For those unable to get tickets for this year’s Primavera Sound music festival, there’s hope yet. Running parallel to the main festival is Primavera a la Ciutat. Serving up an equally amazing lineup of global musicians and DJ sets, it’ll feature concerts across various locations.

The lineup boasts an eclectic mix of artists, including Nilüfer Yanya, Kneecap, Peter Doherty, Tinariwen, Christopher Owens, Lambrini Girls, Seefeel, Allie X and Youth Lagoon. While not set against the iconic backdrop of the Med at Parc del Fòrum, performances will be hosted at some of the city’s most renowned venues: Sala Apolo, Razzmatazz, Paral·lel 62, LAUT, La Nau, Enfants and the CCCB.

Musically, Primavera a la Ciutat is a deep dive into emerging scenes and cult favourites; from indie rock and dream pop to global beats, post-punk, rap and experimental electronica. It’s a celebration of underground spirit and boundary-pushing sound, offering a more intimate musical experience in the heart of Barcelona.
