Primavera 2016

dublinkeith

New Order
The Cure
Lush
maybe Shellac

Anyone else with a good tip?

Toast

Is this random guessing or based on an announcement? Shellac only need to play one more time and they get a free sandwich so they'll be there for sure.

Birneybau

Bowie

Daft Punk

:rolleyes:

Sr. Pirotecnic

a few guesses:
Lush
Savages
The National
Courtney Barnett
Massive Attack

Big fan first time round but not sure I'd want the Stone Roses there.

Ticket price goes up on Wednesday so expecting a name or two soon.

Toast

Anyone know if/when the porto ticket price goes up?

Last year it was €90 until Feb if that's anything to go by

Drive Like Jehu self confirmed

Whipping Boy

Is it just me or is the announcement later this year? Maybe it was just that The Strokes were announced first thing...

You are correct, they announced a few acts before Christmas last year. Ride were also announced early last year

dublinkeith

Tis odd alright. For the last four years they've released about 3/4 names by Xmas, including headliners. Bands self confirming are thin on the ground this year as well. They've obviously made enough ticket sales already to carry them into the new year.

Whipping Boy

Strange. Will wait and see how the lineup is before deciding. First time last year and loved it but may try another foreign festival instead. Any other recommendations?

dublinkeith

I'm undecided on PS BCN for next year, thinking about giving Porto a go, heard great reports about the last one. I hear OFF is pretty good.

dublinkeith

Can't see New Order doing it now they've signed up for both BBK and Sonar. The Cure have added more US dates so they won't be there. More announcements today for BBK and NOS, PS must be the only festival that's not leaking any details!

dublinkeith

Wild Nothing and Tortoise confirmed

LCD a shoe in for this?

ghostdancer

I'd imagine so.

Depends if they do Gov Ball the same weekend, they're doing Bonnaroo so that rules out PS Porto.

they're not doing Governors Ball according to the guy at CoS who has been breaking the news.

Ouch for primavera...

MyPeopleDrankTheSoup

Lineup announced

http://m.pitchfork.com/news/63052-primavera-sound-2016-lineup-announced/

Pretty solid I think looking at governors ball. Hopefully I get a lot of the rest at EP and Glasto.

Will probably go to primavera now even though the vibe is terrible.

I actually had to check that wasn't fake. Hopefully Porto gets some of the great from that.

This is my first year going, why is the vibe terrible?

Haha me too. It's a damn good lineup.

vibe is great at it. Its a music festival solely catering for people who actually want to see the bands rather than sit in their campsite drinking or go on funfair rides

Yeah, it's great, no trouble, no p!ssheads. Good music, crowd that like good music. What's not to like?

That's what I like to hear. I'd no intention of going until the line up was released today, all booked now.

Cina

How long is it usually before tickets sell out?

We plan on going if we don't get EURO 16 tickets but we won't find out til late Feb it seems, which could be too late?

Radiohead announced for Nos Alive which probably rules out an appearance at Nos Primavera.

Extraplus

After seeing that lineup I've booked by ticket!

I've never been before. Is the venue ok to get to/from if I stay in the city? Also, I probably won't be arriving till late Thursday evening, will this cause any problems? Thanks for helping out a newbie!

Toast

Festival is easily accessible from pretty much anywhere though getting back (4am - 5am morning) you will be queuing to get into buses/metros/taxis etc so if this bothers you book a place close to the venue so you can walk. Poblenou is a good recommendation. Otherwise aim for somewhere close to the yellow metro for convenience.

Festival starts Thursday evening so if you arrive too late you will miss bands but most headliners don't come on until Midnight / 1am. Expect some biggish names from 7pm onwards. Opening party is Wednesday and might have a largish name too. Similarly watch with booking flights too early on the Sunday morning. The Festival is billed to Saturday but actually runs well into Sunday morning with high profile acts playing even at 3am / 4am that day (don't forget there is a closing party which is Sunday Evening which often will have one high profile act too!).

2k? How did it cost that much?

Wednesday night is good for getting your wristband, card, t-shirts and easing your way in. Usually finished up by 11.

Suede and Goat playing Wednesday so you'll miss them.

Yeah, that is a ridiculous figure. I only booked everything last April for the festival the following month and I'd say it cost me about €550 or thereabouts.

Anyway, first installment paid, will be my 3rd in 4 years, can't wait!

Gonna go Tuesday to Tuesday.

that's for two people, flights 300 return each from Dublin. AC hotel beside the parc for 200 a night for 5 nights prob worst. ****e hotel as well but so close it's worth it

Lads when does Porto get announced? A lot of bands i wanna see have dates planned in Ireland already eg Explosions, moderat, battles etc.
Now LCD not counting mychickens will hopefully show up in Ireland and possibly Radiohead .

My train of thought is doing away with the Barca idea, but between the Porto Version (who will have Air but not Radiohead ) and Irish gigs nearly all the boxes would be ticked , then doing it all in one go at Barca. Plus porto is a good €90 cheaper, plus i could hang around for longer and go for a surf.

I'll bet any money that LCD will play EP and then have their own Winter show announced to promote the album.

I cant wait for it, Third year in a row & keeps getting better each time

SteelyDanJalapeno

Sold out

dublinkeith

****, was not expecting that. I didn't get one in time. If anyone has a ticket and needs a hotel let me know cos I prepaid for 4 nights at the Atenea Mar!

You can still get a day ticket for all 3 days

davidgrace

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - seems like an obvious one to me

OhHiMark

What are the odds that they'll release more tickets?

Looks like they selling tickets for €80, which I assume aren't full tickets.

Sr. Pirotecnic

There won't be any more week(end) tickets but you can still buy day tickets for Thurs/Fri/Sat for €80 (€5).

They did give a few warnings in the last week that tickets were about to sell out.
