Primavera Sound 2014

pomfob

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.

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.

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?

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

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…

I hope that it isn't fake for I love Cocaine and Heineken isn't too bad either. So friday would be a success for me!!

White Denim's tour dates end the day before Primavera although they did play as recently as 2012 (Pitchfork). Was half-hoping for a third year of Paus' attendance, but they're on the line-up for Benidorm's Low Festival.
