More realistic than people thinking Portishead would be the replacement...

Not really. Both bands equally as inactive at the moment.

Surely there's a chance that theyre just holding off on announcing a MA replacement coz they want to do a separate announcement for it? Theyve replaced other artists with much less notice, so would be weird if they didn't do the same here. I wouldn't even mind if they replaced them with some slightly smaller acts, like I dunno... Spiritualized and MBV for example

Yeah, I'm still confident they'll be an MA replacement. Wouldn't read anything at all into this announcement. 

A headliner replacement deserves its own news briefing.

[bobhoward]

I still think there’s time and room for them to add mid level acts who are around as replacements. Spiritualized, hot chip, peaches, etc.

tbh i would have been happy with someone small but after all this messing around, they better be giving us someone like Kendrick

Rumour has it the lead single for new record is called ''Primaver-yuh'' and he's gonna announce a slot in Mordor mid song. Weekend 1 only though.

Free both weekends 🙂

All jokes aside tho, is Kendrick that unrealistic a booking for the future? I mean theyve managed to get Tyler the Creator and Travis Scott to perfom, who are also both pretty huge in Hip Hop circles

For the future? Not at all, new album in a few weeks. Said it before but I expect 2023 to be something like

Kendrick / NIN / Massive Attack / Bjork / Arcade Fire

He's probably a pretty reasonable contender for next year. Though there are a lot of those already... 

[Guy Incognito]

Definitely not unrealistic. He's played before. 

Primavera Sound is the biggest festival in Spain/The Med. He's likely to play there next year I reckon.

[Gregorick]

You all missed the biggest news though

ESTRELLA IS OFFICIALLY THE BEER SPONSOR AGAIN

[BenG92]

Think Kenny is also probably nailed on for Rock Werchter 2023 considering he was supposed to play 2021.

I originally was of the view that W1 was much stronger than W2 but since the first announcement I think this may have changed. 

W1 (OUT - Brockhampton, Turnstile etc) 

W2 (IN - YYYs, The Smile, Phoenix etc) 

Weekend 2 ain't got the National so it's playing catch up from the start! 

[kaytee...]

If there was a replacement for Massive Attack it wouldn't make sense for them to announce until the week of the festival given how much backlash they're getting so far. The festival can't predict when someone will fall ill/logistical travel issues

[Whos3000_]

you can't just announce travis scott and bjork and leave me with tame impala as the main guy the day after

[Whos3000_]

why mdou moctar weekend 2 when 3 big acts have dropped wk 1? this is becoming my less favourite primavera line up tbh

They must be holding back some surprises based on it being the 20th anniversary and 3 years in the waiting? 

Suprise is that its actually happening

[xxialac]

I think we'll get the Massive Attack replacement in the next fortnight or so. Probably someone slightly smaller but not insultingly so.

It's crazy IMO to give them grief over this; it's only been a month since they cancelled and a headliner is always the hardest act to find replacements for.

Then do not post a new poster with no new name on it maybe?? 😅

[Quadrophobia]

At this point I'm sure there will not be a replacement.

I was wrong about many things many times, and I hope that I continue to be, but I don't see who they'd pull on such short notice in the craziest year in recent festival history.

Ha, on the poster it's noticeable that they didn't bump anyone up or put Fred Again on the top line.

Still think it's horrible messaging to do all this today with zero mention of an MA replacement, if they really intend to replace them. IMO today was them telling us there's no replacement, but we will see. 

Mad Cool 22 is another level of bad PR but at least their poster has that little asterisk on the poster let you know something is coming.

They replaced Migos and Cardi B at less notice.

And when Frank Ocean cancelled with a week's notice, they offered refunds (which they didn't have to do).

Keep the faith...

If it eventually happens they really need to rethink their pr strategy
