About Primavera Sound 2026
Primavera Sound is Barcelona's tastemaker summit: three June days at the seaside Parc del Fòrum where the booking philosophy is simply 'everything good, at once'. The 2026 edition paired its headliners by night: Doja Cat and Massive Attack on Thursday, The Cure and Skrillex on Friday, The xx and Gorillaz on Saturday.
The signature move was everywhere underneath: My Bloody Valentine's long-awaited return alongside Slowdive for a full shoegaze axis, Ethel Cain and Big Thief for the quiet devastation, Knocked Loose and Viagra Boys for the noise, Bad Gyal for the hometown dembow, and a club wing that ran Peggy Gou, Carl Cox and Fcukers straight into the small hours. The 36 acts tracked here are the top of a much deeper bill.
Expect pop, post-punk, shoegaze and indie rock across 36 acts.

Search it, filter by day, stage or genre. Save anything straight to your schedule.
Damon Albarn's animated universe — a genre-omnivorous hits machine and guest-star carousel, two decades of cartoon cover for some of pop's best songwriting.
Bristol's trip-hop architects — 'Teardrop' dread and LED-wall politics in one of live music's heaviest atmospheres.
Bass music's shape-shifting elder — from brostep infamy to festival-set transcendence, reinvention as a permanent state.
Goth's beating heart — three-hour sets, Robert Smith's undimmed voice, and a catalog that swings from despair to 'Friday I'm in Love'.
Whispered minimalism that somehow fills a festival field — intimacy at headline scale, 'Intro' still raising arm hair.
Reinvented from short-form-video ubiquity into a genuinely well-made art-pop project — breathy vocals, early-2000s dance production, and co-signs from pop's most discerning corners.
Catalonia's dembow provocateur — Auto-Tuned dancehall glamour made for the club at 3 a.m.
Adrianne Lenker's trembling songcraft in band form — the most quietly devastating live act in indie rock.
Dev Hynes's velvety art-R&B — '80s soul textures, jazz chords, and quiet heartbreak from one of pop's most sought-after collaborators.
Southern-gothic epics — hymn-like, haunted Americana that turns festival fields reverent, the 'Preacher's Daughter' mythology unfolding at its own patient pace.
Josh Tillman's lounge-lizard prophet act — gorgeous orchestration, acid wit, and a crooner's delivery that sells every barbed line.
Little Mix's Jade gone gloriously weird — 'Angel of My Dreams' announced a real pop auteur, camp and chaos with A-list polish.
Belfast's bilingual rap provocateurs — republican mischief, mosh-pit energy, real bars, and a film's worth of mythology already.
Kentucky hardcore built on the meanest two-step riffs going, with Bryan Garris's shriek cutting clean over the top — heaviness that crossed over without softening.
One of rap's sharpest pens, full stop — orchestral ambition and North London grit, 'Sometimes I Might Be Introvert' the modern benchmark.
'Messy' made her unavoidable — raw South London soul-pop with a busted-heart snarl and a voice that earns the Winehouse comparisons.
The gap-toothed prince of jangly slacker-pop — cigarette ballads and pure charm, goofball stage antics over genuinely tender songwriting.
Electra Heart's creator, a decade on — theatrical art-pop with cult-classic devotion behind it.
Loveless made the loudest beautiful music ever recorded — earplugs mandatory, transcendence likely.
Seoul-born, Berlin-forged selector — '(It Goes Like) Nanana' made her house music's biggest global fashion-crossover star.
Two-minute drum'n'bass-pop confections — the internet's most influential songwriter-per-second, nostalgia sampled into something brand new, hooks gone before you can replay them.
Shoegaze's gentlest giants — Souvlaki haze reborn for a generation that found them on the internet.
Sweaty, saxophone-wielding Swedish post-punk satire — one of the best live bands on earth right now, 'Sports' shouted by thousands.
Deadpan, hook-loaded post-punk — the Isle of Wight duo grown into a full-blast rock band, 'Chaise Longue' just the opening joke.
Wry Leeds post-punk gone disco — talk-sung satire you can dance to, Britain narrated mid-groove, grooves with a permanent smirk.
Deep house project with a long club pedigree and a vocal commitment to sustainability in dance music — melodic, percussive sets built for open air.
Geese's frontman gone solo — a cracked, theatrical voice over piano songs that wander somewhere unexpected.
Oh yes, oh yes — techno's most beloved ambassador, three decades deep and still the happiest man behind three decks.
NYC's buzziest indie-dance trio — baggy house grooves with downtown cool, like Madchester relocated to a Chinatown basement.
Neapolitan techno marathon man — famous for sets that outlast the sunrise.
Bilious, very funny queer punk that names names — thirty seconds into the set someone is already in the crowd, and nobody is being spared.
Galway four-piece dealing in gauzy, low-slung shoegaze with a persistent undertow of dread — Irish gloom in slow motion.
Brighton's ritualistic folk-punk coven — violin, drums, and wild-eyed harmony, part gig and part rite, folk horror you can dance to.
Barnett brothers' art-rock project, which traded post-punk austerity for bassoons, taiko drums and choral arrangement — composition as much as band.
Deadpan Brooklyn experimentalism — Matador-signed art-rock puzzles that groove, absurdist and airtight at once, strangeness with a beat you can trust.
The headliners

Lambrini Girls — UK punk's loudest new agitators.
