Primavera Sound Barcelona is one of Europe’s major contemporary music festivals. Based mainly at Parc del Fòrum, it brings together international headliners, emerging artists and independent scenes through a deliberately broad programme.
Music beyond genre boundaries
Indie rock, pop, rap, electronic music, experimentation, folk and new scenes coexist across the lineup. The festival has built a strong curatorial identity through the dialogue between established names and discovery.
An event connected to the city
Alongside the main days at Parc del Fòrum, Primavera has historically developed concerts and activities in other Barcelona venues. It is also an important professional and media gathering for the music ecosystem.
2026 edition
Primavera Sound Barcelona 2026 is scheduled for 3–7 June at Parc del Fòrum. The programme, timetables, access conditions and additional activities should be checked on the official website.
