As always Primavera Sound keeps an eye on the local scene and, as well as the presence of Los Planetas in Parc del Fòrum, we will be able to see the Barcelona band Manel presenting their third record, John Talabot, our most internationally well known musician, the surrealist tinged pop of the Mallorca band Antònia Font, El Inquilino Comunista, historical band from the 90s, the powerful sound of Toundra from Madrid, Pony Bravo and Guadalupe Plata from Andalusia, Extraperlo’s elegant pop, the presentation of The Suicide Of Western Culture’s second album, the experimentation of Betunizer and other artists of the moment such as La Bien Querida, Tarántula, Fred I Son, La Brigada, The Free Fall Band, Hidrogenesse and L´Hereu Escampa.
Dance music and electronic pop will, as always, have their place at the festival. The sound adventures of Kieran Hebden with his band Four Tet, the new British house sensation Disclosure, Hot chip’s superlative pop and the overwhelming live performance of Simian Mobile Disco are the main draws in this section. We will also be able to see a special 80s set by Jackmaster and listen to the revisited italo disco from The Magician or kings of Californian daytime disco Poolside, along with Daphni the new Project from Dan Snaith (Caribou).
As well as the main programme, that will be performed across eight stages (including the Auditori), the Parc del Fòrum will be the site of other activities such as the record fair, traditional meeting point for national and international independent labels, the touring concert poster show Flatstock, that is coming back after the success of last year, and the children’s activity minimúsica, that will host a handful of concerts in which the bands adapt their repertoire for the little ones.
Primavera a la Ciutat will also put on other activities such as Primavera al Parc, Primavera als Clubs and the screening of music documentaries by Beefeater In-Edit.
