To close the days of electronic, indie, rock and underground music characteristic of the festival, Brunch Electronik will feature sessions by techno artists such as ANOTR and The Blessed Madonna.

 

Primavera Sound 2024 tickets

The publication of the final poster means that full-festival tickets go up in price, with a further two rises to be expected as stocks of each "release" run out, and with tickets for individual days yet to come on stream. This was announced by the organization of Primavera Sound, which put the first passes for the Barcelona megafest on sale at the beginning of July, a few days after the end of the 2023 edition. Now, with the line up revealed, general sales began on Thursday November 23rd. The current price of a general full-festival ticket is 265 euros (plus distribution costs) and for a VIP season ticket, 495 euros (plus distribution costs). According to the Primavera Sound website, these prices will eventually rise to 325 euros and 545 euros respectively (plus those extras).

When is Primavera Sound 2024 being held?

Primavera Sound has been replicated in other cities for years - Porto, Los Angeles, Santiago de Chile, Buenos Aires and São Paulo - but the Madrid edition was cancelled after being held without success last year, part of the problem being the lack of a suitable space. In addition, despite the controversies and rumours that warned that the festival could not be held in Barcelona due to construction work, Primavera Sound will finally be held as planned. It is coming to the Parc del Fòrum in Barcelona from Wednesday 29th May to Sunday 2nd June - yes, the "traditional" format centred on one extended and stretched-out weekend.
