It’s baaaack! Primavera Sound, Barcelona’s premier indie music festival, comes to the city for its fifth incarnation with an arsenal of venerable names, both old and new. The main events take place at Forum on the 28th, 29th and 30th, but the complementary swirl of parties start at Barcelona clubs as early as the 25th.
With so much to see, hear and do, we’ve weeded out the best and brightest from the week-long fest that music-lovers of all tastes can attend.
