Primavera Sound 2026 has announced its official line-up. The organisers of the Catalan festival, which will celebrate its 24th edition from 3 to 7 June 2026 at its usual venue of the Parc del Fòrum, have returned to a more classic line-up. This combines indie and alternative rock, pop in its various forms, new urban artists, electronic music, and even metal and traditional music.
The main headliners for the 2026 edition are The Cure, Doja Cat, Gorillaz and The xx. Massive Attack, Addison Rae and My Bloody Valentine will also be performing at the Barcelona festival. Alongside them, we also find more than 150 artists, including Big Thief, Slowdive, the return of Wet Leg and Lambrini Girls after their incredible concerts last year, as well as Skrillex, Peggy Gou, Mac DeMarco, Lola Young, Father John Misty and Guitarricadelafuente, among others.
As for our recommendations, we cannot overlook the return of two legendary 90s American indie bands, Rilo Kiley and Texas Is the Reason. Together with electronic performances by Overmono and Panda Bear & Sonic Boom, as well as metal concerts by Knocked Loose and rap performances by Little Simz, who wowed us a couple of years ago at Sónar, these are sure to be highlights of the festival. The metal concert by Knocked Loose and the rap performance by Little Simz are sure to be highlights of the festival.
Furthermore, Primavera Sound 2026 reaffirms its dedication to gender equality by presenting one of its most diverse and impressive line-ups to date. Alongside the artists already mentioned, notable additions to the line-up include Bad Gyal, Ethel Cain, PinkPantheress, Ravyn Lenae and MARINA. This expansion of female and queer representation in the programme further cements the organisation’s inclusive management approach in recent years.
In terms of Spanish artists, Bad Gyal and Guitarricadelafuente will certainly be performing on the main stages. The festival will also showcase some of the most popular urban artists, including Rojuu, Rusowsky, Barry B and Ralphie Choo. Meanwhile, Depresión Sonora, Jimena Amarillo, Somos la Herencia and Renaldo & Clara will be representing the independent pop-rock scene.
