Well they sold a lot of tickets before the lineup for solely Depeche Mode. 

No, but the assumption is that fans of Calvin Harris, Skrillex, etc. will talk all the way through everything. DM fans, in my opinion (and experience), will not. May be wrong, but they’re way more in keeping with where PS came from.

Also, what people always tend to forget is that Primavera is now in bed with Live Nation. Which changes everything. Its booked a bit differently than it was booked years ago. LN have their pool of acts, and some are shared across tons of LN owned festivals. So we will see more and more "regular" Primavera bookings, more mainstream stuff, that might not be what old school fans of the festival expect.

It doesn't look quite as strong as usual...

Thursday seems a bit week but there's still Karenn, Boris, Le Tigre, Darkside and Perfume.

Friday has Kendrick, Swans, Soft Pink Truth, Upsammy, The Mars Volta, Unwound, Alvvays, Channel Tres, Japanese Breakfast, Tzusing and Julia Holter. 

Saturday I think looks great: Laurie Anderson, Death Grips, Gilla Band, FKA Twigs, Kelela, JPEGMAFIA, Jockstrap, Crack Cloud and Avalon Amerson.

Haha. Diplo on Sunday? 

Saturday lineup has to be one of the worst for me in 10 editions. 

Rosalía, fka twigs, St Vincent, Caroline Polachek, Arlo Parks, Death Grips, John Cale, Laurie Anderson and of course DJ Coco is still not too bad 🙂

Those headline acts are a bit of a head scratcher but beyond that, it's not a million miles away from the last few years. 

The undercard is strong, even if not totally to my taste. 

I'm glad I held back buying a ticket and I don't think that's worth €325 to me, but I can see how it would be for someone else. 

Maybe if I lived locally, or had somewhere to crash (or won a ticket...) id still head along, but as it is, 2023 is a no go for me.

Yeah, need time to process. We survived Migos and Miley Curys, we will survive Halsey, Skrillex and Calvin Harris 🙂

Forget it, Migos ofc didnt show up.

I don't think the 1000 bucks I'd have to put into this are worth it for me. Most exciting Names imho are Blur, Unwound, Arthur Verocai and The Voidz. If I was there, I'd also go for Kendrick and DM but the price tag is too high for me  

Still no single festival that will even get close to this. Considering how tame every other lineup in Europe is shaping up.

Sure, but this doesnt change anything about the experience at PS and the price attached. 

Tempelhof Sounds, Best Kept Secret and the Scandinavian August Fests have nothing at all out yet, so there is no way to say that at this point

I think people are being a little unfair on Halsey, fwiw. The album she put out last year (produced by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross...) was really well received and pretty decent. I mean it's not like they booked Ellie Goulding or something.

I was not expecting to see Primavera and Capital FM Summerball sharing 2 of their headliners in 3 years
