In a statement, Primavera organisers said: “we are especially proud to announce that the first names in the Primavera Sound Barcelona 2021 line-up feature a majority of artists who reconfirm their presence at the festival, as well as the occasional very special new addition.

“A first selection of artists that condenses the spirit of the festival for an edition that is as long awaited as this 20th anniversary edition is, and that will be updated soon with new names, both from the 2020 lineup and new surprises.”

When will the next Primavera Sound Festival take place?

Primavera Sound will be held from 2 to 6 June 2021, in Barcelona, Spain.

Organisers had previously spoken out about the decision to cancel the 2020 festival, saying: “Whoever said that the second chances are never good did not imagine that we would experience something like what is happening this 2020.”

“With the whole world on pause due to the evolution of the global pandemic and with the live music sector holding its breath facing a summer without festivals, we can only look forward: towards 2021, specifically, the year in which we are going to recover everything that will be pending from 2020.”

How can you buy tickets to Primavera Sound?

Tickets for next year’s festival will be available to purchase online from Wednesday 3 June.

Any festival-goers who had purchased tickets for the aborted 2020 festival will still be able to use those tickets to gain entry to the 2021 event.
