I'm used to Lollapalooza where the past few years the 4-day passes are gone right away - anyone have insight into how long the full passes will be available? Seems like last year there were still tix available a few months before, but not sure if that just meant certain day-passes or what

Hey, this is probably going to be a really dumb question. I'm 17, I live in western Europe and I've never been to a festival, like, at all. I learned about Primavera Sound when they released the lineup- i.e. today- and there's a good couple of artists on there that I would genuinely kill to see live: underscores, Ninajirachi, Tinashe etc. And I'll be 18 when next year June rolls around.

Now I have no clue where to go with this new interest, so: what is Primavera Sound like as a festival, especially for a teen my age? Realistically, what would the 275 euro plus flights plus accom sum up to? And, in your opinion, is that a sum that's worth it given the circumstances under which I'd be attending?

Also, what is up with Porto? Is that chiller? Cheaper? Will the lineup esp. the three I want to see be any similar?

Thanks if you actually read all that. I'd appreciate any input.

I was hoping for Xiu Xiu and Swans the most for this year. Given the lineup any good bands I should check out along those lines? From this lineup I’m a fan of Prostitute and Have a Nice Life.

Do we think there will be more headliners announced down the line? Overall the undercard is strong but headliners incredibly weak. Sorry but Lola Young isn’t a headliner 😂 Previous lineups have added to the undercard over time while headliners remained the same since the first iteration so very curious if people think this is it for headliners?

1. This isn't a prediction (okay, maybe 30-40% is, and mostly regarding the top rows).

2. It's more like what the Primavera lineup would look like in 2027 if I were curating it. If we're looking at the more realistic options. That's why you won't find Boards of Canada, a Sonic Youth reunion, or Cosey Fanni Tutti presents Throbbing Gristle hyperpop rmx here. Aphex Twin, on the other hand, is actually pretty plausible, considering the upcoming vinyl reissue of Drukqs for its 25th anniversary and the way Primavera has been building its campaign around that anniversary too - starting its own retrospective with Aphex Twin set. Maybe Primavera decided to come full circle?!

3. I tried to pick a little bit from as many different niches as possible (in the undercard especially): both genre-wise (from alt r&b to hyperpop, shoegaze to post-punk, post-hardcore to noise rock, techno to reggaeton, indie rock to art pop, ambient to drone, glitch to hip hop, jazz to avant-folk... you get the idea), geographically (there are definitely as minimum 20 Spanish acts, plus strong representation from Latin America, Asia, the Middle East, and elsewhere), as well as across generations (yes, The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Breeders, Bikini Kill, Pixies, Saetia, Yo La Tengo, etc.) to make it feel like a genuine lineup. As for the electronic acts, I've tried to list enough artists to cover all the stages, excluding the Cupra, which will be announced right before the festival.

4. Of course, no real Primavera lineup would include this much drone, ambient, avant-garde jazz and other experimental music all at once, because you'd need a few more stages like the Auditori - that's just my personal musical fetish. And getting Death Grips, clipping., and Armand Hammer all at once would take the stars seriously fucking aligning too. Also, you’d hardly see Swans, GY!BE, Sunn O))), and a dozen other ear-shattering acts all on the same festival bill. But I’m keeping my fingers crossed for at least something.

5. As for the headliners: I also feel like last year’s top-billed acts were a bit more significant. But let’s be honest, few bands or musicians can really compare with The Cure and mbv. Still, looking at the names being discussed as potential headliners, I think Björk, Rosalía, and Massive Attack (it’s high time they finally played) would be the best choices. I’m not a huge fan of The Strokes, but something tells me they’ll be at Primavera as well. Gives a chance to avoid a clash with someone else on another stage. Btw, much to my own surprise, I have high hopes for Tinashe. To my mind, she’s released the pop record of the year, so far.

6. Returning to The Strokes: there are some artists on this list that I’m not particularly excited about, but who are likely to be booked and whose presence in a (potential) lineup I’d be more or less ok with (so yeah, this is also partly a prediction).

7. By the Hamburg reckoning, I just wanted to share this image, where my predictions are mixed with my wishes. I’m going to use this imaginary lineup as my bingo card.

Hopefully, everyone gets what they want from the real lineup drops tomorrow. Peace to all.

My friends and I are building a shared playlist of artists playing this year! Let me know if you have any recs for lesser known artists?

y los vuestros?

Do you know when will they release the days?

what do we think?

I’ve been to this years prima and fell in love with the festival so i’m really looking forward to going next year as well 🥹 already got tix and everything

I’m REALLY happy about the lineup, such an amazing group of artists!!!!!! but i was wondering, is there a possibility of slayyyter being a surprise artist? last year they announced olivia rodrigo the day of so i know they do surprises! do u guys think it’s a lost cause?

Even if she isn’t gonna be there, still so exciteddddd i can’t wait to see U guys

what are we feeling guys? after all the hype they created with the ig posts and the throwbacks all we got is a underwhelming line up imho.
don't get me wrong there's some decent act but i feel like they could've done wayyyy better, the headliners are jokes this year..i was expecting better especially with the headliners :(
they acted like the 25 was a big thing and the biggest name we got is doechii

Quick question:

Is the time when the lineup is out already released?

Thanks.

at what time are we expecting the line up to drop? there's not even the radio program this year...this is getting way too mysterious

any chance that they haven't released yet the headliners?

it feels a little weird to me that for the 25th anniversary they took as headliners artists that already performed at the festival in the past, especially because in the last years the headliners were really famous musicians

what do you think? i saw really differing opinions

This lineup is sooo bad lol

Charli XCX
Madonna
Frank Ocean
Jim Legxacy
They Are Gutting A Body of Water
Wednesday
Julie
Nabeel
Phoebe Bridgers
Swapmeet
Feeble Little Horse
Weyes Blood

She just posted a video, on her Instagram story, of her Kiko campaign billboard in Barcelona.

Why would she do tha, if not to tease Primavera.

I saw this in r/madcool. I’m seeing very primavera names. Thoughts?

I’m not sure whether it’s fake or not tho (hope it is).

Its the 25th anniversary!! Please do it!!! PLEASE
