Primavera In Between Days to be added in 2023, no doubt

Which version will the rolled-over tickets be valid for then?

#304

Yeah, can see the business sense of a one off double-weekender next year a bit more though. They’ve sold out all the tickets for one already and presumably had a lot of people on the waiting list, since friends on it were never offered full weekend tickets.

Doubt they’ll stick with the format, since they only ever seem to just about sell out the festival on a normal year anyway.

And will it be the same line up like Coachella?

This just SCREAMS Hogan, doesn’t it.

Only going if they have Dyson air blades in the VIP bogs again then.

#308

Presumably so. Would be a bit cheesed off if they didn’t to be honest. My FOMO can’t take choosing between two weekends.

#309

So 6 Shellac sets and 4 Deerhunter sets across the 2 weekends then?

#310

Sort of hate this idea, tbh.

#311

I don’t hate it as a one off but, what are bands going to do for the week in between. Will they be able to play round Europe or are they going to have a radius clause like Coachella.

#312

I mean if it’s two weekends as apposed to increasing the capacity then I don’t mind too much.

#313

Same, as a one off. Over the years have met quite a few friends of friends at Primavera, so it’s nice to know that I’ll always bump into people there and two weekends would ruin that a bit. A lot of people I know already have tickets for the next one though, so I’m not as worried

I guess I’m more hesitant about it because I know it eats into other festivals’ schedules – as much as the festival loves to think it is, it’s not Coachella, it’s part of an ecosystem of stuff during early summer and shares acts, tech people, etc with a bunch of other events across Europe across those weeks. Having artists commit to two weekends might negatively impact other smaller festivals that pull from that pool. I dunno really.

#317

Don’t think you can take that article as gospel yet but

will have around 400 shows across two lineups

#318

Is there much on around then? I mean they already do a reduced version of the festival the following weekend in Porto. Think it would be a bad plan to make it a permanent fixture, but unless there’s a massive boom in the festival market over the next several years there won’t be the demand for it beyond 2022, so I don’t see them doing so.

#319

400 shows rather than 400 acts… I imagine there will be some variation due to artist availability, but I’d be surprised if they could pull off two entirely different line ups.

#320

Yep there’s stuff like (going on 2019/2020 schedules) Field Day, Northside, Sideways, Junction Two, All Points East, Wide Awake, We Love Green, Parklife, Lovebox, various smaller fests, etc etc. They’re usually delicately balanced but adding an entire extra weekend into the mix sort of blows the whole thing apart for everyone.

#321

Guess people would have said that about Porto though and they worked it out. Don’t think it’ll be a massive issue for a one-off, BUT I’m with you that it’s a little bit greedy/predatory
