Primavera Sound 2025

[livenstu]

Let's not forget that the social threads were requesting the likes of Chappell Roan & Sabrina Carpenter the day after Primavera came to an end this year.  If you look at the comments on the Stereogum site they are very positive, and echoing what other people have said here, I think we'll appreciate how deep this line up goes when compared with other festivals throughout next year.  The headliners might mirror something like Coachella, but their undercard would never be this creative or diverse

Someone on Reddit asked ChatGPT to describe every act on the lineup and it’s extremely useful if you’re looking to delve deeper: https://www.reddit.com/r/primaverasound/s/gmxsRTmd10

Nice, despite a few misses (like competitive man instead of confidence...)

After browsing through the lineup I would rate this year slightly stronger than last year but a bit weaker than 2023. 

 

Must sees: Chat Pile, Beach House, TV on the Radio, Cap'n Jazz, Turnstile, Carolina Durante, Julie, Spiritualized, Stereolab

 

Delighted to see on the lineup: Gouge Away, LCD Soundsystem, Been Stellar, Heal, Idles, Fontaines DC, The Jesus Lizard, High Vis, Feeble Little Horse, Christian Lee Hutson, Waxahatchee, MJ Lenderman, Los Campesinos!, Still House Plants, Nourished by Time, Dehd, This is Lorelei, Sturgill Simpson, Destroyer, Yawners, Alan Sparhawk, Kim Deal and Cmat.

 

That's about 30 names I would love to see and then there's a bunch of other decent ones good enough to pass time. 

 

Agree with a previous poster hoping they add Deafheaven for Ciutat!

Doesn't it show the difference in tastes though, not badly by the way. You've got 30 names and only 1 is what I would see. I think this is weaker than 2024 but has maybe stronger names that I'd like this year. 2023 was by ar my strongest year...Madrid edition especially with about 9/10 acts and that never happens.

Stereogum isn't what it used to be; what their commenters like shouldn't really be of concern. But I concur there's definitely an audience for the three headliners. Whether that is at the expense of the rest of the festival experience is TBD. I do also agree though that there's plenty of deep stuff on this lineup.

Is it overly generous to say that, given how much pretty much the cost of everything (artists' fees, logistics, etc) has rocketed since Covid-times and yet the ticket prices are more or less still the same - Primavera booking the likes of Sabrina and Chappell Roan (and to an extent Lana last year) ensures that their ticket sales, particuarly day tickets from a new demographic, cover the cost of what is still the one of the strongest undercard line-ups on the globe year after year? 

 

I've no insider knowledge whatsoever, but if it did end up being the case that hosting 2 or 3 hours of nothing-y pop music serves to safeguard countless hours of other acts over the rest of the weekend.... I'd take that deal all day long.

 

That could very well be the case; obviously this move was about pure commerce, regardless of how the fest is trying to spin it by referring to the headliners as the most * important * acts in music. But it does come at a tradeoff of not having bigger alternative acts, and that is something we generally hope for and expect when buying earlybird tickets.
