I can’t wait for Lorde to drop the album so I can pretend no other music exists for 2 years straight.

Most of the artists from the canceled 2021 festival will remain on the lineup for 2022. They’ll also be joined by dozens of new names.

The festival has also announced the creation of Fundació Primavera Sound with an initial endowment of 200,000 euros. The aim of the endowment is to bring together the corporate social responsibility actions of the festival, the day-to-day life of Sant Adrià de Besòs and the neighbourhoods of Besòs i el Maresma and Diagonal Mar, where its headquarters will be located.
According to a May 21 website post, the foundation’s headquarters will be “a space where music, education, social integration, feminism and sustainability meet to become the focus of the new institution.”
