Primavera Sound 2014

[primaprima]

so we have some bands with suspicious tourdates (the national, nin, the notwist, chromeo), some bands that are mentioned a lot in the (spanish) forum (chvrches, dr. john, factory floor) and outkast who just announced a 40-date-all-over-the-world-festival-tour in spring/summer…
any other rumours?

[bousval43]

Based on tour dates:

• The National
• Queens of the Stone Age
• Nine Inch Nails
• The Notwist
• Mogwai
• Metronomy
• Mac DeMarco
• The War On Drugs
• White Denim
• Jagwar Ma
• Warpaint

Also likely:

• Belle and Sebastian
• Black Lips
• Loop
• Liars

@Madam:

… by the way, the ATP stage will be located at the area were The Cure played and the two main stages will be the twin ones, so the sound won't get mixed , at least thats what they told us a few months back, I don't know if they will stick to the idea or they'll find better ones ...

i think i like this idea. i'm not to keen on the big names and the wastelands, so if i can spend all my time in the "old area" that should work just fine for me.

I'm hoping for Braids/Chelsea wolfe/ Volcano Choir/Jon Hopkins….fingers crossed

This. Chelsea Wolfe in the auditori would be perfection.

Really hoping for Warpaint, Emmy the Great, Slint, SISU, Cibo Matto, Failure, St. Vincent, Foetus, Boris, Boredoms, Deltron 3030, Kayo Dot, Mono, Marissa Nadler, Little Dragon, Outkast. And Glass Candy were phenomenal earlier this month…would love for them to be one of those acts that plays every year. And since Nisennenmondai is playing Sonar, maybe they can at least play Optimus Primavera.

My first post. How exciting.

SO.......1st Primavera. All very exciting....I have some 'newbie' questions, rather tieesomely....

When is the earliest we can get wristbands?

A couple of days before - I didn't go last year, but the year before there was somewhere on Las Ramblas you could pick 'em up from. Very useful.

Is the stuff happening before/after the festival (tues, weds & sunday) all that? Does it get busy?

Usually is stuff going on, big free outdoor concerts Wednesday & Sunday in the centre of Barcelona. It's free so it's busy, but not painfully so.

Distance between all the stages. Is it a mega hike? Or close enough, with it not being so close to have 'soundbleed'?

With long legs & the flow of human traffic in your favour, you could go from one end to the other in 10 minutes or so. Give yourself longer. As you may have noticed, soundbleed can be a problem, sounds like it was worse last year than previously.

Is it REALLY possible to manage to 'stay up' untill 6am without the use of illegal substances 3 nights in a row?!? (im 38 years old)
_
Yes, I've been 4 or 5 times and I'm older than you. Don't plan on doing anything active during the day, that's all.

Thats it, really. Just waiting for the line up like everyone else now…..

Me too.

Chelsea Wolfe should be fine in auditori. It should also be very nice to have Theo Terado/Blixa Bargeld in there. And Ennio Morricone. And Elisabet Fraser/Cocteau Twins.

Factory Floor confirmed that answering a question in an interview. I don't remember the magazine, Mondosonoro or Rockdelux.
I don't know the source for Deafheaven but is a very strong rumour in different forums.

Be a shame if there wasn't one 'Bad Seed-connected' act this year following recent history. Grinderman + Neubauten 2011 / Dirty Three 2012 / Nick Cave + Crime and the City Solution (cancelled unfortunately) 2013. Neubauten have a new album for the end of this year, so maybe they'll be back for 2015's festival? Theo Teardo and Blixa would be great though if it happens. N. U. Unruh too would be a cool addition to one of the smaller stages.

[Norbit]

Maybe it's now Blixa's year.

Deafheaven is playing a festival in New York the same weekend as Optimus, so they could be one of those acts that just does Barcelona. Or they're playing Porto on Thursday and then returning to play NY at the end of the weekend.

What's the word on St. Vincent? Her only festival dates so far are NXNE and Bonnaroo, which are the wekeend after Optimus, so could she finally be playing?

[primaprima]

dean wareham releases a new album in march.
i would like to see him at primavera again.

[ror]

Modest Mouse and Kraftwerk announced some festival dates. If they're playing at Primavera too this is really going to be #bestlineupever.

Yeah, he´s cool. Also for the auditori I think that the new collab with Expl in the sky & Eluvium [Inventions] should be interesting; and Current 93…
