Primavera Sound 2026: Five Must‑See Acts
🎤 Barcelona‑Born Rapper: “Main Course” on Fire
A rising star from Barcelona first caught attention as a bet on the festival page, but she proudly calls herself a “main course” in her latest single. Known for spitting verses that hit straight to the jaw, she has quickly become one of Spain’s top rappers. Her newest release, the short EP “2070”, showcases her sharp flow and relentless energy.
When & Where: Thursday 4, Schwarzkopf stage, 7:55 p.m.
🎶 Jenny Lewis: From Child Star to Indie‑Rock Icon
Before launching a successful solo pop career, Jenny Lewis starred as a child actress and later front‑wrote the beloved indie‑rock band Rilo Kiley. The group’s 2000s sound still resonates, and their recent reunion brought back fan‑favorites like “Silver lining.” Expect a set that blends nostalgic indie rock with her polished pop sensibility.
When & Where: Friday 5, West stage, 7:50 p.m.
🎨 Art‑Rock Duo: Genre‑Bending Brilliance
Highlighted multiple times in the New York Times critics’ best‑of‑2025 lists, this art‑rock duo (performing live as a quartet) dropped the LP “It’s a beautiful place.” Their talent lies in weaving several genres into a single track while delivering elusive, thought‑provoking lyrics—a formula that earns both critical praise and crowd excitement.
When & Where: Friday 5th, Port stage, 9:00 p.m.
🤘 Javi Calvo: Filmmaker Turns Punk Frontman
Javi Calvo first turned heads at Primavera Sound 2025 when a video of him jumping on rubber knees went viral. A year later, the award‑winning filmmaker leads a punk band with a strong queer edge, delivering high‑octane, socially charged performances that keep audiences guessing what’s next.
When & Where: Friday 5th, Port stage, 3:15 a.m. (late‑night surprise set)
