Roundly hailed and held aloft by those who attended this summer, the Estrella Damm-sponsored Primavera Sound has announced the first raft of acts to play the 2008 festival.

Held in Barcelona’s Parc del Forum from the 29th to the 31st of May, the event tends to bring together an incredibly strong bill of both established and new acts.

Those confirmed so far include:

Mission of Burma
Okkervil River
Eric’s Trip
Model 500
Scout Niblett
Clipse
Shipping News
Holly Golightly and the Brokeoffs
the Felice Brothers
Man Man

The shows represent Clipse and Mission of Burma’s first performances in Spain.

Tickets are on sale now, at €85 plus booking fee – get them at the event’s official site, here.

there's something very very funny

about clipse being so popular with indie types, and them consequently ending up on these festival lineups, spitting their tales of crack-slangin in between sets by okkervil river and wilco.
