At a Glance: How to Watch Primavera Sound Barcelona
In addition to Amazon Music, fans will be able to stream the festival on Twitch and Prime Video. While Prime Video costs $14.99 a month and Amazon Music costs $10.99/mo., Primavera Sound will be streaming for free on each service's webpage, and signing up is not required. Amazon Music also launched a merch shop for Doja Cat, featuring T-shirts and sweatshirts, which you can check out here.
The livestream will include full sets from acts like Gorillaz, Skrillex, Wet Leg, Father John Misty, Addison Rae, Ethel Cain, the xx, the Cure, Doja Cat, Geese, and others. That means that some acts, like Massive Attack, Rilo Kiley, and Slowdive will not be streaming.
Primavera Sound runs five days, with a free first day featuring bands including Wet Leg and Yard Act. The final day, billed as Primavera Bits, will feature a “daytime dancefloor,” with DJ sets from Carl Cox and Blond:ish.
Headliners on the main festival days are Doja Cat, Massive Attack, and Bad Gyal on Thursday, the Cure, Addison Rae, and Skrillex on Friday, and the xx, Gorillaz, and My Bloody Valentine on Saturday. The festival, including full festival access and day tickets, sold out for the second year in a row.
Primavera is also famous for its late-night sets, with acts on the bill starting as late as 4:30 am The earliest acts start at 4:30 pm, and headliners take the stage anywhere between 10 pm and 1 am (for fans streaming from the US, New York is six hours behind Barcelona).
The Amazon livestream comes as streaming services have increasingly invested in live music. In addition to Primavera, Amazon Music is the home of Stagecoach, and in May, Disney announced it would make Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and Austin City Limits available on both Disney+ and Hulu. And of course, there's YouTube, which draws millions of viewers with its free Coachella livestream.
