Primavera Sound has revealed the line-up for its 25th anniversary edition, and the 2027 programme confirms just how central electronic music has become to one of Europe’s most influential festivals.
The Barcelona event will return from June 2 to 6, 2027, with a broad programme that moves across alternative music, pop, experimental sounds and electronic culture.
Among the biggest electronic names announced are Skrillex, Four Tet, Richie Hawtin, Dixon, Bicep, Joy Orbison, John Talabot and Prospa, alongside a special Skrillex B2B Ninajirachi performance. DJ Mag

That programming choice is significant.
Primavera Sound has long been known for building line-ups that move between scenes rather than separating them into rigid categories. The 2027 edition pushes that philosophy further by placing major electronic artists next to acts including Massive Attack, The Chemical Brothers, FKA twigs, Robyn, Phoebe Bridgers and Fontaines D.C.

For electronic music fans, the presence of artists from several generations makes the line-up particularly interesting.
Richie Hawtin represents one of techno’s most influential figures, Four Tet continues to move freely between club music, experimental electronics and large-scale festival sets, while Skrillex remains one of the most globally recognisable names in contemporary electronic music.
Bicep, Joy Orbison and Prospa add another layer, connecting the festival to modern UK electronic culture and the continued crossover between underground club sounds and major festival audiences.
The Skrillex B2B Ninajirachi set is also one of the most unexpected combinations announced so far, bringing together a superstar producer and one of the newer artists to emerge from the international electronic scene.
The result is a programme that does not treat electronic music as a separate side attraction.
Instead, it places DJs and producers directly inside Primavera’s wider artistic identity.
For a festival celebrating its 25th anniversary, that feels like an accurate reflection of how much the live music landscape has changed.
Electronic artists are no longer simply filling late-night stages.
They are increasingly becoming central figures in some of the world’s most important multi-genre festivals.
