Primavera Sound celebrates its 25th edition with Doechii, Massive Attack and Turnstile

Primavera Sound has announced the lineup for the festival's 25th edition, which takes place in June 2027 at Parc del Fòrum in Barcelona. The top of the bill is made up of Doechii, Phoebe Bridgers, Fontaines D.C., Hayley Williams, FKA twigs, Turnstile, Massive Attack, The Chemical Brothers, Robyn and Bad Gyal. Lola Young, ADÉLA, Caroline Polachek, Prospa and the back to back set from Skrillex and Ninajirachi are also among the biggest names.

There's some confusion in the reporting about the exact dates. According to DIY and Pollstar, the main program runs from June 3 to 5, 2027, while The Quietus and We Rave You talk about June 2 to 6. That second range seems to cover the whole festival week: DIY reports that the anniversary edition kicks off on June 2 with a free opening day, followed by the regular festival from June 3 to 5. On June 6, Primavera Bits closes out the festival, with Richie Hawtin, Four Tet and Dixon together delivering an eight hour electronic journey.

For Massive Attack, the booking has a special backstory. According to The Quietus, the group is returning after their 2026 performance had to be cancelled because of the weather. Beyond that, the lineup is packed with established and critically acclaimed names, such as Pavement, Underworld, ANOHNI, King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard, Dinosaur Jr., Weyes Blood, Julien Baker, DIIV and Converge. Arca, Tinashe, Shygirl, Underscores, Boy Harsher, Gilla Band, Mabe Fratti, Tirzah, Joy Orbison, Blackhaine and BICEP are also part of the program.

The festival sticks to its eclectic profile with a few standout moments. According to DIY, Vashti Bunyan will make a rare appearance, and Bradford Cox is bringing Atlas Sound back to life after seven years. Juana Molina, Lip Critic, Jesu, Don Caballero, PISS, Twisted Teens, Angine de Poitrine, Westside Cowboy and Dove Ellis are on the bill too. According to We Rave You, the edition features 151 acts in total, with women once again front and center on the bill, although that figure comes from a low reliability source.

Ticket sales begin with the so called Fan Sale, where tickets start at 295 euros according to DIY. General sale opens on October 9 at 11:00 AM Spanish time. For Dutch music fans, Primavera Sound is traditionally a popular destination at the start of festival summer, and this anniversary edition brings indie, electronic, hip hop and experimental music together on one site. If you want to be there, it's worth keeping an eye on when sales begin.
