Can probably rule out Arctic Monkeys given these dates. Maybe a trip to Bilbao for them instead?

Got Mad Cool written all over them...

Good. Less chance of insufferable lads on tour-Brits being there.

Well according to the lead singer they are the best band in the world 🙄

I agree, I don't understand this disrespect for AM, seems cool to criticize them

Let's hope they will announce Pulp instead of them!

Well, they've committed the cardinal sin of being popular, don't you know... 😅

Ah sure lookit, I love AM but I'd rather see them at a standalone show, and it's certainly fair to say there was a much bigger British lad element to the last year they played PS than any other time I've been. 

So if that's where people are coming from, I can get why there might be some people pleased to see them all-but ruled out. 

That said, I wouldn't be rushing out to pick up tix on the basis of some of the other rumoured headline acts. Different strokes, etc. 

But I am on record here, I think, in saying I'm more keen on a stronger undercard than headliners next time out so I can avoid Mordor more. Didn't enjoy my time there this year.

With Festicket going into administration, anyone who bought a payment plan through them for Primavera 2023 faces the risk that they will never get their money back (and will have to buy a new ticket) as I doubt there will be anything left for their unsecured creditors.

Won't affect Dice purchases.

This was Trent yesterday on their official discord:

Doesn‘t sound like next year‘s tour or Primavera are nailed on. (Pun intended.)

[Ohad]

Rihanna announced as superbowl headliner. This usually means staiudm tour is on the way. A hot name for festival season

Not a fit for Primavera.

Even Miley Cyrus wasn't

True but she was a last minute draft and Rihanna is dramatically more expensive.

I doubt she'll play any festival in Spain - even MadCool. 

More of a stadium and arena act.

[Andrej]

Slim chances for Rihanna at MadCool. Zero chance for Primavera.

If there is new music on the way, she will do a mix of stadiums and arenas on her own.

Four Tet London show announced for the weekend before, so he's almost certainly playing.

Good spot. He's bound to be there.

Pet Shop Boys are playing some shows in mid-June and haven't played in over 12 years.

She would 100% fit the current vision of Primavera as well as Beyoncé. I think they are too expensive though. I have no idea about arctic monkeys but at least some of the big names in the American primavera must be there…I am skeptical that NIN would drop out

To „drop out“ - were they ever in? I know they were booked for 2021 (?) but doesn’t their absence in 2022 despite touring Europe shortly after make 2023 even more doubtful? Maybe the contract was cancelled?

Fit for me also takes into account cost and she would blow the budget without adding much.

She's nowhere near as critically acclaimed as Beyonce and doesn't write her own songs And having been around almost 20 years and stopped releasing music of late, she lacks the fresher appeal of, say, Dua Lipa,

you could be right. Would they be strong ticketsellers for a PS audience in 2023? maybe yes, but there are stronger names

[Andrej]

NIN are becoming more and more just a brilliant cult boomer act, and unfortunately demo under 35 is totally unaware of the band.
