Primavera Sound 2024
The Primavera Sound 2024 music festival took place from 30 May to 1 June at the Parc del Fòrum in Barcelona, Spain. The line-up was headlined by Pulp, Vampire Weekend and Justice on Thursday, Lana Del Rey, The National and Disclosure on Friday and SZA, PJ Harvey, Mitski and Charli XCX on Saturday.
It was the 22nd edition of the festival. On Wednesday, 29 May, Phoenix headlined the free "Jornada Inaugural" opening day concert on the Amazon Music stage at the Parc del Fòrum. Parc del Fòrum also hosted a "Brunch on the Beach" event on Sunday, 2 June, featuring DJ sets from performers including ANOTR and The Blessed Madonna. Primavera a la Ciutat continued to be held in smaller local venues throughout the city of Barcelona, featuring exclusive performances from groups such as The Chameleons and The Mountain Goats, as well as an intimate performance by The National in the 2,000-capacity Razzmatazz club.
Steve Albini, who performed at every Primavera Sound since 2008 with his band Shellac, died weeks before the festival. A stage was renamed after him in his honor.
The festival sold 268,000 tickets, an improvement from 2023, with over 130,000 unique visitors from 134 different countries. 59% of attendees came from overseas, and the United States, United Kingdom and Italy were the most represented foreign countries. Amazon Music livestreamed performances from six stages.
The line-up for the 2024 edition of Primavera Sound was released on 21 November 2023. It was advertised as showing "love for its own history", using a retro font that recalled a 1994 poster where the words "Primavera Sound" were first used to promote a series of concerts at the venue KGB in Barcelona. The initial line-up featured 42% female artists, 42% male artists and 15% mixed-gender artists, continuing Primavera Sound's mission of being the first major festival in the world to achieve a gender-balanced lineup under their tagline "The New Normal".
On 24 April 2024, Kim Petras cancelled her appearance at Primavera Sound, along with all other summer performances, due to a medical advisory.
Steve Albini, who performed at 15 editions of the festival with his band Shellac, including every edition since 2006 except for 2007, died of a heart attack on 7 May 2024. Shellac were scheduled to perform for a 16th time in 2024. In a statement, the festival said: "What are we going to do without you, Steve? After having welcomed them at 15 editions of the festival, it is impossible for us to imagine a Primavera Sound without him, because no band explains us better than Shellac."
On 14 May 2024, the festival announced that headliner FKA Twigs, who had previously cancelled her scheduled performance in 2023, cancelled again and would have her set postponed to 2025. The seafront stage for heavy music where Shellac were scheduled to play was renamed the Steve Albini stage, and it was announced that a listening party for the band's new album To All Trains would be held during Shellac's scheduled time slot, which Stereogum noted will "function as a kind of wake for Albini's fans". Bands such as Scowl, Gel and Brutus were assigned to the newly christened Albini stage.
