Damn straight!

See that San Miguel is the new sponsor this year... tad better than Estrella Damm.

Checked out flights there, think I'll book my return trip soon as they tend to go up in price faster than the mid-week flights.

Budgeting the whole thing, easily doable for €500 or less. All really depends on the amount of drinking as the alcohol on the festival site is quite pricey.

The pixies are the second band confirmed for next years primavera, nice:)

honru

That's awesome, I gave Pixies a break after seeing them a fair few times when they reformed but I'm sure they'll go down a treat outdoors in Barcelona.

Pavement and Pixies, wow.

honru

Booked flights earlier, going on the Wednesday, returning Monday.

Doing the same days, great prices with aer lingus at the moment. Judging by who made it through to the last round of voting, the line up will be pretty good

shampoosuicide

The word on the grapevine is that Panda Bear and Ganglians will be confirmed very soon. !!

Also, just might as well say now - I'm more than likely going to the festival solo, so if any fellow music fanatic wants to meet up and get some accomodation, get in touch...early days yet anyway

shampoosuicide

I'm probably not going next year, went in 07 and 09, it's time for a change. Will probably hit Sonar though, so not that much of a change really! Primavera's a great festival though, you'll have an awesome time

agreed. the line-up looks a lot more eclectic, last year there was a lot of bands ploughing a similar, noisy, feedback-drenched furrow...but the range of styles on offer for next year looks great. also, bear in mind they're still doing that 10th year anniversary vote so there will almost certainly be more heavy-hitters announced. i cannot wait

sweetie

So I bought my ticket using the only option available to me, paypal, (ticketmaster wouldn't take my passport details) last monday and have yet to receive any ticket details. Anyone do the same?

havent received anything yet either.
bought through paypal.

sweetie

I did and then emailed them and still nothing back from them.
It is quite perturbing, to be honest.

L.T.D

Can't wait for this

Ticket prices go up by €30 on January 1st, should be some more bands announced soon enough

Toast

That's a massive jump. In the past it has been a 10 euro incremental rise every couple of months. Glad I got my tickets in already but now to convince others to sort themselves out in the next day

honru

Wow yeah, that's quite a hike. I think tickets were kept at the early bird price until the middle of January for last year and already it has gone up quite a bit. Then again, they have announced more acts earlier this time.

Brian S

Hey, does anyone have a link for decent accommodation reasonably close to the venue? Hostels or apartments. Cheers!

indiewindy

More bands added today

The Big pink
shellac
no age
f*ck buttons
spoon
polvo

Tickets up by another €10 on the 15th, bands above probably all for ATP stage

hannable80

Any one been too this festival, i am planning to go just wanted to know if its in one central spot like oxygen also i cant make sense if i have to queue for tickets there for one stage on the day.....

HELP!!!!!

honru

The festival is held in an enclosed area in the Parc del Forum, if that's what you were asking. You will have to leave the grounds to enter one of the stages, the Auditori hall. It's just to the right outside the main entrance. There's also a range of side events which take place in various venues around the city during the week of the festival.

I dunno what you mean by your next query.

hannable80

whats the story with that stage are the larger bands on that one?
Where is best to get tickets does the one ticket do for all the areas... Whats the vibe like is it messy or more like the picnic?

It's a proper auditorium. It has bands playing only on two of the days and it opens and closes much earlier than the other stages, like between 3pm and 10pm or something. It generally caters for more mellow acoustic-type music, classical, jazz, etc.

It does get big acts, both Portishead and My Bloody Valentine have played in there, as well as playing a "main" set on one of the outdoor stages, in previous years.

hannable wrote:

I found Paypal to be the easiest. On arrival you pick up your tickets at the festival entrance. Check out the official site for all that info.

One full festival ticket does all the areas, though some of the performances by the larger bands at the aforementioned Auditori require that you prebook a seat. This costs something like €2 a ticket.

hannable wrote:

Definitely more like EP (if we're comparing it to either that or Oxegen).

Since there's no camping, I found it a good bit more mellow than either of those festivals.

flights are booked class cant wait

Newly announced acts:

Grizzly Bear
Built to Spill
Tortoise
Condo Fucks
Seefeel
Beak>
Major Lazer
Monotonix
Ben Frost
Mujeres
Apse
Thee Oh Sees
Black Math Horseman
Sian Alice Group
Fake Blood

Have wanted to see Grizzly Bear (only saw about 10 minutes of them at Pukkelpop). Besides Built to Spill, Tortoise, Apse, and Fake Blood, haven't heard music by the others. What's the story with Condo Fucks, are they basically Yo La Tengo under a different alias?

Pretty much. Exact same line up. Just a bit punkier, I think. I wonder is there any chance of them playing a Yo La Tengo set as well?

shampoosuicide

40 acts to be announced on Wednesday. which should be more or less the full line-up. cannot wait

honru

I heard Faith No More were rumoured to play, has some merit as they didn't play Spain on their reunion tour last year. Would be an awesome addition.

Think there are 5-7 more still to be announced...some great additions today though...

honru

There are still more acts to be announced, though that's the main bulk confirmed. I remember last year Neil Young was added after the main announcement even though he was the headliner.

Line up looking very nice, will have to begin checking out some of the unfamiliar acts soon.

EDIT: Jane's Addiction appear on one of the posters for the event, might be a later addition.

X-Calibre

That line up is actually incredible..

I now have to go and make some phone calls and see will anyone go with me

shampoosuicide

more bands announced on Friday. no headliners though.

day-by-day breakdown, not all bands are on this yet: http://www.primaverasound.com/ps.php?seccion=cartel&sub=dias&idioma=en

Tickets bought. Can't wait!

I've never been to Primavera and am thinking of joining some friends who are going this year but they've already booked accomodation. Can anyone suggest somewhere good for attending the festival?

The best suggestion might persuade me to book tickets.

Also - does anyone know how strict they are with cameras? I was at Benicassim a few years ago and loads of people had prof cameras and no issues, I figure the Spanish are more relaxed - is it the same at Primavera?

Toast

Heard mixed reports from cameras. Some people get them in.. some are made put them in the cloakroom. I think it really depends on how big the bag is.

I've always stayed in an apartment with friends so can't really advise on the accommodation. Possibly see if anyone is looking for someone to make up numbers for an apartment. EP forum, Primavera sound forum and the Drowned in Sound forum would be possible places to ask?

honru

Doesn't look like there will be any more acts to be added, all the slots look like they've been filled, after comparing the amount with last year's lineup (think the Saturday last year had less acts with Neil Young playing). Also the breakdown of the ATP stage by day, order and times are usually announced early-to-mid May:

Thursday
Apse
The Books
Circulatory System
Seefeel
Tortoise
Ui

Friday
Beak>
Beach House
Black Math Horsemen
Scout Niblett
Shellac

Saturday
Built to Spill
Ben Frost
Liquid Liquid
Polvo
The Psychic Paramount
Rother/Shelley/Mullan
Sian Alice Group

You should check out this place, it's where I'm staying, seems pretty good, quite cheap as well, just nothing too fancy!

(it's in English btw )

Mickolution

Anyone know if Pixies are doing a regular set at Primavera, or one of the Doolittle ones? According to Setlist.fm, they've been doing Doolittle ones as recently as the end of March, but the Primavera line-up doesn't it.

Is that a leak from the organisers? Looks somewhat legit.

Miguel_Sanchez

For anyone that's going - check out Irish band So Cow on the Adidas Originals Stage.

They're great live.
