Do you remember waiting for the Spring Festival when you were younger? And the illusion that came along with the flowers’ season? In Barcelona, everyone dreams of the Primavera Sound festival, which is about to begin. The most famous Groups and DJs from all continents, will gather in the capital of Catalunya at this huge concert from the 22nd to the 26th of May. Among the performers you’ll find Django Django, Phosphorescent, Sr. Chinarro and Dj Koze. More than a hundred concerts concentrated in just one week.
The 13th edition
This is the thirteenth edition of the festival, and despite the economic crisis, the event’s organizers were able to gather around 120 groups from all around the world. In the Barcelona edition I recommend you the performance of Aliment, The Bots and Delorean at the Parc del Forum and John Talabot, Veronica Falls and Poolside at the Apolo on the 22nd of May. On the 23rd, Animal Collective, Bob Mould, Four Tet, Degreaser, Fucked Up, Death Grips, Grizzly Bear and Dinosaur Jr. at Parc del Fòrum. On the 24th of May you can’t miss the performance of Barry Hogan Dj, Daughter, Daniel Johnston, Daughn Gibson, How To Dress Well, La Bien Querida, Matthew E. White, Disclosure, Shellac, The Knife, Titus Andronicus, Neurosis y Guardian Alien, at Parc del Fòrum. On the 25th of May at the same venue, we’ll enjoy the performance of Los Planetas, Adam Green y Binki Shapiro, Django Django, Dexys, Extraperlo, Dj Koze, Dead Can Dance, Camera Obscura, Phosphorescent, Betunizer, Crystal Castles and 2 or 3 dozens of other groups waiting to offer a great show. To close the event on the 26th of May will have the cahce to enjoy the performances of Allah, The Haxan Cloak, Vactor, Miquel Serra and Merchandise at Apolo and Come, The Orchids, Sr. Chinarro and Julie Doiron at BARTS Barcelona.
Well, the ticket to attend all concerts and venues costs 160 Euro. However, keep in mind the countless party hours you’ll have the chance to enjoy, and the expected shows are very varied. We speak about over 100 live bands and a city that has dual appeal because it’s got sea. I can’t think of a better combination. And that is what draws many of its visitors.
Mini Music Day
On April 21 the Día de la Minimúsica (Day of Music for Children) took place. A festival with activities for parents and children, such as karaoke, storytelling, workshops and other things all about music and more. It is the best way to introduce children to the concept of concerts and festivals. Although the Día de la música has already passed this year you can visit the website for more information on other events for the little ones.
A countless list of groups and DJ’s come together from the 22nd to the 26th of May in Barcelona. This is a second to none macro festival for the party animals. You should come and experience an authentic musical explosion. And best of all, you do not need to leave your kids at home.
