Primavera Sound is an annual music festival that takes place in Barcelona, Spain.The festival is held within the Parc del Fòrum leisure site—located approximately 6 km north east from the center of Barcelona—in the Diagonal Mar area of the Sant Martí district, by the coast of the Balearic Sea. The event is one of the largest music festivals in Spain, with an attendance rate of more than 100,000. The festival is noted for its eclectic lineup, focus on independent music, and as a showcase for newly established international and domestic acts.
A second festival, NOS Primavera Sound, has since been introduced by the promoters of the Barcelona edition. The event takes place in Porto, Portugal over the weekend following the Barcelona edition, and shares a similar line-up of acts.
