Primavera Porto lineup revealed: No LCD or Radiohead but Air, Sigur Ros, PJ Harvey, Beach House & more
Taking place the week after Primavera Sound in Barcelona, Primavera Porto has a similar if scaled-down vibe.
This year’s festival takes place from June 9th to 11th and features headliners Air, Sigur Ros, PJ Harvey, Beach House, Brian Wilson, Moderat, Animal Collective and more among them. No Radiohead or LCD Soundsystem as Barcelona but that was to be expected.
Tickets are €90 now and I will say Porto is a lovely city to visit if you need an excuse.
