Primavera Sound & A La Ciutat 2026
By Charlotte Stace

Barcelona’s biggest summer music festival - Primavera Sound - is back. It brings the typical Primavera mix of indie, pop, rock, electronic and rap from musical heavyweights and exciting new acts for an edition like no other. Primavera a la Ciutat is its more intimate sibling, spreading the same spirit into the city’s concert rooms before and around the main event.
The connection is simple: one is the main event, the other is the city-wide extension. This year, Primavera Sound’s main lineup includes The Cure, Doja Cat, The xx, Gorillaz, Massive Attack, Addison Rae, My Bloody Valentine, PinkPantheress, Skrillex, Peggy Gou, Little Simz, Mac DeMarco, Big Thief, Blood Orange, Wet Leg and Guitarricadelafuente. Primavera a la Ciutat adds names including Mogwai, Yves Tumor, Blood Orange, Yerai Cortés and Black Country, New Road.
Together, they turn Primavera from a festival into a full city takeover. Check out the full programme and lineup on the event’s website and get your tickets fast.
