Primavera Sound 2025

[katyaz]

I have to say the lineup has really grown on me. They've definitely strengthened the dance/electronic side of things which was lacking this year

 

Don't get me wrong I'd like to have seen a couple more indie leaning bands and hip hop artists, but the vibe for next year will just be different and that's not a bad thing

Basement Jaxx are back at long last.

C’mon, fine a way to shoehorn them in!

Oh man, I've been pretty optimistic about the lineup since it came out but seeing these day splits just makes seem so... sparse (for my tastes, at least).

 

On the Thursday especially, I know that I don't like Charli or Idles or Parcels or Brutalismus or Beabadoobee or The Dare. Across the whole day there's only Spiritualized and Twigs that I'm actually into, whilst I'll admit that CMAT and Jamie XX will be fun on the night and put on a good show. Friday and Saturday are still pretty empty for me, but there's at least a lot of acts I've been meaning to check out.

 

Not meaning to moan because obviously it's all subjective - but if anybody has any recommendations as to who I'm overlooking or where to start on any particuar artists, I'd really appreciate the help!

For reference, my favourite acts on the wider line-up are Beach House, LCD, Spiritualized, BCNR, Cat Power & Anhoni and the Johnsons.

 

Thanks.

 

 

 

I had a very similar reaction from looking at the day splits poster.  PS has pulled off a real coup with the 3 big headliners (esp Carpenter and Roan), but it's also come at a fairly obvious cost.  2014 is perhaps the last time I saw a PS day splits poster and thought it was objectively coming up short of the standard expected.  It's hard to take the listing of Twigs seriously, which weakens Thursday even more.

PS has also crowned acts as headliners before (like Solange in 2019), so anointing twigs as one is not out of the ordinary.

I suspect the point was more that she has cancelled two years running i.e. is flakey as hell.
