Barcelona’s Primavera Sound festival will return in May 2015, with, as usual, a ridiculously impressive and incredibly eclectic lineup of quality artists from around the globe.
Here’s just a selection of the huge names who will be taking to the stage in Spain: The Black Keys, James Blake, JUNGLE, The Replacements, Sun Kil Moon, alt-J, Belle & Sebastian, Sleater-Kinney, Patti Smith, Run The Jewels, Swans, Interpol, Ratking, Benjamin Booker, Caribou and Tyler, The Creator.
What’s more, fans of The Strokes will be spoiled for choice at Primavera this year; not only are The Strokes set to perform, frontman Julian Casablancas will also play with his other project Julian Casablancas + The Voidz, with guitarist Albert Hammond, Jr also set to show off his solo material.
American singer-songwriter Patti Smith will play two sets at Primavera, one being an acoustic and spoken word set, the other being a performance of her 1975 album Horses, with a full band. Leading Primavera’s rather small Aussie contingent this year are Melbourne band Twerps, Sydney group Movement, Victoria’s D.D. Dumbo and ARIA Award-winning producer extraordinaire, Chet Faker.
Primavera Sound 2014 was headlined by the likes of Nine Inch Nails, Disclosure, Queens Of The Stone Age, Neutral Milk Hotel, Pixies and Kendrick Lamar.
Primavera Sound 2015 will take place in Barcelona between 25th and 31st May. Watch the festival’s lineup come to life in a retro video game thanks to the video teaser below, and view the full lineup below that.
