Barcelona, Spain music festival ‘Primavera Sound’ has been cancelled/postponed for 2021. The gathering was set to take place from June 2 – 6, with performances by Bauhaus, The Strokes, Massive Attack, The Jesus & Mary Chain, Iggy Pop, The National, Beck, Gorillaz, Kurt Vile, Lingua Ignota and many others. The fest plans to return in 2022.
Organizers say:
We will dance in 2022
It is with great sadness that we must announce that the 20th anniversary of Primavera Sound Barcelona is postponed until 2022 due to force majeure.
We have tried everything, but we have now made this very painful decision due to the uncertainty surrounding the legal framework for large events on the original dates of the festival -from June 2nd to 6th-, which, added to the restrictions that currently exist, mean that we cannot work normally on the preparation of the festival nor ensure that, once the date arrives, it can be celebrated.
Thank you to all the artists, agencies, sponsors, production companies and workers involved in everything necessary to hold Primavera Sound. And to the attendees, our family, thank you for your faith and love. We owe you the best edition of Primavera Sound, and we are already working on it.
Like last year, we are going to offer all ticket holders the possibility to keep their tickets for next year. It will also be possible to request a refund of the ticket from Wednesday, June 2nd, which is when the Primavera Sound Barcelona 2022 line-up will be revealed.
We will make it doubly good next year.
Until then, take good care of yourself. See you soon.
