Primavera Festival on WFMU: Broadcast Times for Friday and Saturday

WFMU returns to the fabulous Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona, Spain from May 27th-29th! We'll be carrying full sets this Friday from Noon to 11pm, and Saturday from 1pm to Midnight, and the lineup resembles a who's who of WFMU Heavy hitters. Again, we're not only uber-honored that the organization has made us their official American radio station, but that so many incredible acts have given us their permission to carry their sets (Pavement, pictured left, are giving us an exclusive opportunity to simulcast their current reunion tour). WFMU staffers live in Barcelona giving play by play, talking with the artists, rejoicing as well we're not in a soccer riot this year! More info on the fest on the Blog here.

Sorry to report the Fall did an about-face on broadcast for Friday, everybody.

[Neil deMause]

Now there's a shocker.

Not to complain about a fantastic lineup, but any chance Superchunk's set turns up at any point? I was really hoping they'd make the final cut.

[Brian Turner]

Hey Neil, Superchunk are recorded, but have asked to hear it before airing. We hope if we cannot bring it this weekend, we will in the near future on WFMU.

[Paul]

That's a real pity about The Fall, don't suppose they'll change their mind?

[Neil deMause]

Thanks, Brian! I'll keep my fingers crossed...

[David Rothblatt]

Don't miss Cal Pep, love that place! What a tremendous lineup, will be locked in... enjoy!

[Jan-Willem]

Is there any chance you'll be able to record and transmit Low's set, perhaps at a later date?

cheers from the Netherlands :-)

[Stuart Page]

Can you record The Fall discretely?
