Primavera Sound has prided itself at always being at the forefront of organizing successful, entertaining musical events. The Barcelona-based music promotion company has, since its modest beginnings at the start of the new millennium, continuously developed and displayed a strong commitment to the music that people love. And in the past 19 editions of the festival, spectators from all walks of life and even different generations have enjoyed the live musical experience that the various stages of Primavera Sound have to offer.
The previous editions of Primavera Sound have always catered to the tastes of the masses, and consequently, the musical lineups have invariably been strongly influenced by rock, pop and the underground tendencies of dance music. Some of the famous artistes that have graced their stages in the past include Arctic Monkeys, Pixies, Arcade Fire, Queens of the Stone Age, Nine Inch Nails, Kendrick Lamar, Neil Young, Sonic Youth, Portishead, Radiohead, Tame Impala, Pet Shop Boys, Lou Reed, Patti Smith, James Blake, Cat Power, Public Enemy, Grinderman, Devo, Enrique Morente, The White Stripes, LCD Soundsystem, Swans, Melvins, De La Soul, Marianne Faithfull, Mazzy Star, Blur and the Wu-Tang Clan.
OS Primavera Sound, the festival's Portuguese counterpart, has been held in the city of Oporto since 2012 and has grown to be incredibly successful as well. The Portuguese chapter of the festival will take place a week after the Barcelona edition, and celebrated artistes such as Antony and the Johnsons, Interpol, FKA Twigs, Death Cab for Cutie, Haim, Slowdive, Suede, The Flaming Lips, Rufus Wainwright, Wilco, Beach House, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, and Sigur Rós have already played on the stages of the Parque da Cidade.
