Primavera Sound 2015 Lineup – Our ultimate wish list

admin — Fri, 01 Aug 2014 23:23:57 +0000

Yes – I know it’s quite early, but if you’re a die-hard fan like me, you probably can’t wait already for May 2015 hopefully to find your music haven. But as far as I know – the festival promoters usually close most of the lineup before August (almost 10 months before the event takes places in Barcelona) so hopefully the festival promoters will still have time to get a few ideas, free of charge.

Disclaimer – this is a personal list but I would love to hear – what is your personal wish list? What have I’ve missed in here?

Primavera Sound to unveil its next headliner on Monday

admin — Sat, 30 Nov 2013 15:57:15 +0000

Surprising news for the weekend – Gabi Ruiz, Primavera Sound co-director had an exciting announcement on his Twitter account:

For those who don’t speak Spanish or don’t have an easy access to Google Translate – as the headline suggests, the next headliner for the 2014 edition will be announced on next Monday on the Primavera Sound Touring Party reality show.

At the moment we have two main speculations based on previous rumors:

1. Nine Inch Nails – the most likely option. They have never been to Primavera Sound festival, they are big enough to fit the headliner slot and at the top of it – The Primavera Sound Touring Party last video contains a huge hint regarding the band.

2. The Pixies – The Pixies just had been confirmed to Field Day Festival in London, which makes it very likely to see them in Primavera as well (every year about 1/3 of Field day lineup shares the same artists as Primavera Sound).

The odds we’ll see The Pixies in Barcelona is high, the only question to be asked is if as a headliner or not. First, The Pixies had already headlined Primavera sound back in 2010. Second, Kim Deal just left the band a few month ago, which means this is not their finest hour. Having said that, we would really like to see The Pixies on the next edition’s bill, with Kim or without Kim.

Primavera Sound 2014 rumors are on the rise

admin — Fri, 22 Nov 2013 19:36:59 +0000

European festival season is more than six months away, still many rumors are on the rise and first lineup announcements are starting to spread.
Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona is probably on the best music festival in Europe for indie music fans – up to this moment we know about 2 headliners for the 2014 edition – Neutral Milk Hotel (the reunited legendry band which already had been announced on the last day of Primavera Sound 2013) and of course the probably most important band in the world nowadays – Arcade Fire.

So far so good – that’s the old news.

Which names are already confirmed or rumored?

Dr. John – was confirmed by the Primavera Sound forum.
The Pixies – are followed on twitter by Gabi Ruiz, Primavera Sound co-director.
The Apples in Stereo – are followed on twitter by the official Primavera sound twitter account.
Nine Inch Nails – have a perfect gap on their European tour, just in time to return to Barcelona.

an update – the organization announced on its website that the next artist confirmation would be seen in one of the chapters of ‘The reality’, a collection of videos that summarize the PS Touring Party that’s taking place these days. Without going any further, at one point of the fourth chapter the word NIN appears as the name of one of the backline technicians.

The Crocodiles –They canceled their last Barcelona show in Barcelona and published the following statement: “Hi, sorry the tour is still being booked and a few dates got switched around. Trying to find out now what the deal is. The show might have been cancelled because we are playing a festival around then in Barcelona”
Outkast – certainly nothing official, but their reunion announcement is holding a good option for a European tour and Primavera Sound is the perfect spot (last year they hosted the reunion of The Wu-Tan Clan)
