Mr Owl PhD Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 I just got back from my first ever End of the Road Festival. Was generally enjoyable - it's a nice site and the weather was good. Highlights were Woods and Lonnie Holley but Cate Le Bon, Tune-yards, David Thomas Broughton, Samantha Crain, Tiny Ruins and Tinariwen were all enjoyable. Some good comedy and cinema stuff too. The main disappointment was that three of the acts I wanted to see pulled out and I missed a few things because of clashes. Might go again next year, although I have a slight preference for Green Man, which I've been to a few times before and which is maybe slightly better.

kirsten Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Strokes first headliner announced for Primavera 2015. Could have been worse......Could have been better too... Can't wait til they start announcing more, though! Off to Le Guess Who? in Utrecht on Wednesday.

Paranoid Android Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 The early announcement is never that exciting to me. The Strokes is probably better than normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colb Posted November 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Ride for Primavera - they love bringing back an old Shoegaze mob. I would REALLY like Wilco to be the next band announced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirsten Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 The Primavera line-up is being announced via an app (must...not...roll...eyes...) next Wednesday. More info here: http://primaverasound.es/noticiaSingle?id=1337〈=en I downloaded it and all you can do at the moment is type in some sort of password. Heads up, it isn't 'Superchunk' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colb Posted January 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Cinerama playing the line-up announcement is pretty cool though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Gold Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Reckon that's better than last year. Fuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 The line up seems to focus on older bands every year. If you look at the top five or six names each night there's hardly an act which hasn't been around for 15 years or more. I guess that sells the most tickets but I think they've maybe got the balance a bit wrong. Looks better for techno this year though, especially there's still the boiler room stage to be announced like last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirsten Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 I take back my dismissal of it being announced via an app. That game is ace. I wasn't even taking notice of the bands, just shooting bad guys, fish and birds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Easy Wishes Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 I'm pretty sure someone earlier/in another thread mentioned VIP tickets for Primavera being a useful option - can anyone shed any light? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colb Posted January 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 VIP tickets get you nice seats for the 3 main stages and cheaper beer - you also get a priority entry point and it's easier to get tickets for the secret/offsite gigs. There might be a gift bag as well...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Easy Wishes Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 So worth the extra EUR 75 or whatever it is? Sounds like it should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colb Posted January 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Aye - we got the early bird tickets so it was too cheap to pass up on, if you're already paying the full whack it's probably worth jumping up to VIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Someone told me last year that pints were 2 euros in the vip area instead of 5, so over the course of the fesitval you could make a lot of the money back right there.

kirsten Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) I always make Spotify playlists when line-ups are announced to familiarise myself with the bands I don't know. I tend to just take the top five tracks from the 'popular' section of the artist pages, but it looks like now the popular tracks are sorted by which have the most plays recently rather than all-time most popular, so some of it may be pish. Anyhoo, if anybody else is interested, here they are. Thursday Friday Saturday This was especially nice to do because it was the first time I got to properly look at the line-up and I spotted Fumaca Preta are playing (Friday). They're my top tip, such a fun live band. *Edit* This is about Primavera. I forget this is a general festivals thread and not just the Primavera thread. AB-MUS ON TOUR!
