Primavera Sound 2022

[Quadrophobia]

PNL are in France on WE one and were supposed to play in 2020

 

Honestly, they could just pull up Charli and RTJ and it would still be better than any line up around except maybe glasto

Gutted about Massive Attack not making it. Is there a possibility that NIN could replace them?

[MrTobs]

Mac DeMarco starts his european leg on 4th in Paris, so he could do 2nd june I guess. alt-j are around, although I can't see it. Mura Masa is playing in Porto, but not Barcelona, maybe he will be added.

Probably not. They always looked to be lined up to headline next year, and they have Hellfest exclusivity for festivals this summer.

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

Ah okay. Didn't know they were doing both! What about Lorde coming to weekend one?

She's busy too, London shows all across the first weekend.

Didn't see anywhere that there's an exclusive - usually if there is they put it on the poster. But then again maybe I'm just wishful thinking.

Lorde is busy all W1

They’re definitely an exclusive. I’d want them to be drafted in more than any other act, but it’s a non starter unfortunately. Gonna have to wait for them next year.

It was in the original Hellfest press release stuff. Sadly those UK shows they're now doing are a couple of weeks later than this, which would mean them coming over to Europe two weeks early to do Primavera, and then hang around. I just can't see it sadly, so it'll be 2023 almost certainly.

Ah shame. How often do you hear of artists breaking their exclusivity? I imagine if it's to get booked twice they'd consider it?

Seems to happen all the time, but iirc Hellfest got them as an exclusive under the guise of them curating their own day so would be pretty shitty of them to bail on that. Obviously talks can be had, but I just don’t see it happening.

As long as they're free on those dates I'm not ruling it out (in my head)!

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

😂😂😂 Ah,ok we're in 1995 (you are clearly ironic 😉)

[FloorFiller]

My memory’s pretty hazy on who he was even replacing (was it Frank?! or was that just Jamie xx?) but didn’t they get Skepta in ridiculously last minute in 2017? So surely can draft in somebody with two and a half months left, even if they’re not a total size like-for-like. Would be pretty shit if they didn’t tbh.

Skepta replaced Migos, so a bit of an upgrade tbh. Jamie replaced Frank which... wasn't.

I'm hoping for a decent external replacement rather than someone getting bumped up, but not getting my hopes up.

[Guy Incognito]

They got Skepta in at about 12hours notice

Was that in 2018 when Migos pulled out at the last minute? I think they booked Skepta as a replacement and then there was a problem with his flight, so he ended up missing his set. They got a big Spanish band, whose name I can’t remember, to play instead and Skepta ended up playing the next day as an extra act.

There’s normally one or two odd bookings but Migos headlining in the first place was bizarre. A very strange booking.

On the topic of European festival exclusives, I wish LCD Soundsystem wasn’t one so that they could fill the hole that Massive Attack left

Ah knew there was a reason no one was suggesting it. Shame!

[xxialac]

The answer is to draft Bradford in.

Deerhunter plays Halcyon Digest in full. Do it!

Would be a hell of a boost up the line up for them but yeah why not? 

[BenG92]

Super gutted about MA, one of the biggest on the bill for me, but obviously health takes priority, hope they get well soon. 

They've got 9 weeks to rope someone else in, surely they can manage that even if it's a "small" headliner? 

[Whos3000_]

They will offer a replacement. Otherwise they would have answered something like "the line up is already complete, there are tons of other band exc exc" to the dozens asking on social media. Instead they are saying they ca't reveal anything at this time. However, I doubt it will be a upgrade. Most we can hope for would be interpol or yyy imo, nothing to get too much excited about for me. No reason for them to waste money

Repeat of 2013 when they played around 5 times!
