Primavera Sound
In verband met spreiding? Ik denk dat de officiële capaciteit van het festival (100k) dan gewoon zou dalen, dus dat is ook een W.

Nee, omdat Tous vorig jaar een prima podium met goed geluid was. Minder mensen en meer beweegruimte mag natuurlijk altijd.

Het logo van de gemeente staat dit niet op de poster van dit jaar maar wel op die van de vorige. Dus je zou best wel eens gelijk kunnen hebben, maar dan is de organisatie al langer op de hoogte en zullen er niet per se namen geschrapt worden. Als dat een verlaging van capaciteit betekent, wordt de opening van Madrid meteen ook weer iets logischer

There is a more important structural change: Primavera won’t be using the Sant Adria site [where BITS etc traditionally were] this year because we can’t use the bridge. The festival site will be more compact: there will be less walking.

The stages that were in Sant Adria will be relocated to the main Forum site. The capacity of the festival will be reduced in line with these changes, as the public wanted. The Primavera stage will be bigger.

Dit lijkt me op zich goed nieuws, als ze soundbleed ten minste weten te voorkomen

Ik hoop dat het allemaal goed gaat, maar ik heb geen spijt van het niet kopen van een kaartje.

Swans, Boris, John Cale en Laurie Anderson spelen in Auditori. Hard hoor. Er komt ook een Auditori in Madrid trouwens, in een theater overdag. Dus Madrid krijgt misschien het voordeel dat je dingen daar kan zien zonder clashes met andere dingen

Nou, an sich is dat goed nieuws. Maar de sound bleed van Boiler Room afgelopen jaar was gewoon ergerlijk. Dus als ze nu nog meer podia ertussen gaan proppen..

Hard wel hoor Swans en Boris in het Auditori. Damn.

Dat Auditori in Madrid ligt aan het andere eind van de stad, lol.

Volledige Q&A:

Quote:Q: What has been your most ambitious booking this year?

AL: The headliners are always more ambitious and complex. The line up is a wishlist. There are artists who make us very excited. We are a team of nerds: Laurie Anderson, Eddie Palmieri, Michael Imperioli with ZOPA, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, Red Velvet, Le Tigre...

AL: Not all wishes come true.

I haven’t made any personal requests this year: last year we had Pavement, my favourite group.

Q: Did you try to book Pulp this year?

AL: Pulp is a group we love at Primavera. (“Es un grupo de la casa”)

This year they have decided not to leave the UK [and Ireland].

Hopefully one year.

Q: I would love to see Phoebe Bridgers at the Forum, is that ever going to happen?

AL: Of course. She was at Primavera Latin America. A very Primavera artist.

Q: Do festivals prevent some artists and groups from playing regular concerts, in indoor venues?

AL: We are a concert promoter that does a lot of “normal” concerts, in indoor venues. Many artists can only be seen at festivals because touring in theatres doesn't pay off. International hip-hop artists do not go through Spain (for various reasons). Festivals allow us to see them: eg. Kendrick Lamar.

Q: How do you decide the timetable of the artists at Primavera Sound, by stage and time?

AL: It is a big effort to balance schedules and other variables: production, artist schedule requirements, routing, stage parity, distribution of the public in the venue. The overlaps exist because they are necessary to avoid crowding. Each slot is designed for a reason.

Q: Is there going to be a change in the Primavera Stage?

AL: There is a more important structural change: Primavera won’t be using the Sant Adria site [where BITS etc traditionally were] this year because we can’t use the bridge. The festival site will be more compact: there will be less walking.

AL: The stages that were in Sant Adria will be relocated to the main site. The capacity of the festival will be reduced in line with these changes, as the public wanted. The Primavera stage will be bigger.

Q: What can we expect from the concerts in the Auditori de Barcelona this year?

AL: Swans, John Cale, Laurie Anderson, Boris…

AL: At the Lope de Vega Theatre in Madrid there will be a parallel [Auditori] program.

There will be auditorium programming during daytime as a warm up to the Arganda del Rey fanzone.

Q: What will the tcketing system be for the concerts at the Auditori / Lope de Vega Theatre/ Primavera a La Ciutat / Brunch?

AL: There will be a reservation system via AccessTcket. To ensure that people with reservations actually attend, the reservation will cost a ‘symbolic’ price. This will be returned as a credit in AccessTicket to consume at the festival when entering the venue.

AL: There will be a free tcketing system for the Pet Shop Boys concert in Madrid.

Q: Why did you decide to put the same line-up on in Madrid and Barcelona?

AL: To establish a routing base in the Iberian Peninsula. It means you can offer artists more concerts. The same idea with Latin America.

Q: Is there enough of a public for two festivals with the same line up?

AL: Yes definitely.

Q: If, in 2023, it had been possible to repeat the 2022 model of two weekends in Barcelona, would there be Primavera Sound Madrid?

AL: Madrid has been in our thoughts for years. It was impossible to do two weekends in Barcelona and a window of opportunity opened up in Madrid.

I prefer to do the same line up in two different cities: it’s two different experiences.

Q: Is Madrid a first step towards leaving Barcelona for good?

AL: No! We are a festival from Barcelona, our DNA is from here.

We had posters saying “Created in Barcelona” at the Latin American and Los Angeles festivals. We are not going to leave Barcelona because it is where we were born.

Q: When can we start to see what the Arganda del Rey site looks like?

AL: We will do something to start giving people an idea. The render of the space is amazing. There are no neighbours, there are no sound or time limitations. It is a space designed to hold a festival.

Q: How is Madrid’s musical scene?

