Bright Eyes have a new album out since Friday (and it’s brilliant again) and they‘re only playing a handful of European dates in November, far away from Spain tho. I really hope they return to Primavera..

 

(although I have to admit that wish feels kind of selfish, as it is also based on the fear that that state he‘s in will not be sustainable for very long anymore 😞 )

Bright Eyes just cancelled all remainig tourdates in 2024. They hope to be back on the road next year.

My friends dad goes to spin class with Mystic Meg, and she said that the line up will be this

Keep going back to this. It is beginning to look far too feasible and far too balanced for fan's wishlist fake poster. Any chance that it is a Primavera, 'hiding in plain sight', plant to test  reaction to certain names? Hasn't that happened before? I certainly could see a lot of these names on the poster.

Really don't think so, but just in case I'm wrong: I'd be very happy to see Anohni, Nine Inch Nails, GYBE, Heartworms, Protomartyr, Goat, FKA Twigs, Bon Iver.

 

More likely, whoever prepared this list is laughing out loud at a bunch of nerds including me who take this seriously...

Yeah, the main way these days they decide upon the poster for their 15million budget festival is to assess the comments of a couple of people on an overseas fan forum.

Don´t get me wrong, it's a well curated ps-friendly whislist and I would happily see 20+ of those names, but it would be a little weak headliner wise. They would not get a decent attendance with that. Even in a globaly very "weak" year tourwise like 2024, they got some bigger acts that helped with the sales.

 

I'm all in favour of having down-to-earth expectations and not asking for unreal lineups, but there should be a middle ground between asking for impossibles and settling for less than the average. At the end of the day we are talking about a 30 million festival whose bosses have stated they aim to keep being a world top5-ish.
