Primavera Sound has dropped its 2026 line-up, arriving earlier than ever in the festival’s history. Headliners span generations and genres: The Cure return after releasing “Songs of a Lost World” in 2024, Doja Cat and The xx join the bill, and Damon Albarn brings Gorillaz back with a new album, “The Mountain”. Massive Attack will make their long-awaited festival debut, while My Bloody Valentine, Addison Rae, Mac DeMarco, PinkPantheress, Peggy Gou, Skrillex, Little Simz, Big Thief, Slowdive, Wet Leg, Father John Misty, Blood Orange, Alex G, Dijon, and Ethel Cain are among the many other names revealed. In total, 150 acts have been confirmed.
Primavera’s reputation for eclectic curation holds true this year: expect everything from Einstürzende Neubauten and Knocked Loose to Lambrini Girls, Men I Trust, Overmono, Joan La Barbara, and Brìghde Chaimbeul. Rising artists including Lola Young, Kneecap, rusowsky, and PinkPantheress sit alongside cult favourites like Rilo Kiley and Texas Is the Reason, making for a line-up that stretches across eras and styles.
