Primavera Sound, held annually at Parc del Fòrum in Barcelona, Spain, is one of Europe’s largest and most influential music festivals. Founded in 2001, it originally focused on indie rock but has expanded to include hip hop, electronic, and pop. Known for its late-night schedule, the festival gained recognition in 2019 for introducing gender-balanced lineups under the slogan “The New Normal.”
With record attendance of over 460,000 in 2022, Primavera Sound has become a global brand with editions in Porto, Madrid, and across the Americas. Its diverse lineups have included acts such as Pixies, Radiohead, Kendrick Lamar, and Rosalía, earning the festival a reputation as “the Coachella of Europe.”
