Dorian Electra, Yo La Tengo, American Football and more to play Primavera Sound Barcelona a la Ciutat shows

Today, the first wave of artists for Primavera a la Ciutat - the city festival aspect of Primavera Sound Barcelona - has been unveiled. Taking place in six venues over four days, the series of 47 shows will run in the days surrounding the main weekend in the city’s Parc del Fòrum.

Among the list of just-announced names are former DIY digital cover star Dorian Electra, midwest emo mainstays American Football, and Yo La Tengo, who’ll deliver a special covers set in tribute to some of their favourite bands. Elsewhere, alt-rock will be well represented by the likes of Water From Your Eyes, Model/Actriz, Militarie Gun and Mandy, Indiana, while South Korea’s Balming Tiger and NYC’s The Lemon Twigs will also be making appearances.

Primavera a la Ciutat is set to take place from Monday 27th May - Wednesday 29th May, with a final day on Sunday 2nd June serving as a celebratory conclusion to the whole weekend.

Tickets for the programme will be available to those who have full festival tickets for Primavera Sound Barcelona 2024, and there will also be some for non-festival ticket holders on sale via DICE. Find out more info here, and check out the full lineup poster below.
