I'd say a lot of them have been announced. Wilco or Shellac especialy, they only played there last year.

na, Wilco didn't play last year. as for Shellac, they play every year. you'd think people'd be sick of them by now. i'd be surprised if we've heard the last of the polled bands. surprised and disappointed in people's taste. i've a feeling there's some big names yet to be announced.

Sorry, I should have put a comma after "Wilco". I know they weren't there last year, 2007 was the last time they played I think.

I think I've already asked this but (here goes again), what's the story with the band poll they did last summer? that should yield some decent bands.

PIXIES
ANIMAL COLLECTIVE 1294
PORTISHEAD 998
BELLE AND SEBASTIAN 961
THE ARCADE FIRE 945
WILCO 924
BUILT TO SPILL 896

Apparently Modest Mouse, Animal Collective and Battles are the bands they are still chasing from the poll. From what I can gather the rest cant make it.

 

[JunoG]

does this usually sell-out? havent got tix yet and wondering should i pull the trigger ASAP?

 

[wrafter]

Since it moved to the larger forum venue, and with the economy the way it is in Spain with 38% of under 34 year olds unemployed... I think this year more than any year it's safe to risk delaying the purchase.

 

[JunoG]

cheers wrafter - will hold off for a while so

 

[jcdonaggio]

booked myself into Barcelona Urbany hostel on Ernesto's recommendation, looks cheap and cheerful.

Here, can you "come and go" with a ticket?

I'll be in Barcelona with the wife and kid while this is on, so we both wont be going, but we would like to see a couple of bands each. She could go to a couple then I could go to a couple. Can you do that with 1 ticket or is there a wristbands typa deal?

Wristbands AND a card. You need both to get in.

New venue? What? What's the economy got to do with it?

It's cool, turns out you don't know what you're talking about.

Don't be listening to internet chums who don't know anything. Get your ticket now if you don't want to end up paying more for it.

The question was will it sell out, not will the price go up.

I think in these modern times that it isn't so much how it was the question but really how it is the question.

 

[Corrientes]

40 acts to be announced on wednesday..|..|

 

[jcdonaggio]

any guess for headliners? Someone mentioned the possibility of Massive Attack. That would be nice.

 

[Gambra]

Massive Attack were pretty boring when they headlined EP though I don't know how the new albums sounds but I've never been a huge fan of theirs.

 

[Corrientes]

Modest mouse and broken social scene strongly rumoured as per primavera forum

i 'm nearly 100% its wristbands, but it was a few years back i went.

Yeah, as unicron said, it's wristbands and a credit card-size plastic card that they barcode scan on entrance. You should be able to alternate the wrist band between the two of yiz fine. I accidentally pulled off my wristband last year and just 'affixed' it back on using my watch strap. The wristband is only really checked by the first lines of security who are there to weed out those who are primavera attendees and those that aren't.
