Primavera Sound Announces Los Angeles Festival

Primavera Sound, the international music festival that began with the flagship gathering in Barcelona, Spain, in 2001, has announced it will expand to include a new festival in Los Angeles next year.
The new event, Primavera Sound’s first in North America, will be co-produced by Live Nation and is set for Sept. 19–20, 2020. A limited amount of early-bird tickets will be available this Friday, June 7, at 9 a.m. PST.
“We have been thinking about Los Angeles for many years now, and the celebration of our 20th anniversary felt like the perfect timing for the decision of crossing overseas,” says Gabi Ruiz, a director for Primavera Sound, in a press announcement. “Our goal is to bring the Primavera Sound spirit and vibe to cities with a similar feel: creative, colourful and welcoming. And with this, to give something new to the city, to show a new side and new possibilities to be built and harvested together. So it’s a dream to finally say: yes, it had to be Los Angeles.”
Primavera Sound will also celebrate 20 years of its Barcelona iteration next year June 4–6 and will return to Porto, Portugal with NOS Primavera Sound June 11–13, along with a new fall Primavera Weekend offering in Benidorm, Spain, Nov. 8–9. The festival group’s official website also has a fifth slot in its lineup, marked with “???”
