Anyone feel like hiding me in a suitcase?

I'm really tempted to go to the festival. I wonder if sy palys a full show..
Did anyone ordered tickets?

I did and it will be great to see you there too!!!

my old room mate. :)
did you ordered to all 3 days? hotel too?

should I go to Barcelona as well? think, think, think....!

i'm afraid laura marling is not playing there. :)

maybe we should ask our british friend to come too...

I'm concidering going there too!

how much are some cheap hostels, hotels etc? (in barcelona)

mmm there are other reasons!!!!...Lydia Lunch lives there and i think it's an excuse to Thurston to see his "old girlfriend"????!!!!...anyway that festival has always great names of the indie scene...let´s go to Barcelona!

yeah, for example yo la tengo.

does lightning bolt play on the same day sonic youth does?

The 2007 SY performance was veeeeeery boring.

the atp stage is promising.

anyone know what time SY plays? Before Neil Young, but how long before Neil? We're going to be leaving BCN the next day for our flight back to NYC. AND we need to find a baby sitter for while we're at the show. So... just trying to logistic beforehand rather than the day of...

oh man, i kind of want to go now.

The timetable of all the concerts of the Estrella Damm Primavera Sound 2009 are now available. As well as the full timetables and stages where concerts of the main event in the Fòrum (28th, 29th and 30th of May) will take place, we have also closed the timetables of the parallel music programme, which will take place in different places around the city centre like "Primavera al Parc" (in Joan Miró park), "Primavera als Clubs" (in Apolo and Sidecar venues), "Estrella Damm Primavera Sound baixa al metro" (in Barcelona's underground) and live shows at the Rift shop.

You can check the times of concerts of each artist by clicking on the artist or by going to the “Timetable” section of our web. You can also download them on our main page.

We also have to inform you that the performances of Uffie (Friday 29th May) and of King Automatic (Wednesday 27th May) have had to be cancelled, the first due to the advanced pregnancy of the artist and the second due to logistical problems which have made the Barcelona concert impossible. Uffie and King Automatic will be substituted by Dj Feadz & Jackson and Über respectively.


Access to Primavera Sound

All festivals should have bands that go on at 4.15am :)

download an excel file with the program.

some tough choices have to be made with that schedule...

like?

women vs. magik markers
neil young vs. liars and deerhunter
MBV vs. sunn o)))
sonic youth vs. gang gang dance
bad plus vs. jesu
...

it is pretty obvious:

magik markers
liars and deerhunter
sunn o)))
sonic youth
jesu

so who's from the regular boardies will be there?

I know Mosh is comming, meeting up with him on the first day of festival @ ATP stage.

can't wait for a good music in the great weather (hope great) on da beach!

I'm there.

Best fest this year, I wish I could go...

i live there my friends!!! :-)

sergisonic, is the festival on the coast or somewhere near?

it's in the city coast, really a paradise for a festival!!!

take a look here: http://www.primaverasound.com/index....&sec=ubicacion

I´m here with my wife and toddler in BCN, but there´s no way I can spend that much to see the youth. Plus our flight jets about 6 hours after the show begins. Makes me a little ill to think I´m this close but also far far far from seeing them here. Anyhow.

Anyone have a spare ticket?? Will be getting to the NYC show, tho. I hope the BCN show is a great rocker, this town kicks it for sure. I´d move here if there was a way to.

cool. so whoever from the board wants to meet up, me and Moshe be at ATP stage before Magik Markers gig on thursday. I should be wearing Ecstatic Peace tshirt.

yo, hope Barcelona is going to win, so it's only add to the festival atmosphere, hahaha.

Get me a Jesu or a Liars T-Shirt, will ya? :)

go FC Barcelona!!!! :-)

and obviously, i'll look for you, my sonic friends!!!!

55th. minute. BAR 1-0 MAN so far looks good!

uff I dont think they will have their merch on da festival, but if yes I will get you some.
