The summer festival season has swung into effect and two of the most exciting festivals take place this weekend; Sasquatch and Primavera. While we’ve already released our Sasquatch Preview Playlist, it’s time to get read for the festivities taking place in Barcelona, Spain this weekend. The San Miguel Primavera Sound Festival takes place from Wednesday the 25th through Sunday the 29th. However, the bulk of the music is Thursday-Saturday. So we’ve broken down those days and included some of the highlights. If you’re lucky enough to be in Barcelona, que te diviertas. If not, may this playlist offer some vicarious joy. The full line-up can be found here. Our full festival review will be out early next week.
