Festival season 2025 may have only just finished, but Primavera Sound Barcelona is already looking ahead to next summer, having just revealed that The Cure, Doja Cat, The xx, and Gorillaz will headline in 2026. 

The 24th edition of the iconic festival is set to be more expansive than ever before, with Robert Smith’s legendary goth-rockers standing side by side with the pop-rap titan, the beloved indie-electro outfit, and Damon Albarn’s seminal animated band (who’ll no doubt be airing cuts from their recently announced new album ‘The Mountain’). 

Elsewhere on the bill, Primavera will welcome pop phenomenon Addison Rae, shoegaze pioneers My Bloody Valentine, and September 2025 DIY cover stars Big Thief, as well as cult sensations like Lambrini Girls, Cameron Winter, Water From Your Eyes, and many, many more. 

Primavera Sound Barcelona 2026 will take place from 4th-6th June, with an additional opening day taking place on Wednesday (3rd June) and the festival’s electronica-focused party, Primavera Bits, happening on Sunday (7th June). 

Tickets will go on general sale at 11:00 CEST on 30th September. Find out more via the festival’s website, and check out the full 2026 lineup below.
