The golden hour light bounces off Parc del Fòrum’s titanium waves as 200,000 people collectively hold their breath—the first bass drop of the weekend is coming. This is Primavera Sound, the festival that transforms Barcelona’s waterfront into a sprawling, sun-drenched laboratory of sound, where indie darlings, electronic pioneers, and stadium legends collide under the same perfect sky.
