Primavera Sound Barcelona has announced details of its 2026 edition, with more than 150 artists set to perform across the three core days of the festival, from 4 to 6 June 2026, at Parc del Fòrum.
Among the main acts set to perform at the 24th edition of the festival, are The Cure, which previously set the record for the longest concert in the festival’s history, The xx, Gorillaz, Massive Attack, Doja Cat, Addison Rae and shoegaze pioneers My Bloody Valentine.
Other performers include Mac DeMarco, PinkPantheress, Skrillex, Peggy Gou, Father John Misty, Ethel Cain, Bad Gyal, Big Thief, Wet Leg, Little Simz, Slowdive, Alex G, Dijon and Blood Orange, while rap group Kneecap will also return following their stellar performance at the 2025 edition.
Electronic artists including Overmono, Sama’ Abdulhadi and Underground Resistance are also set to appear, while Carl Cox, Joseph Capriati and Blond:Ish will play the Primavera Bits after-party on 7 June.
As a press release put it, ‘There is no doubt that Primavera Sound is what it is because of the city that has hosted it since 2001, although the influence is reciprocal after so many years of symbiosis: in a way, Barcelona is also what it is because of the festival, which helps to define it just like the characteristic panots on the pavements do and as the legacy of the 1992 Olympic Games still does. Because in the same way as the Olympics are a showcase of sporting diversity witnessed by the whole world, the festival will display its unmistakable mosaic of sound while the entire music world looks towards Barcelona for yet another year.’
Allied to the music, the festival will again host Primavera Pro, the industry-focused conference and showcase series, from 3 to 7 June, which returns to the Auditori Fòrum for selected performances following a year’s break.
