never actually got to see pixies in Dublin but did see frank black and the catholics some years back over here Saw Pixies literally just months after they 're-formed' in Barcelona, the same night that Mudhoney were also playing Great night - needless to say Great Festival full-stop, actually - always (or a lot of the time anyway) good line-ups The festival is Primavera and is an annual set-up that happens in Late-May-early June every year in Barcelona (Spain) Barcelona is just an awesome city to boot - great weather, great atmosphere, lovely food, affordable living prices, just not so easy to find work especially in my case, and unfortunately - no able Espanol  (nor Catalan for that matter :  But have been there 4 times (twice for the aforementioned festival) and would love to live there someday ...pipe-dreams for now though " In 2004 the festival kept growing in length (three days in the Poble Espanyol), artists and attendance. The popularity of headliner acts and, especially, the performance of the legendary band Pixies (they played their first European date in twelve years) raised the attendance numbers up to 40,000 people who came from Spain, U.K., France, Italy, Germany and Portugal. Other headliners such as PJ Harvey, Primal Scream, The Divine Comedy, Wilco or Franz Ferdinand contributed to close the most successful festival edition so far. The Mercat de les Flors, where the day-time activities took place, increased this year the number of bands, thanks to the outdoor stage next to the Record labels Fair. The line-up of this area included a greater number of international artists such as Edison Woods, Berg Sans Nipple, Fernando Alfaro & Nacho Vegas, Xiu Xiu or Telefax. Another improvement of this edition was the capacity and the space comfort. The main stage was located on the north side of the Poble Espanyol site. This helped to make the access to the stages more fluid. Besides the mentioned bands, these were some of the most celebrated shows among the almost 100 live acts of Primavera Sound 2004: Liars, !!! (chk chk chk), Benjamin Biolay, Dominique A, Scissor Sisters, Pretty Girls Make Graves, Chicks On Speed, Sun Kil Moon, Julie Delpy, Devendra Banhart, (Smog), Dayna Kurtz, Plaid, Elbow, Nina Nastasia, The Glimmer Twins, Colder, Cristian Vogel, Blackstrobe, The Ladybug Transistor, Casiotone For The Painfully Alone, The Russian Futurists, The Fall, Mudhoney, Lloyd Cole, The Raveonettes, The Hidden Cameras, Erol Alkan, Numbers, Kid 606, 2 Many Dj´s, James Murphy, Miss Kittin, Luke Slater, Technasia, Experience, Willard Grant Conspiracy, Dizzee Rascal, Michael Gira, James Chance & The Contortions, Jason Forrest, Dj/Rupture, Alexander Robotnik and David Holmes. Among local acts, remarkable shows by La Buena Vida, Lluís Llach, Ruper Ordorika, Chucho and could be seen." I went back for the same festival in 2005 - saw stooges, sonic youth, broken social scene, gang of four and a few others that were worth the trip Great times!! the link to festival is - www.primaverasound.com/?idioma=enanyone who has the chance, time and cash - worth checking out! |
