Primavera Sound 2018 Lineup

Primavera Sound 2018 Lineup

Primavera Sound always comes with a pretty serious lineup. Even amongst the big European fests — which often boast more varied and interesting lineups than the more homogenized American options, especially in 2018 — it stands out as one of the best, and sometimes even the very best. The 2018 iteration is anchored by headline sets from Björk, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, the National, Migos, and Arctic Monkeys, with other big names like the War On Drugs, Vince Staples, HAIM, Father John Misty, Lorde, and A$AP Rocky rounding out the lineup before you even get to some of the cool surprises, like Spiritualized accompanied by an orchestra and choir (!). That’s the poster above, and the whole lineup is listed below by day.
