Primavera Sound 2019

Primavera Sound Barcelona was founded by Pablo Soler with the idea of bringing a variety of independent artists from across a wide swath of genres, along with established artists, to an urban environment in spring; primavera means spring in Spanish. The first iteration, April 2001, with four stages and 19 artists including Armand Van Helden and Los Planetas, attracted 8, 000 people. From that point forward, Primavera has been the definition of experienced explosive growth: to 18, 000 people in 2002; 24, 000 people in 2003, and now boasts over 40, 000 people per day. Growth New VenueThe growth, exponential and fast, led organizers to abandon their initial site, Poble Espanol, an open-air architectural museum. More Info below.
