Franz Ferdinand with 3 shows in Spain in February,  including Barcelona. I guess we can rule them out

They're doing another small festival in Spain in April, namely SanSan Festival in Benicassim, which could also be a factor.

Gojira touring France at the end of this year. I wonder if they will come back for next year?

Oh damn you're right, I misread the date and didn't realise it was 2025. Sorry guys I give you fake news. I would love to see them again though!

Any chance of metal/ hard rock acts at primavera?

there's some as it's a festival that books a broad range but if you are exclusively looking for the majority of these acts you may be disappointed with Primavera

We can expect at least one underground metal act to play Dice Stage, like Oranssi Pazuzu, Amenra, or Wiegedood in prior years.

They need to be somewhat hip, avantgarde or "legendary" (exclude 2023), so Gojira would be fitting I guess.

We've had Slayer, Deftones, Napalm Death, Wiegedood, Amenra, Oransi Pazuzu and Zeal & Ardor so thats the range we're talking

[FKA SOSOTWS]

Ghost did play in 2023 and they aren't exactly any of the above descriptions. So you never know.

True but the 2023 lineup in general had the most acts that felt out of place. It seemed like the Madrid expansion caused them to make a few odd bookings.

Well, technically, she didn't headline previously. Unless you consider the 5th and last name of the 1st row in the days' split a headliner, something they said they did as a simbolic 'girls to the front' thing, consisting of having a bunch of women in the first line, while the rest of the days (and most of the years) have only 3 headliners.

 

Actually in the general lineup (with the names altogether) Charli is in second level

I mean, are we sure she's coming back after a year? Is she on tour?

I assume she will be hitting up loads of European festivals yes. She only played two this year

I think she can tour again next summer, but I'm not sure that she would repeat primavera.. Not saying that it's impossible but I think Mad Cool has more chances of having her. Usually Primavera anticipates to an artist's boom (sometimes too much), and then Mad Cool just bring them the next year once the popularity is bigger (and their price, higher). Lizzo and others are coming to my mind now. But having in mind that Charli XCX is almost a curator of Primavera Sound (she has been in 3 of the last 4 editions -2019,2022 and 2024- and almost everyone she have worked with, has also played in the fest, just have a look to her list of featurings) I wouldn't rule her out 100%. Actually, by the time she played in June, the album hadn't been released yet, and 'brat' wasn't such a thing (except for the few people on lime green tops we saw that day). I understand why people think she could come back... again, but if I have to bet my money, I'd say that Primavera will spend their budget on another different artist as a claim... if they can.

She played 2022 as well 

 

and did she not get one of those PS award thing?

like the national or PJ Harvey received? 
“you’re part of the PS family thing…”

[diogozsz]

Is that a guess or possible insider information?
