An unlikely addition to next year’s Primavera Sound festival line-up has thrilled members of the public. The likes of My Bloody Valentine, The Cure, and Gorillaz will headline the Barcelona-based festival in 2026. Further down the line-up are brilliant bands like Geese, Wet Leg, and Yard Act, as well as a few surprises in the mix for good measure.

But some were puzzled by one act in particular being so far down on the line-up, and have gone as far as to say they should be headlining the festival. The xx, Addison Rae, and PinkPanthress were among the headliners for next year. Skrillex, Peggy Gou, Doja Cat, and Massive Attack are also listed as show headliners.

An appearance from an artist who has featured in some of the biggest Hollywood films of the last few years has surprised people as they are lower down on the roster and many believe she should be top billing.

Fans who spotted Cara Delevingne sandwiched between Geese frontman Cameron Winter and the great post-rock group caroline were confused as to how the Hollywood star wasn’t headlining.

Not only were they wanting her to headline the show, they didn’t even realise the Paper Towns star had been making music. One person wrote: “Cara Delevingne what are you doing here?” Another added: “Like genuinely what? Does she make music? I am so confused.”

A third person has since shed some light onto Delevingne being on the Primavera Sound line-up. They wrote: “She does. She’s a singer/songwriter and also plays drums.

“She made two albums (2013) and (2015) when she was managed by Simon Fuller but neither were officially released when her contract negotiations stalled with labels. They all wanted her to change her name.

“She has done soundtrack work and production work and writing for other artists. she most recently worked with Fiona Apple on her 2021 album, Fetch The Bolt Cutters.

“Her new project under her own name will be out next year so this show will likely focus on debuting the songs from that.”

Others believe next year’s festival line-up, which also features Big Thief and Baxter Dury, is a surefire hit for the festival.

One person shared: “Top quality lineup. Can understand the 2025 lineup being a big hit for pop fans but this is much more like it, right up my street.”

Another added: “Man, I am jealous of whoever ends up going. Hell of a lineup, even the more obscure artists are great.” A third added: “This line up is sooooo good. All the acts on this line up are amazing and also relevant, something other festivals are lacking.”

Like the rest of us, the Irish TV presenter is a big fan of the change in seasons – and it’s for more than one reason, with a study showing Brit’s favourite things about the seasonal change

As autumn creeps in around the corner, it turns out Brits aren’t too sad to say goodbye to the summer months.

Instead, as the nights became darker most Brits relish snuggling up under a warm blanket after a long day or warming their hands with a hot drink. And it turns out TV presenter Angela Scanlon is a huge fan too.

The Irish personality and her walking club, ‘Hot Messers’, teamed up with Costa Coffee for a stroll through Epping Forest to celebrate the return of autumn, and the return of the brand’s Maple Hazel range, where she shared her love for all things autumn.

She said “I absolutely love autumn and not just because it matches my hair. It sneaks in with its crunchy leaves and smug sunsets and suddenly I’m wearing knitwear like it’s a personality trait.

“It’s the only season that actually wants you to slow down and let’s face it we could all do with a nap. It’s the ultimate reset – a season of hot drinks, half-baked plans for weekend escapes, and full permission to lean into cosy like it’s a competitive sport”

Research commissioned by Costa Coffee of 5,000 adults reported that a third turn into a ‘cosy comfort seeker’ as soon as the season starts to shift. It found Brits love to snuggle up in doors while they listen to the sound of the rain outside where they can light candles and eat their favourite comfort food.

According to the study, some of the other top 20 things about autumn include crunchy leaves underfoot, curling up with good books and evenings with puzzles or games.

More than half of autumn-lovers admitted they have a tendency to romanticise the season and think of it in an overly positive way. Admitting it makes them feel nostalgic, and more reflective or thoughtful.

However, nearly four in 10 enjoy dressing more for autumn, with these saying the top reasons are they can mix style with comfort – or break out the chunky boots.

On average, people who enjoy a hot drink have four more hot drinks every week in autumn than they do in summertime. They’re also likely to try a new autumnal season hot drink when they launch.

For 15 per cent seasonal drinks are one of the things they love most about autumn coffee shop visits – while 17 per cent enjoy the rich aroma of fresh coffee.

Gennaro Pelliccia, spokesperson at Costa Coffee, added: “As Angela says, autumn invites reflection and comfort. We see every day how a hot drink can be part of that – a small ritual that makes the season feel special.

“Our autumn range celebrates exactly that sense of slowing down and savouring the moment. ”
