Primavera Day 2

Published on by OlivierLeave a comment

Due to public demand here’s some impressions from a very nice day 2: 

RTJ shaked down the stage and impressed with socio-political messages of love anf respect!

Whitney jamming on the sunny main stage 

The xx – with a lot of fun and humility, though not ALL the notes were hit 100%

Jamie XX bringing some balearic feeling onto the Heinken stage

Not to forget another favorite of the day: Sampha!

Best of day 1

SOLANGE blew us away on day 1 this yesr with an inspired, moving and innovative show.


Another highlight was BON IVER’s set. His initimate rendition of ‘Skinny Love’ at the end of his set was particularly moving!

What else: Nikki Lane, Julia Jacklin, Kevin Morby and of course Aphex Twin!
