Primavera Sound 2020

[FloorFiller]

Eh I like Massive Attack enough but they wouldn’t be my first choice. Hoping for something a bit more up my street for the other headliners.

Same. Fairly underwhelming imo

I had no idea Massive Attack were so unpopular. I have only had good experiences over the last 20 years. Never cancelled, never underwhelmed.

They cancelled one gig at mad cool and everyone now think they are the worst most unreliable band ever. Ignoring the fact that pretty much every band have cancelled a gig before 

 

One of the best bands I have seen, unbelievable live. 

[Gnarler]

Yeah tbh I'm not a huge Massive Attack fan. Should be fine for noise bleed on the main stages so hopefully they'll be fine.

Kendrick is playing BBK, can we still count him in or?

Bit underwhelmed with these first names and surprised they didn't announce Lana, either, but maybe they have an agreement with other festivals about announcement times.

No headliners at first, so they get the chance to talk about the smaller acts.

from what i see on social media and here, every band or artist confirmed nowadays is disappointing for everyone, except if it is foals or tame impala ?

They said at the beginning- starting with the undercard to give them the focus - when the full lineup is out the headliners take all the attention.

This explains why Lena was not there today

[frankburns]

The New Normal and me...we will never be friends.

only with chromatics, bikini kill, sudan archives, jenny hval and kim gordon and it is already a better line up than most of 2020's known line ups

[Zoo Music Girl]

I'm considering doing my first Primavera next year and personally very happy with Bikini Kill, Mavis Staples and Massive Attack as a start. But how does that square with this?

Agree with this. And motherfucking Pavement!

No. They have just become unreliable in general in the last couple of years. They cancelled their Mad Cool Gig at last minutes notices because of sound interference (its a festival after all), they canceled US Dates and their preorders for Mezzanines boxes weren't heard of for a long time and then just scrapped. Its less that they cancel stuff, which everyone does, it is how they handle it.

I like the band, but in the recent past they haven't been exactly great fan-wise.

Ah that’s not true. I think it’s quite safe to say very few people on this forum would be hoping for those kinds of acts.

They cancelled US dates because they were denied a visa by the government. Seems harsh to judge them over this.

Really happy with the announcement today and ecstatic to hear about Kim Gordon and Massive Attack.

That's 11 acts today. Their maths is almost as good as their lineup strategy.

Or they've seen Spinal Tap ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hW008FcKr3Q

Can anyone confirm who listened? Seems pretty strange to announce 11 names when it was clear from the start that there would be 10...

[pipan]

so next 10/11 names tomorrow at the same time?
