Primavera Sound (3 to 7 June)

It has now been twenty years since Primavera Sound started to build its unflinching commitment to live music with Barcelona as the epicentre of an event that is international, multidisciplinary and can be enjoyed all year round.

It is a universe in itself that revolves around the unique character of Primavera Sound Barcelona, which reaches its twentieth anniversary in 2020. From its first steps as a one-day event in the Poble Espanyol to its current status as a global event that turns the Parc del Fòrum into the capital of music for five days, it has been the musical chronicler of its time and place with inimitable lineups.
