live I'll finally hear About today. 

 

3rd time lucky as they say.

Thing is one of the dressner Bros are out of play until they're finished in May with big people Machine playing as support for Bon Ivers euro tour. 

[kingcrawler]

Looks like they're bringing their Homecoming festival back and playing High Violet in full for it's 10th anniversary. I don't see them doing a full tour with it though, I can see this taking place just after Aaron Dessner's tour with Bon Iver and then The National going on a break for a bit.
