Groups and artists taking to the stage for one of Europe’s biggest independent and alternative music festivals include Arcade Fire, The xx, Frank Ocean, Grace Jones, Slayer, Solange, Bon Iver, Aphex Twin, Flying Lotus, The Magnetic Fields and Mac DeMarco.

The festival also seeks to bring music to the city in general with initiatives such as Primavera als Barris and Primavera als Bars, consisting of free performances at cultural centres and bars to promote up-and-coming local talent and offer more intimate shows.
