The Primavera Sound music festival in Barcelona has been around since 2001 and has established itself as one of the biggest music festivals in Europe and the world. Set in Barcelona's Parc del Fòrum since 2005, it takes place, appropriately, in late Spring and features over 200 acts from all pop genres. Its popularity has resulted in spin-offs, starting in 2012 in Porto, then Los Angeles, Buenos Aires, São Paolo and Santiago de Chile in 2022.
In addition to performances at the festival grounds, venues around the city host performances as part of a parallel festival, Primavera a la ciutat, that features some artists performing at the main festival, but mostly additional artists. Festival passes allow entry to these concerts, but some additional tickets are available for sale separately.
