Portishead played Primavera, "take the difficult route"

Portishead @ Primavera Sound, Barcelona - May 30, 2008

As for the future, Geoff insists that their current tour ends at the Primavera Festival in Spain at the end of May, ruling out any other festivals. "Hopefully [we'll be] back in the studio then," he assures, a slight element of self-doubt slipping through.

"We seem to do everything in a way to make life difficult for ourselves. We could play the festivals this summer and not have to worry about the mortgage for a while. But we're not! It's always the reverse of what we should be doing really. I'm sure our agent is going nuts, and the record company's going, 'but how are you going to sell the record through the summer?' I don't know, we'll do what we always do really: take the difficult route." [Popmatters interviewed Portishead]
