Primavera Sound 2026

[emmanuel]

Looks very good. Merzbow! And Slowdive as I predicted earlier. 

I don't see many bookings that look out of the ordinary or obviously reunions. Anything unexpected?

A Guy Called Gerald is a decent blast from the past, electronic-music wise

RILO KILEY ❤️

Soooo…how quickly does this usually sell out?

Texas Is The Reason is the "elder millennial/gen x indie reunion" band for this year.

Who do we think the Wednesday headliner is?

Best lineup since 2022 for me

Last year, exceptionally quickly. Probably due to the three pop headliners. Beyond that it's hard to tell. Maybe last years sellout pushed this to a level where it'll sell each year, or maybe the more traditional headline acts of the Cure and the xx alongside the pop ones might mean it slows down a little. 

Demand seems very high for tickets across the board, not just this festival. 

I have no experience of the secondary market for PS so no idea how good a chance you'd have if it did sell out.

Long-winded way of me saying, if you're very keen to go, I wouldn't wait too long, just in case.

I'm curious how many underground rap/hyperpop artists they'll have, as there are many hyped ones right now like fakemink, Feng, 2hollis, Nettspend, OsamaSon, Ninajirachi or Mechatok. Can totaly see them booking Frost Children, underscores and Jane Remover again. Hope we'll see Ecco2K and maybe even Bladee/Yung Lean back.

Damn, we got 5 of them already without Ciutat. Also Geese and Cameron Winter solo 😍😍😍

Hmm, maybe Peggy Gou, Mac DeMarco or Wet Leg given they played last year.

Same, this is the first time in a while that I don't need to look at the lineup for half an hour to count how many artists I want to see, this is stacked for me

 

Very happy with MBV, Slowdive, Massive Attack

Peggy you doesn’t seem like a Wednesday act at all

[chilirocker]

Love the lineup. Good to see the return to its soul. Feels like there are 1 or 2 headliners missing, no?

[UsernameHere]

I reckon Mac de Marco for Wednesday

Given it’s September there must have been someone they booked but who was under embargo.

Wet Leg seems like a good bet

[emmanuel]

So Radiohead will be added later? 😁

[jannybruck]

I think you're playing yourselves if you're expecting an extra headliner announced in future.

2023 still beats it (can't compete with the combo of Kendrick, Depeche Mode, Rosalia and Blur), but this is still excellent. 

[UsernameHere]

I need the poster but at a glance it seems well varied. Very excited for The Cure, MBV, Massive Attack, Slowdive and Kneecap. Plenty of others that I forgot will be great too but those are who immediately stood out to me. 

Would've really liked Clipse, Danny Brown and David Byrne but I didn't expect Massive Attack or Slowdive and although MBV were predicted I'm not sure I genuinely expected it so that's really nice.

Any tips on where to stay for easy access on public transport?

Anywhere within walking distance of a yellow line stop.

[BenjoDiMeo]

Feels a bit more "classic Primavera" than 2025

[manelrl]

- big thief, ethel cain, father john misty, gorillaz, kneecap, little simz, lola young, mac demarco, massive attack, peggy gou, role model, the xx
