While I was hoping for a late flurry of impressive acts to be added to Primavera’s line-up (not that there aren’t enough already, but apparently the organisers are still waiting to announce a reasonably big name or two), this is one I am really delighted to see. Broughton can be immense live and I’m eager to see how his show will translate to a festival atmosphere.

Rounding out an already stellar line-up, Primavera have added the following acts to the bill before raising ticket prices once again this coming weekend.
New additions include: Explosions In The Sky, MGMT, Devo, The Sonics, Shellac, Mount Eerie, Times New Viking, Moho, The Clientele, La Estrella De David, Mi and l’Au, Bèstia Ferida, and Devastations. The Wave Pictures have been confirmed for the official after-party (supported by Drowned in Sound DJs) and there are still more names yet to be announced. Still at only €115, this festival is not one to be missed.

With this amount of quality acts, there has got to be at least a few timetable clashes. Nevertheless, I feel compelled (nay, obliged) to go. €95 for three days? How could you not be tempted?
