Sonar dropped the first names too 

nice names for me 

can’t wait to party and dance 2 weekends in a row!

Same here, very interesting names and its only the 50-60% of the full lineup. At least for me Sónar won this year in terms of price-quality ratio combined with my own taste... If you're into leftfield music and electronics Sónar is definitely a better choice considering that Primavera's price is double

Each to their own but Coachella looking better than Prima even with Post Malone and Travis lurking around looking smelly 

Expand  

The cost of attending Coachella is about double. And for me the lineups are at best equivalent. Recent years have reeked, this is definitely a bit better but still nowhere near as good as they used to be back in the day.

 

And not even sure if can compare PS with Sonar really. Sonar is dramatically narrower in focus.

the key point I take from Coachella is how weak the headliners are. 

everyone is disappointed of PS's headliners (me too), but it seems that Primavera is getting all the heat simply because it's the first to announce, and it is just going to be weak year all around at that front

Expand  

absolutely.

 

keep saying it but it doesn't look like a vintage year for festival acts

PS 2024 was excellent, but plenty of other fests had weak lineups. 

Expand  

Yeah I'd agree.

 

Primavera is still the top for curation. Other fests will get bigger names but for the richness of the undercard primavera will always win. I truly believe there won't be a festival with a better undercard next year, maybe glastonbury but that's it for big festivals that you can fairly compare to primavera.

Yeah, totally agree.

 

And the trouble with the seemingly impressive undercard at Glastonbury is that the stages are massive distances apart so you can't realistically see who you want to see. And if it's muddy even more so!

bit of an over exaggerated issue, bar a couple distances between stages it's not a problem at all

Ps24 was very high level both in terms of undercard and headliners. LDR was not good but all the headliners (her included) made sense. This year is the first to really disappoint me and that’s mainly due to the charli repeat. It feels like a scam. Even Sabrina carpenter makes more sense than having charli xcx headlining 2 years in a row with the same show. And I am a fan

Just watch some other acts when the headliner is on, it isn't that deep

Been going for years and as long as you know what you're doing with some sets it's absolutely fine.

Expand  

Park to Shangri La is literally 35 minutes for example. No walk between stages at Primavera takes that long and there are fewer bottlenecks.

 

I don’t think it’s controversial to say 210,000 capacity Glastonbury is a significantly bigger site!

Distance between Glastonbury stages is a huge Thing.  Inaccurate to pretend it's not.  I run marathons and I found it tough.  Can take 20 - 30 mins to switch between a lot of the main stages.  In saying this, getting around the stages at Primavera 2022 was nowhere near as simple as in the past!

You clearly lack reading comprehension.

 

I wasn't saying glastonbury was small in size, or that there aren't gaps between stages. I'm saying as a criticism that you don't get to see loads of acts because of the size, is quite simply nonsense. There are some stages where back to back sets might leave with you with a bit of bother but most of the time it isn't a concern. 

 

Park to Shangri La isn't really THAT common unless you see a park headliner.

You wrote and I quote “bar a couple of stages, the distance is not a problem at all”

 

Of course much bigger distances inhibits getting around and seeing the acts you want to.

 

You seem to see it as some sort of criticism of Glastonbury and a slight. It’s not, I think Glastonbury is amazing - it’s just an observation.

Agreed, also because walking bigger distances wears on you and can thus make you too tired to see many more additional sets.

I personally felt the walk from Mordor to Bits in 2022 felt much longer and more draining than Park to Shangri-La.

 

Also there would never really much reason to walk from Park to SEC given the SEC doesn't really come alive until Park has closed.

Expand  

But there isn't Bits these days. I'm comparing 70,000 cap Primavera with 210,000 cap Glastonbury in 2024.

Aye, I've started missing sets in recent years because of this. Going from The Park to Woodsies, for example, isn't viable for me anymore unless I want to see someone on The Pyramid after. The heat hasn't helped tbf 😅.

James Blake playing Northside same weekend as Primavera.

I wonder why he hasn't come back since 2019, he used to be a regular being at the festival in 2011, 2013, 2015 and 2019.

He also played two times at Sonar between 2011 and 2019. Feels strange that he never returned to either, although playing shows in europe every year 2022-2025.
