I hope the organisers will not broaden the scope further. I mean: What's beyond Calvin Harris and Maneskin? Do we really wanna know that?

 

There are other options for a broader line up w/o booking bland Top40 Acts. There is nothing wrong in going into the better realms of pop-punk with the likes of paramore.

Paramores last two LPs would go down well with a lot of PS attendees tbf

Very surprised people are that against Paramore at Primavera. After the festival had Dua Lipa, Calvin Harris and Maneskin.

Is VIP for Barcelona worthwhile? I had it for the Madrid fest this year and didn't really feel much benefit aside from it being easier to get Ciudad reservations, is the Barca experience notably better? 

Priority access to the gigs was the only real benefit at BCN as well. And the only gig that seemed semi hard to get was Darkside, which even that I think regular ticket holders could get with a bit of effort. The VIP areas the last two years have been more about a comfortable place to grab a drink before the fest really gets going.. once it gets busy they are jam packed and uncomfortable unless you camped at a chair or something. You’re not just gonna walk up at 11pm and find a comfy chair and table to rest at. Drinks are $1 cheaper but you couldn’t use AT credit and they generally had longer lines. Bathroom lines in VIP are worse than GA. They might be a little cleaner if you have to sit

Seems like only one person against, no? Every forum has a balance of views...

That's kind of what I was expecting, my main worry though is if they have an incredible Ciutat gig and I miss out if I'm only in general admission. Which is important but for double the price? I don't know 

I've got 6 hours to decide I guess

Hey all -- Does any 2023 ticket holder, not wanting presale, have some codes I can use for myself and a friend?! 

Missed it too much after going in '22 and need that discount action xx 

Feel free to PM me !

I love Paramore's last two LPs and would totally go see them if they headlined, they would be a much better booking than Calvin/Maneskin

Come on guys, obviously Paramore are a good band and better than Calvin Harris, I just expressed my doubts that they are potential headliners, peace

Paramore are ace. 

Maybe, but they feel more like a Mad Cool affair instead of Primavera.

I would agree generally but the primavera date fits in their TS support dates far better than Mad Cool. And they're already playing Madrid as part of that.

[Ferda]

As Dua and Megan Thee Stallion played Prima, I reckon Paramore can do just fine 😉

I doubt they will be there but I would love it. Their evolution throughout the years is remarkable and Hayley solo is afaik 100% Prima material, their last 3 albums are not so far away from that

[softbrat]

Pls pls have

Fka twigs, Phoebe bridgers, Olivia rodrigo, Dijon, Wet, Oklou, Umru, Boygenius

[matrainertje]

Is a return of Nick Cave too early? I would guess so, but he's working on a new album with the Bad Seeds and will probably be releasing it before spring next year. 

Maybe Mad Cool (or BBK) will have him for once as one of their headliners.

Right.. I figure the one time I don't get VIP they'll have some incredible act like Pulp at the Apolo or something and Ill get locked out. I come from the US and I figure after all the expense and hassle of getting to BCN, what's another $200 to ensure the best experience.  But objectively - has VIP been worth it the past two years? No..

I think if they're touring, PS will book them (as they should). I personally think they're probable for next year, but we'll see when the album comes out and if there is a summer tour.

i hope we have Anohni and the Johnsons

Don't think the bad seeds album will be done before spring next year. Probably a safer name for 2025

Anyone reckon The Walkmen will play?

Will have to see their plans. Think they said in an interview recently they were unsure on the status of the band beyond 2023.

They've got a date in Mexico in April next year, so could see them do Coachella and some early summer festivals in Europe.
