-New stage (for now called Chiringuito) in the same sand on the beach, djs, rock groups, pop, you can eat and bathe. -Do not come Pearl Jam (just in case someone doubted it), or Jane's Addiction -No Pavement, maybe next year. -Not either Roni Size (the live he does now is a tease anyway). -My Bloody Valentine does not release disc, it's Kevin alone. -Ni Fugazi or the Galaxy 500 looks like they're going to play again. -Compare the sign with a locomotive, with a lot of muscle, compact. - There will be metal, the same number of groups as always. -The National almost confirmed. - Maybe Lorde? Mura Masa? -They know names: would you like Mica Levi, John Zorn (seems difficult), Bombay Royale? -Ark? He has never been and they like it. -No Iron Maiden or Metallica because it's hard to set the stage. -Gary Numan already came. Scott Walker impossible, the Chromatics do not play because they have moved with the seal. -The Cars do not touch, the NIN have already been, like the Horros, Badalamenti complicated. -The Cocteau Twins seems impossible. For now there is no group that plays an entire album. -Repeat Primavera Club bands. -It seems that the Artic Monkeys do not. -Robert Wyatt would like it. -A pair would like NOFX. -Morrissey one year of these falls. -Cartel very advanced but they have many things to confirm with the groups. The announcement of the poster is being recorded this weekend. Possibly before Christmas is the poster. -Gabi says that the poster is milk, that there are many bands spinning and that it will be successful. -They try to fix the floor of Mordor. -With the Chiringuito the festival will grow in size a little. -Other facebook live in month and little with the poster.
A few things more: -Gabi said he's going with his daughter to see Kendrick in his tour stop in Paris. (Take that as you will). -They said they knew nothing about Arctic Monkeys at this point and that the band is keeping everything under wraps about their album and future live shows. They have a good relationship with Alex Turner and his people as he has played the festival before with The Last Shadow Puppets. They would love to have them but at this moment in their career Arctic Monkeys can basically choose where and when they want to play so who knows. -They already have the programme more or less done but are waiting to finish some scheduling details like the days each band is playing and all that. They mentioned late november, early december as the window for the announcement. They are taping the announcement video this weekend. -They talked about how some bands would consider playing Primavera as one of the main reasons to reunite (aside of the money of course). Gabi even mentioned their perseverance to have them play the fest as one the possible reasons Slowdive started touring again. -They are big fans of Arca even if sometimes they are not sure if they liked the records or how to feel after listening to him. -They are definitely booking for the fest some of the bands that played the Primavera Club gigs this month. -Gabi stated that they do not see themselves in direct competition with any other festival in Spain because others like Mad Cool or Barcelona's Sonar have other characteristics and goals. They do not change the strategy because of other festivals. -They would love to try again with Frank Ocean another year but impossible for 2018. -The thing about Iron Maiden and similar bands is that, although they would love to have them, they move too many people and would create a logistics and crowd control problem. -Morrissey: they love him just like they loved The Smiths but he's a difficult booking. -Gabi joked about how he sometimes ponders about making a Primavera style fest in Italy (they were asked about all the Italians that came last year). -Gabi said they like to really think about the lineup possibilities when they are preparing it and that they like surprising people. -They are very happy with this year's lineup because a lot of great bands and artists are touring right now which doesn't always happen.
