This year’s Primavera Sound Barcelona just revealed who’s playing in 2026.
Big names are everywhere on this wild list: the Cure, Gorillaz, Doja Cat, the xx, Massive Attack, Addison Rae, My Bloody Valentine, Skrillex, PinkPantheress, and Peggy Gou are all set to perform. But that’s not all—Mac DeMarco, Little Simz, Big Thief, Dijon, Kneecap, Wet Leg, Jade, Alex G, Amaarae, Blood Orange, Father John Misty, Oklou, Rilo Kiley, Slowdive, Ben UFO, Beverly and Elizabeth Glenn-Copeland, Cameron Winter, Fakemink, Lucrecia Dalt, These New Puritans, Femtanyl, Mark William Lewis, and Shlohmo will also hit the stage. The full poster is below, but it’s honestly a lot to take in.
The festival kicks off on June 3, a Wednesday, and then the main shows light up Thursday, Friday, and Saturday—June 4, 5, and 6. Sunday, June 7, is a different vibe, all about electronic music at Primavera Bits, and Carl Cox is bringing the party with some friends.
Sometimes people just wish they could teleport to Barcelona for this, because the lineup is always so cool.
There’s also a feature about last year’s best moments—“The Best of Primavera Sound Barcelona 2025: Chappell Roan, LCD Soundsystem, Charli XCX, FKA twigs, and More.” Might be fun to look back before looking ahead.
