Primavera Sound 08

sweetie

29 - 31 May. Portishead, Okkervill river, Mission of Burma confirmed.
Tickets currently 95 euro. Planning on going for my stag weekend altho my wedding is the following saturday . Loved it last year. Highlights: Band of horses, modest mouse, justice, Wilco, Sonic youth, the fall. Hopefully clickair will have the cheap 60 euro flights again and I can get the same apartments.

Have my ticket. Kinda hoping theres a good bit of crossover with the ATP gigs again. Broken Social Scene is playing there a week before Primavera and theyd make an excellent addition.

Strangely loads of the apartements we got last year are already gone (or not listed). Im hoping they're just not being listed yet rather than theyve been booked already. I used www.rent4days.com last time. Anyone recommendations for other places?

We booked our apartment through these guys.

Yeah last year was the best festival experience I've ever had so booked everything for this as soon as it was announced. There are serious Nick Cave and Breeders rumours which are actually possible since they both have albums out in the next few months.

Cant recommend this festival enough,
Had a blast there last year and will probably end up there again this year!

we stayed in sun and moon hostel off la rambalas - really close to jaume station so it was really handy for getting to the forum. was a total sh*t hole and we woke up one morning to see one of the hostel workers in our room watching us sleep... but it was cheap as chips and a pretty handy location!

What a great lineup of late 80's/early 90's alternative rock. Dinosaur Jr, Buffalo Tom, Polvo, Bob Mould, Sebadoh. I'll have to make do with Buffalo Tom this Friday in Dublin.

I regret not going to this festival this year, last year was a blast. Shame clickair pulled the Dublin-Barcelona route; was really cheap when I used them last year, though apperantly it has since been reinstated on a "seasonal" basis.

Anyway, next year I'll prolly book flights way way early. The lineup is typically top stuff, and even if it's not heck, a weekend in Barca ain't too shabby.

I've missed out on Primavera for this year. Had a great time at the last one, met a serious amount of Irish people (nutters!)
