They're not gonna be using up 2023 headliner options (NIN, Arcade Fire, Rosalia), especially as this year's Primavera has already sold out 

I agree. I'm sure they'll have a scout around for someone but I'm not too bothered personally.

[chickenfire]

I reckon they will bring a band or two into weekend one but not necessarily as big as Massive Attack. 
Phoenix or Interpol would be fine to bring over a bit early for me. 

[Quadrophobia]

I mean, everythings stacked beyond measure anayways, so i wouldn't really need a replacement.

Be funny if they pull The Replacements though

[jannybruck]

There are plenty of larger acts around on the circuit this summer who would jump at the chance at this, but the festival don't really have any obligation to replace like-for-like.

I'm sad about the Massive Attack drop out but we were always expecting a changeable bill one way or another – either covid or for other reasons, as it was booked so far in advance.

[Guy Incognito]

Why couldn't it have been Tame Impala who pulled out ffs.

 

[JSmurphy]

Mac DeMarco is around in Europe from June 4th, no date in Spain yet either.

I could also see the xx added as most of the members are there/playing multiple shows across the fest. 

The xx can't just put on a show out of nowhere. Romy is focusing on dj'ing and doesn't even pop up to sing Loud Places when Jamie is playing a live set and Oli (or Ollie?) has just started a solo career. No chance.

There’s certainly enough time for them to find a replacement, especially as Massive Attack we’re meant to do both weekends, but I suppose unlike other festivals with one headliner to replace, Primavera is already treating us with multiple headliners per night so could probably get away with a reshuffle. Hope not though. Not expecting anything like NIN, Rosalia or an act probably already lined up for next year, but a slightly smaller but still sizeable act drafted in doesn’t seem like too big an ask at this point. 

[JSmurphy]

Not sure I see any of these bumping up to be a headliner:

[jannybruck]

Yeah Yeah Yeahs are around for the second weekend, who are probably the right sort of size band who'd be able to get drafted in.

If only... A weekend with both a Replacements and a Pavement reunion... Oh boy.

[neacaisa]

afaik tricky is the one that is sick and he also cancelled his solo tour so it's not really a surprise.

In the UK in between weekends too. Make it happen Gabi!

They wouldn’t need to, though. They’ve already got two headliners on that day and Primavera often has a changing number of headliners per night (Sunday of weekend 2 has 5 headliners).

They can easily just shunt, say, Kacey Musgraves back a timeslot and not refer to her as a headliner. It’s not like Glasto or something where it’s clear that someone is playing as a headliner or a sub or whatever.

That's right, although I can easily imagine Kacey Musgraves or Charli XCX pushed to the top line (I don´t think they are that much "smaller" than Megan Thee Stallion or Jorja Smith).

Phoenix please

Busy that weekend at other festivals sadly.

Available only on the 2nd, with shows in France on the 3rd and 4th. 

Hard to see it as they already do fr-es-fr-es for the city and weekend 2

[Guy Incognito]

They'll just get an act who's currently playing one weekend to play both (Interpol, YYYs, The Smile, National, Nick Cave) 

[Zoo Music Girl]

Would be great to get YYYS or The Smile. The National and Nick Cave already on weekend one though.

I mean from weekend one to weekend two. Massive Attack were doing both weren't they?

[jannybruck]

The Smile are busy on the first weekend so it won't be them. YYYs is the only one that makes sense to me given the dates and availability.

Yeah, so you'd need someone from Weekend 1 to also double up to Weekend 2 

EDIT: Ignore me I'm an idiot
