Primavera Sound Announces New Los Angeles Festival - Pitchfork

Primavera Sound—the annual music festival held in Barcelona and Porto—has announced it is expanding to the United States for the first time. Primavera Sound Los Angeles will be held September 19-20 at the Los Angeles State Historic Park. The new fest will be co-produced by Live Nation alongside the festival’s directors.

“We have been thinking about Los Angeles for many years now, and the celebration of our 20th anniversary felt like the perfect timing for the decision of crossing overseas,” said co-director Gabi Ruiz in a press release. “Our goal is to bring the Primavera Sound spirit and vibe to cities with a similar feel: creative, colourful and welcoming. And with this, to give something new to the city, to show a new side and new possibilities to be built and harvested together. So it’s a dream to finally say: yes, it had to be Los Angeles.”

Early bird tickets for Primavera Sound Los Angeles go on sale June 7, 2019. The festival promises “a lineup featuring the classics, icons of today, and artists of tomorrow during an incredible weekend of music without stylistic barriers that includes a public commitment to gender equality.” This year’s Primavera Sound in Barcelona, which is currently underway, saw a lineup comprised of over 50% women. This year’s Portgual edition of Primavera, which began running in 2012, takes place June 6-8.
