Primavera Sound 2020

Allegedly moving to 9th-11th September....

Lots in Barcelona already unavailable to book, seems more like they're just no accepting bookings at the moment though, rather than half the city being booked out already.

Parklife and Lovebox have moved to that weekend already, speculation that All Points East will be moving to a weekend around then too.

Is there anything online about this?

officially, no.

Some chatter on efests about it though, including one poster who seemingly knows someone at PS (and called the 2020 date move early), and another person whose friend runs a LiveNation festival and said the same.

the hotel opposite the site where lots of artists/staff stay is apparently booked out that whole weekend too.

Could be a different weekend in September, or maybe even late August/early October, but either way, it seems June isn't happening.

Really? I kinda suspected they might do this. I have my ticket for last year's one which is valid for 2021, but I've held off booking flights and accomodation because I thought maybe the usual end of May / start of June would be too soon for it this year, for the obvious reason. Haven't read through the thread, but what I can say is there is always accomodation to be had in Barcelona city centre even shortly before it. (I've been going for years).
Must investigate this! I'd be happier if it was put back to September, hopefully this whole shít show will be behind us then and it'll be a brilliant buzz.

ballache. Had hopes for this.

Quite possibly the same lineup over two weekends, like Coachella? They’re gonna have a lot of holdover tickets now, if they do the same gigs twice, maybe it ensures that a tonne of people don’t lose out. (Already planted the seed of a week away should I be wrong though!!)

two weekends/11 days confirmed. Your ticket let's you choose one weekend or purchase upgrade to both

PRIMAVERA ...ANNIVERSARY

Primavera Sound 2022 will run for two weekends in Barcelona and Sant Adrià de Besòs to celebrate its 20th anniversary
May 21, 2021

Two years without Primavera Sound could only result in a Primavera Sound like no other. The twentieth anniversary of the Barcelona festival, after the enforced fallow due to the postponement of the 2020 and 2021 editions, will be the most important edition in its history. In tune with the expectations generated and the desire of the fans, Primavera Sound will multiply its duration in 2022: from Thursday 2nd to Sunday 12th June, over 400 artists will perform in an unprecedented lineup for an urban festival worldwide. This was announced this morning at a press conference by the festival directors Alberto Guijarro and Alfonso Lanza, accompanied by the mayor of Barcelona,Ada Colau.

There will be 11 days of uninterrupted concerts that will have their main days in the Parc del Fòrum during two weekends, from June 2nd to 4th and from June 9th to 11th, and that on Sunday, June 12th, will close with the Brunch -On The Beach party a real feast of live music. In between, from June 5th to 8th, a spectacular edition of Primavera a la Ciutat will spread over 150 concerts around different venues in Barcelona,while Primavera Pro will also strengthen its relevance as a strategic meeting point for the industry. Given the rumours and the curiosity provoked by the new festival logo, it should be clarified that the weekend lineups will be completely different from one another, except for some prominent artists who will play at both. We are proud to confirm that most of the artists of the 2021 edition will remain at the festival and will be joined by dozens and dozens of new names that will, as always, reflect the essence of contemporary music.

The challenge is enormous, but so is the exceptional nature of the situation: when confronted with a mortally wounded industry, the only way is a superlative response. In the face of two years with practically no work or revenue for artists and their teams, concert venues and all sectors directly or indirectly involved in live music, the largest edition of Primavera Sound ever seen.

At the same time, today we announce the creation of the Fundació Primavera Sound, which is born with the aim of bringing together all the corporate social responsibility actions that were already taking place in the festival to expand, focus and integrate them into the day-to-day life of Sant Adrià de Besòs and the neighbourhoods of Besòs i el Maresme and Diagonal Mar, where its headquarters will be located. It will be a space where music, education, social integration, feminism and sustainability meet and become the focus of the new institution, which has been created with an initial endowment of 200,000 euros.

But first, we must unveil the impressive lineup that will take us back to the Parc del Fòrum next year. Next Tuesday, May 25th, practically all the artists who will participate in the twentieth anniversary of Primavera Sound will be revealed. This week Antònia Font was the first band to be confirmed: the Mallorca band will reunite to perform at the festival after announcing their separation in 2013, now as the unequivocal reference of pop sung in Catalan. Their return was anticipated by one of the now traditional giant banners hanging in the centre of Barcelona, this time bearing the word “alegria!”. It was obvious that it was the Balearic group, just as it is obvious that the twentieth anniversary of Primavera Sound, that of the extended edition, that of the two weekends, that of anticipation, is going to be the one at which joy returns to live music.
