Primavera Sound 2026 Schedule and Artists by Day: From Doja Cat to Addison Rae, Gorillaz, The Cure, and More

The wait is finally over. Primavera Sound 2026 is here, and with its full schedule now confirmed, music fans around the world are racing to plan their days at Barcelona's iconic Parc del Fòrum.

The 24th edition of one of Europe's most celebrated and culturally influential music festivals takes place June 4–6, 2026, bringing together an extraordinary mix of legends, rising stars, and genre-defying acts.

This year's lineup is a masterclass in curation. Festival organizers have managed to balance nostalgia and the cutting edge, pairing rock icons with pop newcomers, experimental artists with mainstream sensations, and indie darlings with chart-topping hitmakers. With over 150 artists across multiple stages, the Primavera Sound 2026 lineup represents a bold, transgenerational statement about the state of music in 2026 — and a clear signal that Parc del Fòrum in Barcelona remains the capital of the global festival circuit.

For those unable to attend in person, the excitement extends beyond the festival grounds. For the fifth consecutive year, Amazon Music is producing and broadcasting an exclusive livestream of performances, running daily from 1:30 PM Eastern Daylight Time via Amazon Music's channels on Twitch and Prime Video. This means that even if you can't make it to Barcelona, some of the summer's most anticipated performances are only a screen away.

Rilo Kiley, Slowdive, Amaarae, PinkPantheress, and JADE round out a Friday lineup that spans post-punk, dream pop, electronic, Afropop, and everything in between.
