In a statement, a Primavera publicist notes that the 2019 lineup marks the “first festival of [its] size to create a 50/50 gender line-up.”
As part of the three-day event, Stereolab will reunite for their first show in a decade. The post-rock act recently teased their live return in a post on their website announcing reissues of seven LPs – spanning 1993’s Transient Random-Noise Bursts With Announcements through 2004’s Margerine Eclipse – planned throughout 2019. The band issued their most recent album, Not Music, in 2010.
The 2018 Primavera lineup featured Björk, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, the National, Migos, Haim, Arctic Monkeys and Lorde among the headliners.
