Phoebe Bridgers, Hayley Williams, Doechii and Fontaines D.C., among the headliners of Primavera Sound 2027
The festival will celebrate its 25th anniversary from June 2nd to 6th next year at the Parc del Fòrum
BarcelonaNeither Rosalía, nor Madonna, nor Charlie XCX, which were three of the names that had circulated in the rumors. The headliners of the 25th edition of the Primavera Sound, which will take place at the Parc del Fòrum from June 2nd to 6th, are artists such as Phoebe Bridgers, Doechii, Hayley Williams, FKA Twigs, Robyn, Caroline Polachek and Bad Gyal, and bands such as Turnstile, Fontaines DC, The Chemical Brothers and Prospa, in addition to Massive Attack, the band from Bristol that could not perform in the 2026 edition due to a downpour.
In this lineup of the festival's big names, the American rapper Doechii stands out, as she will make her debut at Primavera Sound. Heir to a lineage represented by artists such as Lauryn Hill, Missy Elliott and Doja Cat, the Florida native will arrive with the endorsement of Alligator bites never heal (2024), awarded the Grammy for Best Rap Album. Another debutant at the festival is the American Hayley Williams, who in 2018 performed at the Sant Jordi Club leading the pop-punk group Paramore; now she returns as a spokesperson for diverse discontents, as noted on the magnificent album Ego death at a bachelorette party (2025). Also debuting at the festival is Prospa, who on June 20th, 2026, performed at the Sónar party at the same Parc del Fòrum; this duo from Leeds produces a house music with a rave spirit, evident in tracks like Free your mind, which connects them with The Chemical Brothers and Daft Punk, like an update three decades later.
The other headliners are well known at Primavera Sound, or at other festivals in Barcelona, such as the Swedish Robyn, the British FKA Twigs, the American Caroline Polachek and the Maresme-born Bad Gyal. It is worth noting that some are in a great artistic moment. For example, the Californian singer-songwriter Phoebe Bridgers, who a few months ago released a more than notable album: Lost weekend (2026). It is the same case as the Irish Fontaines DC, who have performed memorable concerts in previous editions of Primavera Sound and who will now return as part of the tour of festivals for the album tour Dopamine chamber (2026) which on October 24th passes through the Sant Jordi Club with tickets sold out.
The lineup once again combines proposals with more than three, four, and even five decades of history, with others that have emerged in recent years. Among the veterans are key indie rock names like Pavement and Dinosaur Jr, luminaries of the most personal singer-songwriter style like Bonnie 'Prince' Billy and the electronic duo Underworld, as well as British folk legend Vashti Bunyan and the ever-unpredictable ANOHNI. Regarding the younger generations, one of the main attractions is Angine de Poitrine, the Quebecois experimental rock duo. There is also the popstar Slovak Adèla and the British artists Lola Young—who was announced for the 2026 edition but could not perform—and Erin LeCount.
Also keep an eye on the presence of Bleachers, the band of producer and songwriter Jack Antonoff, a collaborator of artists like Taylor Swift, Lana del Rey, Lorde, Sabrina Carpenter, and Phoebe Bridgers. Likewise, it is worth highlighting Jesu, the post-metal project created by British musician Justin Broadrick after the first phase of Godflesh. The metal offering, smaller at the festival but always featuring relevant names, also includes the American grindcore band Full of Hell.
Regarding the Catalan artists, in addition to Bad Gyal, the Primavera Sound 2027 lineup includes names like Al·lèrgiques al Pol·len, Fades, Guillem Gisbert, Mishima, and John Talabot.
It will be the 25th edition of a festival that was born as such in 2001 at the Poble Espanyol; before that, it was a concert series in different venues. Since 2005, it has been held at the Parc del Fòrum. In 2020 and 2021, the festival did not take place due to the restrictions imposed by the coronavirus pandemic. That is why 2027 is the 25th edition.
