New Tyler song is a banger

[Whos3000_]

I mean worst case scenario not in terms of what I would not like to see (I would definitely be there for Tyler and Fka) but rather in terms of what we can safely expect based on evidence. We usually tend to overpredict and we are eventually disappointed. For instance, I would be careful with NIN. That’s exactly the pattern for every headliner we tried to throw in the past years without real evidence for them to be there. I think the lesson is that if we are not sure they will be there, they won’t.

Given the rumblings of NIN within Europe it's not beyond the realm of possibility they are booked. We're not speculating about Talking Heads, Frank Ocean or a Nick Drake hologram.

 

Not sure what people expect from a forum of discussion regarding a festival, we're always going to float names and some of them obviously won't happen.

Nah, there have been tonnes of accurate predictions.

[Fabrizzo]

Besides the predictions, what would be your favorite big surprise? I keep hoping for Portishead

I know. I am just trying to layout how the lineup would be if we assumed big surprises such as NIN were not likely and we would need to stick to what we know. Given that it’s not enough to sell a line up, I would instead assume that some suprises are coming

would have to be something like Refused/TVOTR/Mount Eerie for me in terms of realistic names.

Nice, I would gladly take some names but last year zero names from this festival

[Whos3000_]

does the fact that this is from golden voice make these names more likely for coachella and somehow less likely for primavera?

Twigs back touring next year at Axe Ceremonia.

 

Tyler and massive attack also on the line up.

 

As are KLO, Nathy Peluso, Magda Bay, the dare

Dont see it happening, but for me also Portishead. Or The Smile, as I was looking forward to their Way Out West show so much...

 

FKA Twigs and Anohni would already make me excited. With the risk of huge disappointment as I'm already more or less counting on them based on the gossip here.... 

 

Cant wait for the poster!

The full version of Tyler's new single got released (the video is just half the song) and it's so good.

How will Massive Attack make it to Mexico CO2 neutral?

Unlike Barry, maybe they can swim

Lets hope there isn't a Massive Shark Attack

 

Massive Attack on tour is at least interesting, I wouldn't book them again after what went down apparently, but depending on availability, maybe they have to

Massive Attack in Bristol was one of the best shows I've seen all year, would love them at Primavera

We have to understand if Gabi Ruiz was angry last year because they had given the exclusive date to BBK despite having to make up for a show in Barcelona or something worse...

Yes I know.

 

Stranger things have happened though and we can't discount them as a potential name.

I really wish there was a way to have Joni Mitchell with the band she just played with at Hollywood Bowl, that would be a dream come true and the most amazing thing ever 😪

[ibo]

I love massive attack. 
saw them many times and every show was always STUNNING. 

it would be great to see them at PS

but after they played BBK last year Gabi might feel like we’re getting leftovers. 
they’ve already been out now. Did a few gigs. 
it’s always nicer when they haven’t toured for so long and the 1st gig is PS. 
 

[Quadrophobia]

Iggy Pop at Nova Rock, so between Bearded Theory and that, he'd nicely fit at PS

[chilirocker]

Maybe for the Jessie Ware slot for 2025?
