“In my humble opinion, Barcelona's Primavera Sound is the best festival in Europe. On a purely practical level the layout is super easy to navigate, the food slaps, and everything sounds amazing despite the site being positioned literally on the Balearic Sea. The line-up is always wildly varied so you can watch, for example, Jane Birkin croon along with a full symphonic orchestra immediately followed by Mike Patton fronting a hardcore punk band. With plenty of places to sit and chill (including an actual beach on site) it's easily one of the most relaxing festivals on offer. It's basically like going on a beach holiday with a bunch of the greatest artists in the world.”

“Primavera Sound - it's a holiday to sunny Spain and one of the best festivals of the year all in one. I defy anyone to find a line-up that's as consistently top-notch year-on-year as Primavera's, and when you combine that with drinking beers on the beach and watching the sun come up each morning, after a night of music and madness, it's the perfect weekend away.”

“Five nights of blissful debauchery, dancing and staying up to watch the sun rise from the beach, and a line-up always packed with exciting new talent and music's biggest icons: Barcelona’s Primavera Sound is my favourite festival in Europe.”
