The Scene: For fifteen years, Primavera Sound (translated as “Spring Sound”) has been kicking off the Spanish festival season with a stacked weekend of indie rock. The bulk of the event takes place north of the city at the The Fòrum.
100 NOS Notes: Back in 2009 when we started Music Festival Junkies, Primavera Sound was one of the first festivals that caught our imagination. Each year they release a lineup that just fires on every cylinder of indie rock love so we knew that this would be the perfect kickoff festival. The added bonus of spending of week in Barcelona is just the icing on this festival cake.
