Is Murder Cap your fav of the three? They're the only one that I haven't seen of the trio. 

I think so. I find Fontaines a bit dull (live and on record) and whilst Shame are very good live, I just don't listen to them very often. I much prefer the  bands I listed although wouldn't complain at all if Shame, Fontaines DC and The Murder Capital were there as all are deserving of a spot on the line up.

Edit: It's also about time that Protomartyr played Primavera again, especially as they have a new album on the way in 2020.

Do you guys think they will keep the gender balanced lineup for PS 2020? I'm just wondering because we had many female headliners this year but for 2020 we only know about Lana, I haven't seen any rumours about other female singers, who else could be a possible headliner? Kim Gordon, Kim Petras, Weyes Blood etc. are not big enough to play on the main stage but I'm pretty sure we will have at least another female headliner, I'm just not really sure who it could be.

As always, there will be some names that will pop up, that we don't know of yet. I can also imagine Patty Smith getting a slot quite far up.

Yeah agreed. There will be a female act that hasn’t really be considered so far that is headlining, maybe a Spanish act.

I hope so. I'm not sure if this is controversial or not but in my opinion because they had so many big  female names at the top of the line up in 2019 lots of the options are unlikely to be there, especially as we know that both Billie Eilish and Taylor Swift are unlikely. There are still good options though, including Patti Smith, Lana Del Rey and Kacey Musgraves. Bikini Kill and Sleater Kinney could also appear towards the top of the line up.

I agree, there don't seem to be too many options after this year, it will most likely be a surprise name, Kacey Musgraves is possible (though in Europe she is not as popular as in the US), also just remembered that Fiona Apple said in an interview that she hopes to release a new album in 2020, would be awesome if she was back, but not sure how realistic it is. I'm expecting to see Grimes as well near the top of the lineup, and still hoping for Angel Olsen...

Dua Lipa looked like a strong guess, but she's out. Ariana Grande maybe ? Gabi is a fan but he didn't like her Coachella performance last year so I'd say more no than yes. The lineup will be 50/50, the headliners I'm not so sure at this point. I'd be happy with Patti

 

On another note, it's time to bring Dinosaur Jr. back

Those are all great shouts. I'd love to see Grimes and Angel Olsen on the line up.

Aphex Twin is a good shout. His first album came out in 1992 so would fit the "nearly 30years" clue

This Is my bet too

I'm looking forward to see Grimes next year as well. Not gonna lie, it kinda triggered me her name not appearing on this year's lineup but I thought the album would drop earlier too

Yeah I'm pretty certain she'll be there.

Hey welcome back. So I have a source who told me Massive Attack and The National are playing but waiting for it to be confirmed by the festival.

Is Laura Marling a possiblity? I know she's doing a small solo tour in auz/NZ. 

Only got into her in the last two years. She's quite amazing.

Good call, I love her and didn't know she is touring next year, I don't think she is very likely but I would really love to see her!

[xxialac]

Top of my wish list would be Fiona Apple who seems more active than usual and owes Primavera one (like Björk) but almost never tours sadly.

Lizzo?

Patti Smith has good following in southern Europe but usually headlines 1000-2000 capacity shows.

Doubt it. As far as I’m aware, she has never headlined a major festival.

Lets throw in St Vincent, First Aid Kit, Diana Ross and Dolly Parton

Good calls.

[Guy Incognito]

Lizzo is a very good shout, could definitely take a prominent slot. It's a big yes from me for St Vincent and Laura Marling.

Played Mordor back in 2015, the entirety of Horses if I remember right. Very emotional gig.
