Primavera Sound 2025 is a music festival scheduled to take place between 5 June and 7 June 2025 in Barcelona, Spain. It will be the 23rd edition of the festival.

Background

On 24 October 2024, Primavera Sound announced the initial lineup for the festival's 2025 edition, featuring three female pop stars as headliners: Charli XCX, Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan. Charli declared that the trio were the "holy trinity", and the festival said: "The fact of having three female artists headlining a festival like this is especially symbolic if we consider that they also lead an artistic line-up that is gender-balanced. This has been the hallmark of Primavera Sound since the unforgettable 2019 edition, which for the first time balanced a historically uneven scale. This closes, finally."[2][3] Tom Breihan wrote for Stereogum that Primavera "booked all three main characters from 2024’s pop girl summer as headliners".[4]

The festival also announced a new LCD Soundsystem album in 2025 along with their appearance, though recanted that claim a day later.[5][6] On 20 November 2024, the festival sold out its weekend tickets for the first time in a regular edition since 2016.[7]

Reception

In November 2024, Stereogum said that "rock-leaning institutions embracing pop is not a new phenomenon" but described the Primavera headliners as "a new frontier in poptimism."[8]
