Primavera Sound organisers have put a strong focus on diversity and equality when announcing their line-up for next year.
In a press release, they say this is something they ‘should have done ages ago’. “Because, looking back over our previous line ups and despite the progress in the last few editions, we needed to go further,” it continues.
“If half of our audience is female, why shouldn’t half of our line up be so too? Why can’t there be equality in schedules, styles and stages? It has not been easy to fight against the inertia that has been passed down for so many years, but after all, if the future is female, what’s the point in waiting?”
Leading the announcement then are Solange, Tame Impala, Cardi B, J Balvin, Erykah Badu, Future, Janelle Monáe, Nas and Rosalía, who’ll be performing at Parc del Forum in Barcelona between May 30th-June 1st 2019.
