Primavera Sound 2022
The Primavera Sound 2022 music festival was held on 2 June to 12 June 2022 at Parc del Fòrum, in Barcelona and Sant Adrià del Besòs, Spain. After a two year hiatus due to social distancing restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic, the festival returned in 2022 in a new two-weekend format, doubling the capacity of years before. In between weekends Primavera a la Ciutat took place in different concert venues and clubs in downtown Barcelona, featuring many performances including 100 gecs, Boy Pablo, Rina Sawayama and King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard. The twentieth edition of Primavera Sound was considered an Event of Exceptional Public Interest by the Government's Ministry of Culture and Sports.The festival’s artist line-up included Beck, Dua Lipa, Gorillaz, Interpol, Jorja Smith, Lorde, Megan Thee Stallion, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Phoenix, Tame Impala, The National, The Strokes, Tyler, the Creator and Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Antònia Font and Pavement, who also served as headliners, reunited for their first concerts since 2013 and 2010 respectively. The event was marked by its diverse lineup and initial organisational difficulties, as well as the notable tensions between the City Council of Barcelona, the City Council of Sant Adrià del Besòs and co-director Gabi Ruiz about a possible relocation to Madrid. Despite initial controversies, resolutions came forward by increasing staff members and flowing communication with Mayor Ada Colau, who agreed to expand the festival's contract with the city until at least 2027.Around 460,500 people attended the festival in seven days, 65% of whom were foreign, and a large proportion of these were from the United Kingdom. The festival had a significant economic impact, with each spectator spending an estimated average of 1,423 euros. Several Barcelonian independent record stores and NGOs also had representation at the festival.
