Further acts have been confirmed for this year's three-day Primavera Sound festival, held in Barcelona from May 31 'til June 2.
Sonic Youth (pictured) are to play their Daydream Nation album, a la their pair of dates in London, at the festival, and Black Mountain are also confirmed.
Also announced are Shannon Wright, The Apples In Stereo and a selection of Spanish bands including Veracruz and Ginferno. Us neither, but we'll be there to check 'em out.
For full line-up and ticket details click your way to the official Primavera website, here. It's a brilliant bill so far (click here for your proof), with many a DiS favourite due to appear. More bands will be confirmed in the coming weeks.
Hopefully we'll be seeing some of you there!

REALLY?
of montreal??
where did you here that? that could be the band that tips it over the edge of 'a really good festival' into 'holy shit i'm there' !!
havent heard it
but there's a lot of overlap between the two festivals already, ATP are involved in primavera, they're a very ATP band and there's already an elephant six band playing ATP. seems pretty likely they might be picked by barry?
oops
i meant atp there of course. they better be doing primavera now or all that logic above will be for nothing.
i'm confused
wut is elephant six? is this something to do with Of Montreal that i should know about? all i know is that i fucking LOVE Hissing Fauna
- ok i just looked at their profile, so this elephant 6 thing is a collective - ok.
BUT what elephant 6 bands are playing ATP? how many members of Of Montreal is that? How likely is it they will play??? etc etc
Of Montreal..

how many
bands are gonna clash ? is my question
fantastic news
i seriously can't wait now. is that it, though? and does anyone know if any of these spanish bands are any good?
im sure
they've got another ace or two up their sleeves
spanish bands
You can get links to music of all the bands from the Primavera myspace: www.myspace.com/primaverasound
As for the spanish bands, recommended listening are Lisabö, a vasque band that could very well be in dischord ( http://www.myspace.com/lisaboezlekuak ).
On the other hand 6pm is a duo very much in the Notwist or Hood vein, essential listening (www.myspace.com/sixpostmorning ). Finally Mús and Standstill are worth giving a chance.
Aw no Surfin Bichos!
I saw them last summer there. Manel Roig told me they were a legend and I didn't believe him until I drank a half bottle of vodka. Then I saw the light!!
