Primavera Sound Festival Faces Weather-Related Cancellations: Alex G, Mac DeMarco Sets Scrapped Amid Heavy Rain in Barcelona
Primavera Sound in Barcelona has been disrupted by severe weather conditions, leading to the cancellation of Alex G’s performance on the Revolut Stage and Mac DeMarco’s set on the Occident Stage, with both acts removed from the festival lineup due to persistent heavy rainfall.
The festival’s opening day at Parc del Fòrum commenced on June 4, featuring headliners including Doja Cat, Massive Attack, and Bad Gyal, alongside performances by Gorillaz, The xx, and Skrillex. However, early this evening, main-stage screens displayed emergency messages instructing attendees to remain calm and follow staff guidance amid suspended performances, with festival organizers urging attendees to monitor official channels for updates.

Heavy rain caused closures at Estrella Damm and Revolut stages, with the 9:30pm announcement citing unsafe conditions. BBC Weather reports a 90% probability of rain lasting until 2am, though Massive Attack’s Estrella Damm show (9:55pm), Doja Cat’s Revolut Stage set (11:30pm), and Bad Gyal’s late-night slot (1:20am) remain scheduled. Amazon Music’s livestream will cover select acts, including The Cure and Gorillaz, amid ongoing disruptions. Festival organizers emphasized safety and thanked attendees for their cooperation.
