Primavera Sound have announced the full line-up for their 2025 Barcelona edition with Charli XCX, Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter all set to headline.
The 23rd edition of the festival, returning to the Parc del Fòrum from June 4-8 in the Spanish city, will also see performances from LCD Soundsystem, FKA Twigs, HAIM, Jamie xx, Fontaines D.C., Beach House, IDLES, Clairo, Turnstile and more.
The initial gender-balanced line-up of 147 artists also features TV On The Radio, Sturgill Simpson, ANOHNI and the Johnsons, Floating Points, Stereolab, Spiritualized and Parcels among many more. Check out the full line-up here.
Primavera Sound will once again offer a whole week of events across the city, with an opening day, closing party and a parallel programme to be revealed in the coming months.
Tickets will be on sale from 11am on Monday October 28, with details and registration available here.
Charli XCX’s headline slot comes after years of becoming a festival favourite, choosing last year’s Primavera to debut ‘Everything Is Romantic’ ahead of the release of the universally-acclaimed album ‘Brat’ and the cultural phenomenon it became.

Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter are both making their debuts in headlining a major European festival. Roan has become internationally huge after the massive but slow-burning success of her 2023 debut album ‘The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess‘ – becoming a vocal advocate against overzealous fandom in the face of fame – while Carpenter has been enjoying a sold-out arena tour after her viral hit ‘Espresso‘ and platinum-selling sixth album ‘Short N’ Sweet‘.
LCD Soundsystem also feature on the bill following the surprise premiere of a new single ‘X-Ray Eyes‘ leading to speculation of their long-awaited new album, and TV On Radio who recently announced a run of reunion tour dates for this winter.
This summer’s edition of the acclaimed Barcelona festival saw sets from the likes of Pulp, Lana Del Rey, The National, SZA and Troye Sivan.
In a four-star review of the festival, NME concluded: “After a weekend in its midst, it’s not hard to see why Primavera Sound is so beloved. There are few gripes to be had here, and the main one is the several agonising clashes you have to do battle with each day – a problem that can only come with having such a stacked line-up in the first place. A fun, freeing few days in Barcelona full of great music is never something to complain about, though. Roll on 2025.”
