Jesus H. Christ, that line-up looks too good to be true! No way I'm making it to Spain for this, but damn... that looks sexy.

I kind of had a feeling they might play there after seeing them at Rock en Seine last year, where the audience and general vibe seemed to be quite "Primavera-ish". I remember Trent saying how much he appreciated performing there with bands like Phoenix and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club after playing Reading/Leeds. Anyway, totally looking forward to it, amazing line up (SLOWDIVE!!).

So will they be playing last, or will Kendrick?

Love Barcelona, I'm excited to be going back!

If I remember correctly the organizers always try to to have two headliners play at the same time (one on the Heineken stage, one on the Primavera stage), to avoid bottlenecking, everyone being in front of the same stage at the same time,... Could be done with NIN and Kendrick as well as I would assume they cater to different audiences.

Ah I see. Gonna be some harsh decisions on first two days then!

They wont really be playing last per say. The higher bill headliner goes on maybe around 2 am or so. And there will be plenty of acts performing after they finish. Here is the schedule from last year. And you can see that they stagger it enough, and with so many stages, it will put you at making some decisions schedule wise. So Kendrick could go on a few hours before, and NIN can follow. The audience at Primavera isnt really set as much as it would be in the u.s. for example. Plenty of people will want to see Kendrick and NIN. And considering it will be their only date in the whole country of Spain for 2014, itll be crowded, and yes, waiting at a specific stage is put to the test with the scheduling. When I attended in 2010, I was able to be up front for every act I watched except for the dj's that closed out the night/morning, which isnt a big deal. Just have to time things, and youre good to go.
