BarcelonaThe Cure, Doja Cat, The XX, Addison Rae, Gorillaz and Kneecap are some of the main attractions of the next edition of Primavera Sound, which will be held at the Parque del Foro from June 3 to 7, 2026. The British group The Cure, which in 2024 published the magnificent album Songs of a lost world, returns to the festival with carte blanche: he will be able to give as long a concert as possible, according to sources at Primavera Sound. That is, just as it happened in the 2012 edition.

One of the new features of this 24th edition is the participation of Massive Attack, who until now had performed frequently at Sónar, but never at Primavera Sound. The lineup also includes artists and groups such as Bad Gyal, Big Thief, Blood Orange, Ethel Cain, Father John Misty, Einstürzende Neubauten, Peggy Gou, Guitarrica delafuente, Merzbow, My Bloody Valentine, Pinkpanteress, Renaldo y Clara, and Skrille. Tickets for all days of the festival will cost €311.50.

The image for the 2026 edition plays with the Olympic rings and the typically Barcelona panot. That is to say, two elements closely linked to the city of Barcelona, ​​​​as if Primavera Sound wanted to strengthen Barcelona's identity precisely when the contract with the City Council must be renewed to continue in the Parc del Fòrum and on the marine platform from 2027.