AL: Madrid has a great night life. The week of the festival will be incredible. Madrid’s music will be represented at the fanzone.

Q: How do you get along with Mad Cool?

AL: We do not consider them competitors. They are a complementary festival. We don't have any problem with them and we don’t have much of a relationship with them.

Q: What facilities will you provide to help with arrival and departure from the Madrid site?

AL: Primavera Sound could not fit in a more central venue in Madrid. We did look. We love Arganda. But it is a challenge. We have an effective mobility plan. Almost 400 buses will run from from the Civitas Metropolitan fanzone.

There will be concerts, accreditations and merchandise at the fanzone. In 28 minutes, you will get to the site.

AL: There will be a fixed price for taxis, sufficient cars, a pick-up point in Arganda. We will limit the tckets we sll for Madrid to ensure that the mobility plan works: we will be conservative.

AL: Civitas is not just a bus stop: things will happen there.

Q: Is a tcket that costs more than 300 euros sensible in times of crisis?

AL: Tckets went on sle for €325 after the lineup was announced. We sll many more passes before that - more than half. The price is set according to budget: artistic; production; promotion. The price of production is high, generally, this year.

AL: The are 3 sources of income for Primavera Sound: tcketing; sponsors; bars. Primavera Sound doesn’t receive any grants. The price is reasonable compared to our international competitors (Coachella, Glastonbury, Roskilde, Tomorrowland…): Primavera Sound is cheaper than these.

AL: It is a reasonable price for what we offer: it works out at €93 / day. There are almost 70 bands / day. A person night see 6-8 concerts a day, a couple of headliners. Compare that with what tckets for big artists’ concerts cost.

AL: There is a discounts for residents of Barcelona and Madrid; and the “Bono Cultural” to take into consideration. (“Bono Cultural” = 400 euros for people in Spain who turn 18 throughout 2022 to spend on cultural goods)

Q: In 2022 there were complaints on social media about crowds, queues at bars, changes in the venue layout... Have you made any decisions about this? Will you take measures so that the saturation at the bars does not happen again?

AL: Last year there were 6-8 hours of difficulties on the first day of the 10-day festival. And we are sorry about that. For 2023 we have reduced the festival capacity, without losing any stages.

AL: VIP stands will return to their original position towards the sides of the stage.

Q: Will there be enough water points at the festival?

AL: Yes: there will be enough free hydration points.

Q: What guarantees do you give that the user experience will be satisfactory, considering all the factors that usually contribute to people not having a good time?

AL: Primavera Sound has 20 years of history: good line ups + good experiences. In Barcelona there will be return shuttles [to the city centre]. We are talking to the taxi association in Barcelona as we have done in Madrid.

Q: Have you taken into account the fact that people of over 40 years of age have different demands and needs from those of young people, between 20-35?

AL: At Primavera Sound there are people from 14 to 80 years old, there are services for young people and for adults. Primavera Sound has more bathrooms than average. We have well-kept VIP areas, we are working with Soho House. Primavera Sound will be a comfortable experience.

Q: Why is it that NO ONE is able to answer any questions we have regarding issues with Festcket?

AL: I apologise for that. We are meeting with Festcket to find a solution to this issue and hope to be able to provide an answer in the next few days.

Q: Where will the VIP areas be this year?

AL: There will be no VIP area in front of the stage. Artists want their fans in front. VIP area includes preferential access.

Q: In Barcelona, ​​will there be a BITS zone?

AL: Not in Sant Adriá, but it will be integrated into the Fòrum site.

Q: Will there be a Boiler Room this year?

AL: We will announce the Boiler Room line up soon. The Primavera Sound line up is always a living thing. Boiler Room will be in Barcelona and Madrid.

Q: Will there still be the NTS stage? Will there also be one in Madrid?

AL: There will be a Warehouse in Barcelona and Madrid.

Q: After the first editions of Primavera Sound in Brazil, Chile and Argentina, will the festival return to Latin America?

AL: I hope so. The three editions went very well, the intention is to continue. We hope to give you some news in the coming weeks.

Het Auditori in Madrid ligt midden in het centrum, waarschijnlijk in de buurt van je hotel. Dus als de concerten daar inderdaad eerder in de middag zijn, kan je daar gaan kijken en dan naar het festivalterrein. En het is wel een gruwelijk mooie zaal. Het probleem is misschien alleen dat te veel mensen er dan in willen?

Hopelijk pakt dat AccessTcket reserveringsysteem goed uit.

Je hebt gelijk, da's idd centraal gelegen. Maar wel 50 minuten met de metro van het Civitas gebied vandaan waar mensen de bus pakken. Dus niet zo handig voor mensen die in de buurt van het Civitas willen verblijven.

Lijkt dat Aphex Twin twee weken later in BCN op Sonar staat, en dat terwijl Primavera met Calvin Harris opgescheept zit. Tja.

Dit lijkt me wel een vrij last minute ding, niet? Eerst komt Field Day af met die quasi exclusieve aankondiging. Daarna volgt plots BKS, Syd for Solen en Rosendal.. Die misten allemaal nog een headliner. En nu dus ook Sonar er dan bij..?

GNR speelt op de vrijdag van Primavera Madrid in het Civitas gebied van waar al die bussen vertrekken. Wordt dus nog een dikkere logistieke puinzooi, LMAO.

Benieuwd of ze een vergelijkbare vervanger regelen, of dat ze een al geboekte act zoals Caroline Polachek upgraden naar haar plek.

Met deze hint hoop je toch op de volledig originele samenstelling. Ben benieuwd.
