Spain’s Primavera Sound Announces 2023 Lineup: Blur, Halsey, Kendrick Lamar and More

Primavera Sound has announced its 2023 lineup for Barcelona and Madrid, and, as expected, it is large. The festival is happening across the two Spanish cities in early June 2023. There’ll also be a third event held in Porto, Portugal, the lineup for which is to be announced.

Topping the bill are Britpop quartet Blur, alt-pop megastar Halsey, Compton rapper Kendrick Lamar, synthpop lifers Depeche Mode, Catalan pop star Rosalía and the DJ born Adam Wiles (i.e., Calvin Harris).

The 2023 edition marks the first year that the festival will be held in the Spanish capital Madrid alongside its regular homes in Barcelona and Porto. The Porto lineup is yet to be announced but, based on previous years, punters can expect similar lineups at the Portuguese incarnation.

In the meantime cast your eyes across the lineup below, with the Barcelona and Madrid lineups identical over consecutive weeks in early June.
