W& I: George Gray
After Wet-Leg delivered a ferocious set on the jornada inaugural of Primavera Sound 2026, our team, just hours out from the starting gun on this year’s first full day, gave us their visions of what might be set to come last night.
One thing at a festival like Primavera that’s guaranteed is good music. With a line-up like today’s, boasting acts such as Fcukers, Men I trust, Jasmine.4T and many more, you could happily bounce from stage to stage in the sea-front Parc del Forum.
However, successfully falling into the cliche, us Brits have shown there is one thing that is not always guaranteed, the sun. Now sheltered in a rooftop café, we bear witness to a thunderstorm brewing over the Collserola hills. It’s heading in one direction, the festival. But, if anything could be the perfect cocktail for a Massive Attack headline set, that has already been teed as a political statement to remember.
In the meantime, check out below how our team’s predictions looked as we left the festival last night, predictions that still may come true…
Tilly: Primavera day one, the countdown has officially begun. I picture a cold drink in one hand, filled with bubbling anticipation for the cool jazz of Berlioz, the mesmerising melodies of TV Girl, and the ethereal excitement of Florence Road. Feet sore from running from one set to another, Plentitude to Port, the evening sun signalling the evening is only just beginning. It is sure to be a weekend to remember.
Rafe: With just hours until primavera beckons its main event, I’m imagining the ethereal whispers of Berlioz’s laid back jazzy grooves will be serenading me into twilight. From 7pm on the Plentitude stage, the South Africa born musician will be waving a soulful goodbye to the waning sun as it seeps into the Barcelona horizon with a delicate fusion of jazz, low-fi
house and deep house.
Freya: Encapsulated in the whirlwind of Primavera Sound, hours from now crowds will be massing at the Occident Stage. Positioned under the beating Barcelona sunshine, I envision myself swallowed among the crowd awaiting the hypnotic, dreamy, lo-fi set of TV Girl. The upbeat, retro soundtrack transcends the audience as we enter into the long night ahead.
Will these predictions ring true? Will the ASBO team survive? I’m sure they will… and at that I’m sure they’ll be grooving and moving into the early hours here on the Mediterranean Barna coastline.
