Today's show is about the El Punto stage

What's that? I didn't go in 2019 and don't remember any stage with that name in 2018 or 2016

i think it is a stage curated by young beef

I really liked these announcements at first, but since they tuned down not only the frequency and the number of names but also seem to be announcing mostly obscure Spanish/Catalan or other very small Acts that have no relevance for 90% of the audience, I'm starting to get tired of them

Announce Death Grips, Gabi. Give the people what they want.

I agree, and I find it strange that it's only in Spanish. Then they just ignore 50 % of their audience.

I can understand the Spanish part, because it takes time, effort and planning capacities to make a radio show. We cannot know how fluent all of the involved are in English, so it might come at extraordinary effort to offer it in English, too. Especially since they are devoting around 15 minutes in-depth conversation to every act at the moment.. Also keep in mind, that the international audience generally doesn't pay that much attention to RPS, whilst it is probably wider received around the year in Spain and especially Barcelona.

Yeah, I understand that. But since they are announcing so much of their lineup at RPS, many non-spanish will have some interest to follow it. 

[Macabre]

I like the idea of the radio show to allow the hosts to have a more in depth conversation about each of the bookings but using this as the only communications channel just feels so amateur. Any non Spanish speakers or those who miss the show are relying on forums and such to actually find out who's been announced. That alongside the lack of communication behind the changes in announcement schedules, from 10 acts every day to 4 acts on Mondays, just makes the whole thing seem so disorganized.

Cheers guys!

[Orens]

So we've got BigKlit alongside Vagina Dentata Organ. The New Normal!

The radio host said this COULD (as she probably isn't sure too) be the last Release the Lineup, Mother****ers show.

I guess they might deliver the poster next week, with Santa's reindeer

They are talking about Coldplay and I admit that I would absolutely LOVE to see them performing Parachutes in full 20yrs after it’s release. I saw them in 2003 (for the first and last time) and it was brilliant. Not gonna happen tho I know.

Almost no chance, surely. Wouldn't make sense tactically to release it then with no little media coverage possible. 

Surely we are still looking at Jan.

Gwen Stefani just announced for Cruilla in bcn a month later. Not sure if anyone was interested in her but these festivals very rarely share acts.

Indeed. Janelle Monae wore vagina pants last year and Stereolabia also played.

Heartbreak. If they somehow pull Missy Elliot out of their ass I'll buy two tickets.

Missy had a really cool looking stage show for her recent performance. 

Although it was for an awards show so doubt it would be the same on tour.

Allie X looks likely, if you're into that kind of thing.

[FKA SOSOTWS]

WTF is an Allie X.

[n=Nowheretohide]

Why nobody wants to point out  that today announcement was piss poor disappointing even for their standards...  really do not understand these primavera guys if they are not ready to give full poster yet then for christ sake drop some interesting names that will left us wanting for more....
