Primavera Sound 2020

[xxialac]

Tinariwen are around the weekend of Primavera.

I pray that it is not the weeknd

Patti Smith could also be a possibility. She's a past performer and has concerts booked in Germany starting June 10th.

Is it likely for us to get a date for the full lineup announcement during the radio show tomorrow? In the WhatsApp conversation used to promote tomorrow's show Gabi answered "ready" when the radio asked "where is the full lineup?".

why are people thinking FNM will be there? surely with them announced as Mad Cool headliners, there's almost no chance at PS, and they're not really a PS type of headliner anyway...

Yeah, but Nine Inch Nails were booked apparently; but they canceled. And I know they're not the same band, I can imagine FNM filling the NiN-shaped hole.

There's definitely a chance, although this whole small, early announcement thing makes me think that the full line up reveal has been delayed.

Obviously can't disclose how I got the info but a friend of mine has seen the full lineup and he described it as "well worth getting a ticket". This is, of course, painfully vague information, but at least we know the full poster is ready to go :) I'd expect them to announce a full release date tomorrow. I expect 12th Dec...

Can he describe how "indie" is it compared to the past couple of years?

Apparently Primavera will announce one of those acts too, not a headliner though. Who do you think it is? Bad Bunny, Supergrass, Caribou?

 He said that he can confirm it is "much more indie and much more bandy" this year so that should please a lot of Prima purists.

If Bad Bunny is playing then he will probably headline. I can see Caribou playing Ray-Ban..

I heard three common acts today, so I guess all three

Thats interesting. Lana, Tyler (and Bad Bunny) would probably headline and aren't bandy at all.

I can see Whitney doing Primavera, already announced for All Points East two weeks before the festival.

Pavement on the other hand are very bandy.

Riiight, I always forget that they are already announced. On the good site: it makes me happy every time someone reminds me, love Pavement, so thanks for that.

I was there too. Living in Vlc, it was a no-brainer. I go along with the above message , it was a fantastic weekend. Looks like it was a one-off though, a thank you to the PS regulars, they must have (knowingly) taken a financial hit on it.
I get what has been said above about the (lack of) attraction for Brits but for music fans in Spain, outside Barcelona and Madrid at least, it was an unmissable chance to see bands big and small who will never visit our cities.
Old Normal on and off the stage: I would say the audience was easily 80% Spanish. Average age well above PS Bcn too.
Didn't come across many band members off-stage, they had their own chalet and food area, though Gabi and the PS crew were standing at the back for Derby Motoreta.
Milked it til the end (Talabot til 7am) with no more than 50 others still standing/dancing at final whistle.

Thank you and thank you @MatheauWillis @Hip Priest very interesting.  I would be surprised if they set up any event to lose money - that sounds like the ATP school of economics.  what do  you think is behind the expansionism, and the London and LA stuff?  Is it exploiting all the contacts they have built up over the years? Are they actually just licensing "Primavera Sound" to someone else?  I would be interested in details.

God I hope todays announcement is worth the hype

Will be 6 headliners in total like always: half bandy half not. It's the undercard that's a bit more bandy.

Hoping for IDLES, Wu-Tang Clan, Ween, Missy Elliott, Girl Band, Altin Gün and of course RATM but it looks like we'll be getting FNM. 

Also hoping for Idles and Girl Band. Wonder how likely it’s looking for them both 

[Andrej]

I guess headliners are Lana, Pavement and Tyler. Hard to say for other 3.

The other 3 aren't as obvious for sure but have been mentioned in this chat.

Sounds great. Who could those two bandy headliners be? Hopefully The Strokes or Arcade Fire, but I don't know. Are Vampire Weekend big enough to co-headline a day with someone like Lana?
