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.

Haha. Yes, you are totally correct about that! Really didn't think it through! It's been a long week.

Totally correct. Really fell for that. Think I'm clutching at straws a bit because with probably less than a couple of months to poster, I really have no idea about what we can expect.

That’s why a name like Sabrina Carpenter or Olivia Rodrigo is missing and it would make a lot of difference. All they need is a “Lana del Rey” calibre name. And then they can build the lineup around that.

After discarding Kylie, and despite the debate regarding Charli three-peating, there would be other names we could think about.

Another 'Primavera regular', Rahim Redcar (formerly known as Christine and The Queens) is teasing something.

Also MARINA (and The Diamons) is coming back, and it seems she's working pretty well with youngest audiences as well (I really don't know it it is another tiktok trend or what, but people who wasn't there 10-15 years ago is listening to her a lot now).

 

In smaller font size, Magdalena Bay, Ralphie Choo, Mustafa, Heartworms and Casero (Primavera Label and new album) could be added as well to the bill.

 

The "B" side of this is that Beak and Bright Eyes definitely won't be in Barcelona this year.

I have a feeling Sabrina Carpenter might play this, honestly 

 

I'm not sure, she must be quite expensive... and I have the feeling that she has 0% appeal outside of her pop fanbase, I mean that there is not many interest in the primavera-core audience in her (not the case of Charli XCX or Lana del Rey for example). I think she would fit better in Mad Cool (they're also eager to spend a bigger budget on artists), but I can be wrong, of course

I’m just not seeing what other female names might headline this year. It feels like all the viable options have been there in recent years

obviously depends if they're active but:

Charli, Lorde, Chappell Roan, FKA Twigs, Phoebe Bridgers 

 

all seem like realistic contenders for being booked (and top line) if schedules align

Plus already mentioned Marina, and Redcar (Chris), and ofc they always have some undercard that nobody expect until being announced. Some people is also thinking about Gwen Stefani and Nelly Furtado with this y2k trend going on.

Although he played this year, I can see Ralphie Choo coming back with a new album. 
 

Other Spanish talent I’d love to see here is Judeline (she played in 2022 and was amazing, she’s releasing her debut album next month i think) and Julieta to fill their annual Catalan pop star slot.
