Not really, since New Order got added months later for 2023.

 

 

 

I didn't go last year, so wasn't following, but did anyone know why New Order were added late? Poor ticket sales, a provisional booking that they couldn't confirm, or something else?

New Order were confirmed on March 7, 2023 (the 40th anniversary of Blue Monday).

pure phase in full outside on a big stage would be horrible. people would just be talking.

 

Auditori is absolutely perfect for them, I hope they play it.

Agree About people chatting,

but i hope they won’t do Auditori because i can imagine a certain clash with another “must see“ gig. Hope they put them on former rayban stage at 3:00am, lol

There'll always be a clash with someone. 

 

Given there's not too many other obvious Auditori acts i can only assume they'll be in there

I don't disagree about people talking, but there's a lot of noise on that album, and even the "delicate" songs don't have to be theatre quiet.

 

There's plenty of 'noise' going on under those quiet songs, that would be able to fill the air with sound, and you'd hope that after a forty year career, they'd know how to project their sound.

 

I saw Massive Attack for the first time this year. I know they've got a reputation for wanting perfect sound, but I was surprised at just how loud it was. Even on songs that rely on "quiet passages" for their impact, they dominated any crowd noise.

saw spiritualized earlier this year and can confirm the loud bits were exceptionally loud

Problem is that the outdoor stages that don't face the sea have sound ordinances.

With Spiritualized, I don't think the issue would be about making the noisier songs noisy - it's just whether the quieter ones are loud enough to avoid people being able to have an easy conversation.

Right, and with the reduced volume at some of the stages, yappers will be an even bigger nuisance for all the quieter songs.
