I think lineup is good as always. However this doesn’t change the fact that it’s the worst lineup of the last editions together with 2019. 
main problem to me are the cheap re bookings that are far from being bonuses, i.e. the national. If the smile are not on this they will problably be touring us at the time. 
I agree it looks like 2019/2020 in terms of budget. Double primavera problably allowed them far more power 

The National shouldn’t be on this lineup, and I say that being a very big fan of them. Plus there are others things that are repeated. It’s just hard for me to look for 2018 lineup, 2020 and 2021 cancelled lineups, 2022, and then this and say “wow it’s on the same level”. Because it’s not, it feels like a different festival, and don’t take me wrong, I might end up going there and enjoying it but one can still admit that it’s not their best lineup. I want to see how the tickets sales are going to go. I think they are betting a lot of Lana and SZA but I don’t think it will sell that well.

Any recommendations on the electronic side outside of Justice and Disclosure? Was hoping for Chems and Floating Points but alas

Sofia Kourtesis - one of the best albums of the year
Herrensauna have the best parties in Berlin and throughout Europe
TraxTraxTrax will be good - Nick León is a great DJ
DJ Fart In The Club - despite the name is a Berlin staple
Barry Can't Swim - nice and melodic beats
Mica Levi DJ stuff is a bit harder but still good for a dance
Tirzah is a bit more downbeat, but her new album is great

For festivals, they might do solo gigs

Yeah true. Still a decent booking to get them when no other festival does as there’s plenty of June festivals that you’d think would take them.

When a Fire Starts to Burn. With the parallel programme of Primavera a la Ciutat soon to be announced, which will once again involve several venues in Barcelona in keeping with the traditional urban character of the festival, the welcome day of Wednesday 29th May is already marked on the calendar as the first contact with the Parc del Fòrum. Another treat for fans, literally: a day of free concerts led by the unfailing Phoenix, the veni, vidi, vici made pop band. The French band, the ideal mix of partying and sophistication for such a day, will be joined by Tropical f**k Storm, Ratboys, Maria Jaume and Stella Maris (in the first of their two performances at Primavera Sound 2024) to complete an official opening of the festival that is always special.

Phoenix for Wednesday, I guess Pulp for Thursday, SZA for Friday and Lana for Saturday?

I really feel that they will add another big name to the lineup later on, no way this lineup is finished. Lana and SZA are that expensive? Plus not sure about the ticket sales, that might also do a trick. Or maybe they just want to recover some money lost after Madrid.

I think we’ll get:

Thursday: Pulp-PJ Harvey-The National
Friday: SZA-FKA Twigs-Disclosure
Saturday: Lana-Mitski-Vampire Weekend-Justice

Jesus, I didn't realise Phoenix was on the Wednesday. That dilutes it even more.

yip. For those who only went to weekend 1 in '22 and can only go the main days of the fest this year, its a bit of a kick in the knee caps

Really, what a shame, I guess that means they'll play porto too which is grand, was hoping for them at bbk

May go to porto.

Maybe for international visitors but it seems a bit harsh to deny Barcelona fans a show of the band on this tour.

[allribena]

Recommendations from the bottom half of the line up?

There's only a handful of names I recognise - I'm checking out Obongjayar, who has a track with Little Simz, really enjoying it so far!

Not only they come to Primavera 2 years after being there, they also go to Spain and Portugal every time they do Euro Tours. 3 times in the last 3 years. Idk if it was a super stacked lineup I would understand having someone like The National, but otherwise for me doesn’t make sense.

I seen them in the Wizink Arena in Madrid in October, having seen the Arctic Monkeys in the same venue in July also. 

The Arctic Monkeys was sold out, but the National had curtained off areas and lots of empty seats.

I recently discovered Model/Actriz, really good band. Also like Arab Strap, Tropical f**k Storm, The Last Dinner Party, Voxtrot and Brutus.

Been to all editions since 2010, was a bit unsure this time due to inflation and alternatives, unfortunately the lineup release did not make it for me. Hope to be back for Primavera '25, have a great festival everyone!
