Do we think Autechre, The Caretaker and Jenny Hval will all play the auditori?

These are certains I rekcon but can't really see who else would go in there right now, maybe someone like Squarepusher or Weyes Blood. I'd hope they're keeping it a little bit flexible until they have a better idea of stuff like dropouts and replacements.

I also imagine lots of acts will still be in dialogue with the festival about the technical aspects of their live sets and where it might fit best aesthetically, as it was booked so long ago.

[xxialac]

I'd like to see a special Auditori act added such as Kronos Quartet (who are touring in May) and a classic-album-played-in-full-act added to play in the Forum too.

[Nesser]

Gabi confirmed at the end of 2019 that Jenny Hval was slated to play at the auditori so the best guess is that she's still playing there. The Caretaker seems a no brainer and Autechre too but they may be too big for it. Besides, I remember reading something about the decibels they were asking to play at and there could be some issues with it so I'm not sure if they'll end up there.

Anyway, it seems the law enforcing to wear masks indoors here is going to be lifted gradually after Easter or even next week so if nothing wrong happens mask won't be necessary at all.

Is Mitski a Massive Attack replacement option? She has a massive Primavera gap in her schedule and no Spain dates.

Mavis Staples and Maria Del Mar Bonet are also auditori candidates in my opinion

 

[Nesser]

Yep, Maria del Mar Bonet also was announced for the auditori. Should be interesting to see if Manel play with her the other way around since Manel sampled her in their latest album.

Mavis would be amazing mid-afternoon in the sun so I really hope not! She does huge, joyful sets.

To be honest I feel like she's one of the strongest candidates to drop out given her age and the fact she may be reluctant to travel this summer, but I've got my fingers crossed.

honestly I don't think she can make the WE2 Vacancy although she's technically free. She's on the kick off date of Harry Styles Arena Tour the day after and such things typically require you be there a day in advance, since its the first time the production goes live.

separate issue completely but as it stands, those who want to enter spain from abroad have to pre register their flight details and passport numbers online and then fill in a form either online or that gets emailed to you 2 days before travel.

 

might not be required in 8 weeks or whatever, but worth a pre register to get the forms, if you're that way inclined

Worth noting, yes.

In my experience, the form is much easier to fill out than e.g. the old UK one and it spits out a QR code which gets quickly and efficiently scanned in the baggage collection area.

Looks like BCNR will play brand new songs only.

Heading to Bilbao tomorrow for a few days.

Only issue I had with the form, was the Region names staying in Spanish while the rest of the form was in English ... Most were obvious, but then I had to google the regions I didn't know to find out that 'Pais Vasco' is what I needed for Basque Country.

I remember in one of their interviews they said they won't play Issac's songs without him, so yeah, probably.

A shame since their last album was really good, and I was really looking forward to hearing "Sunglasses" live since they were announced in 2019.

Yeah they confirmed this when Issac left. Makes them a less essential watch for me, but I’ll definitely check them out if they’re clash free (which, of course, won’t be the case, so suppose I’ll see em another time).

[jannybruck]

Something bizarre about them basically being a new band, with totally new untested material, and still getting the same booked slots as their previous incarnation. Even saying as a fan I'm not sure how I feel about it really.

Their first gig back is a couple of weeks before the fest so will be interesting to hear how the audience receives the new songs. They've actually been booked since his departure to headline festivals this year, which seems a bit more contentious.

God I'm nervous about the 2nd, even without Massive Attack I have a sinking feeling that Dinosaur Jr. are gonna clash with Tame Impala. 

[Nesser]

They already clashed with Radiohead back in 2016 so might clash with the headliner again

Yeah I’d be gutted to miss Dinosaur Jr but their day is heaving with stuff I want to see so I’m very much expecting it.

Spain removed this requirement today, so no need to register, just have Corona pass.

Yes, works across EU now, just came back off holiday from a couple of places. Though I think lots of countries will be dropping it completely in the coming months to ensure they get a huge tourist season, so who knows if it'll still be much of a thing by then.

[thespiral]

Booked through Dice and still no sign of email Accessticket app thingy ?

Any other Dice bookers received theirs yet ? 
 

Might be my covid brain fog but I miss the simple old ways of having a ticket and that was it 🙂

Why the hell wasn’t Iggy Pop rebooked?! I don’t even know if he’s free to replace Massive Attack, just get him back! 

 

Agree. Was gutted when Iggy dropped off the bill .

We want Iggy ! We want Iggy !
