Primavera Sound has been hit by “adverse weather conditions”, with Alex G and Mac DeMarco’s sets cancelled and stages being temporarily suspended.
Today (June 4) is the opening day of the festival at the Parc del Fòrum in Barcelona, with tonight’s headliners set to be Doja Cat, Massive Attack and Bad Gyal. It runs for the next two days, with The Cure, The xx, Gorillaz, My Bloody Valentine, Addison Rae and Skrillex also topping the bill.
However, earlier this evening, the big screens on the main stages showed a warning message, explaining that “due to adverse weather conditions, performances on this stage have been temporarily suspended.”
“Please remain calm and follow the instructions of the festival’s security and staff teams,” it continued. “Stay tuned to the festival screens and official channels for further updates. Thank you for your cooperation.”
