The poster for the 2025 edition of Primavera Sound in Barcelona will have a female protagonist. The festival, which this year will be held in Barcelona from 5 to 7 June, It will feature three of today’s top music stars as headliners: Charli XCX, Sabrina Carpentiere Yes Roan Chapel. This is the trio chosen by the organization to feminize an event that will also be present LCD sound system, Fountains DCthe sisters Haim,Twigs FKA, Jamie XX or House on the beach.
But the highlight will be the trio that will make up the headliners, three of the artists of the moment who collectively accumulate more than 180 million monthly listens on Spotify with their new works. Sabrina Carpenter, nominated for a Grammy Award as a breakthrough artist with her fifth album Short n’ Sweet, has become the pop sensation of the moment despite having been in the industry for ten years, so much so that she will direct the film Christmas Special from Netflix. Chapell Roan experienced the same rise, for which she won the prize last September Artist of Revelation in MTV Video Music Awards.
Artists such as Elton John and Lady Gaga, in fact, have publicly confessed their devotion to the 26-year-old artist, who has become a reference for the LGTBI community despite her origins coming from an ultra-conservative family from Missouri. Chapell Roan’s success, buoyed by his presence on Tik Tok, skyrocketed in September 2023 with the release of his debut album The rise and fall of a Midwestern princess and with his concert at the latest edition of Coachella.
The trio of female stars is completed by Charli XCX who coined the adjective that accompanied the summer of generation Z: the snotty summer. What could be translated as brat was the name that the British woman chose for an album that went beyond the industry to become a reference for an entire generation. Anything can be right now brat Stars like Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande and Bon Iver have joined this trend, collaborating on the special edition that the artist made public just 10 days ago.
This female trio is the formula that Primavera Sound has been looking for for a year that will make us forget the problems of 2024 where the Latin American expansion has not been completed, just as it happened in 2023 in Madrid. The organization canceled the festivals it had planned in November and December in Buenos Aires, Sao Paulo, Asunción and Montevideo citing “external difficulties”, although the organization assures that it is working normally for the 2025 editions. Furthermore, the Municipality of Barcelona has now focused its attention on the Forum venue, where the music event will be held, in the face of persistent complaints about high noise levels from residents of the Sant Martí neighbourhood. Some complaints that would not jeopardize the continuity of the festival which respected the sound impact study.
The list of artists who will parade on the stages of Primavera Sound, whose tickets will go on sale on October 18th at 11 am, amounts to 147 with, for example, LCD sound system presented the new album and with the official anthem of the festival o Haim with his Californian pop. The seventies are ringing Clear, the new star of song French Zaho de Sagazanthe electronics of Jamie XXor hardcore Turnstile. The national presence will be that of Amaia, who will be touring her new album, scheduled for the end of this year or the beginning of next.
