Festival Guide
Primavera Sound Barcelona is the festival for people who actually care about music. Since 2001, it has built a reputation for booking the most eclectic, forward-thinking lineups in the world — mixing indie legends, hip hop heavyweights, electronic pioneers, and emerging artists you will be bragging about discovering.
Held at Parc del Fòrum on Barcelona's waterfront, the venue is stunning — stages overlook the Mediterranean, and the sea breeze keeps the temperature perfect. The festival runs Thursday to Saturday with sets going until 5-6AM.
Barcelona itself is one of Europe's greatest cities. Come early, stay late — the Barri Gòtic, La Rambla, Barceloneta beach, and the food scene (tapas, vermouth bars, La Boqueria market) are all world-class.
Getting there: Barcelona El Prat Airport (BCN) is 20 minutes by Aerobus. Metro Line 4 goes directly to El Maresme-Fòrum station at the venue entrance.
Pro tip: The schedule runs LATE. Headliners often do not start until midnight or 1AM. Pace yourself accordingly. The Primavera a la Ciutat side shows in city venues are excellent and often free.
