I am hoping someone here in this thread canntalk me through fka twigs new song and video. I love the song. The video is like an out take from a noughties Ridley Scott aliens film. Quite odd and I'm not sure it's good. I saw her at the roundhouse in London around 2014, haven't seen her since. A unique artist, with some incredible songs, but maybe a touch of the frank oceans when it comes to live shows.

I don’t see Bad Bunny doing this ever, honestly. Karol G had 220k people (!) attending her concerts in Madrid this year and Bad Bunny is arguably bigger than she is. It would alienate the primavera audience and would be an absolute bloodbath for tickets.

Yeah I don't see Benito being booked at all. 2020 as originally intended yes. But not now. More likely J Balvin will be booked as he has already headlined and has a new album out now

Great list, thanks!

 

I can imagine some of them will be part of PS, others part of Sonar.

Gang of Four American Tour ends a week before the PS...

[DarthSaul]

No Spain dates on Jamie XX's rather large world tour

Either Sonar or PS 

🥳🥳

im doing both 🤘🤘

[allribena]

Now we're in October we should have the line up in less than 2 months!

And we're already 29 pages in...

[Hip Priest]

Anyone been down the Forum recently? Is it true the work done downstairs means we will never have the old Adidas stage back?

[chilirocker]

Not sure if this is legit, but would make sense

I believe it. Especially with the very specific dates for both PSs. The tour would have been planned by now, The Cure makes sense as the big retro act and it's a slightly weird (and very date specific) rumour to spread.

People will truly believe anything shared on the internet with no logic or reasoning applied to it.

My logic is that it's a credible tour/set of dates and that the detail provided (specific dates) is a weird thing to invent.

People make stuff up all the time, it's the internet.

I would love the cure there fwiw but I'm not gonna put any faith into a random twitter account. With 0 track record.

Don't see any online reports about construction, have you?

[emmanuel]

The Cure - All Points East listing does not make much sense. They played BST before so I doubt they are doing APE this time, especially as the exclusive UK festival that seems to be hinted at.

The Strokes and Massive Attack both played BST and then were booked for APE.

Neither of these sold it out tbf.

 

I could see The Cure at all points east but there'd have to be other dates in the UK, for example Scotland and Ireland. I could not see it as their sole UK date. I think they'll just do their own shows over here as it makes more sense for them to do so.

[scatteredscreens]

 

Whatever live plans there is we'll know in due course. The interview isn't out yet. This is from the cure's mailing list sent just now. Good to have it confirmed they will be active in a live capacity.

[kal77]

King Gizz tour dates...they play Barcelona 23rd to 25th May.

 

Then Greece 4th, 5th & 6th & Bulgaria 8th June. 

 

That leaves just 7th. Looking unlikely. ☹️

[LMDS]

They're completely ruled out
