Primavera 2026: The Cure, My Bloody Valentine, The xx

The Cure, Doja Cat, the xx, Gorillaz, Massive Attack, Addison Rae and My Bloody Valentine lead another drool-worthy lineup for the Primavera Sound festival, which will take place June 4-6 at Parc del Forum alongside the Atlantic Ocean in Barcelona.

Both the xx and My Bloody Valentine have been inactive since 2018, while the Cure have only played three times since wrapping an extensive 2023 tour. Gorillaz will be promoting their guest-packed new album, The Mountain, and return to Primavera following a headlining appearance in 2022.

Also set to appear at next year’s festival are Peggy Gou, Skrillex, PinkPantheress, Mac DeMarco, Lola Young, Big Thief, Little Simz, Rilo Kiley, Men I Trust, Slowdive, Father John Misty, Role Model, Blood Orange, Alex G, Carl Cox, Panda Bear, Wet Leg, Matmos, Merzbow, Knocked Loose and Ravyn Lenae.

Beyond the festival, Primavera will also offer Primavera Pro — a four-day gathering of panels and programming with music industry professionals. Click here for tickets, which go on sale to the general public on Sept. 29.

Primavera earned plaudits in 2025 for its all-female headliner lineup, consisting of Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan and Charli xcx.
