Primavera Sound
Primavera Sound is a music festival held every year in June in Barcelona. This festival is one of the biggest in Europe and attracts more than 200,000 visitors every year. In this edition there will be more than 400 musicians who will hostmore than 500 performances to all kinds of spectators, as the musical genre varies from rock to urban music.
Although the festival officially starts on Monday 29 May and ends on Sunday 4 June, the main performances will take place from 1 to 3 June in the Forum Park. The headliners will be artists and groups such as Rosalía, Depeche Mode, Calvin Harris, Bad Gyal, Kendrick Lamar and Maneskin, among many others.

Cruïlla Festival
In the Forum Park itself, on 5, 6, 7 and 8 July, you can enjoy an unrepeatable experience based on music and accompanied by art and comedy at the Cruïlla Festival. You can choose a one-day ticket or a season ticket to enjoy all the days of the festival and live the full experience.

This is a search for different startups that provides and work on sustainable solutions to be implemented in future editions. Cruïlla is much more than music and promises to be the best of the summer.
Beyoncé
I don’t think there is anyone in the world who you ask who Beyoncé is and they don’t know. This world top artist needs no introduction. The famous artist has announced her first solo tour in six years, hitting 40 cities in North America and Europe, with the first concert in Sweden on 10 May.
The tour is running the world under the name of her latest album, Renaissance, which has garnered her a total of nine Grammy nominations this year. The artist also wants to make her mark off stage and, with her BeyGOOD initiative, will financially support programmes and causes that focus on marginalised and underserved communities to provide employment opportunities. One million dollars will also be donated to support entrepreneurs to give them the opportunity to further their sustainable business sustainability initiatives.
Tickets for her concert sold out within half an hour of the start of the sale. If you were lucky enough to get a ticket, you can travel to Barcelona from any town on Costa Dorada such as Salou, La Pineda, Tarragona, Cambrils or Reus. If you are in Costa Brava area, in Blanes, Platja d’Aro, Lloret de Mar or Sant Feliu de Guíxols, you can also travel to the concert with Shuttle2Sun.
Harry Styles
Another superstar coming to Barcelona is the British singer Harry Styles. He will be performing on 12 July at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys in Barcelona. His Love On Tour has 83 concerts in total around Europe, in addition to the new dates added in Austin, Chicago and Sao Paolo.
On this tour, the British artist will present his recent album Harry’s House and will give fans the opportunity to see the artist live in major cities around the world with the aim of becoming “Harry’s House” for a few hours.
This new leg of the tour will be the first time the artist will perform in European stadiums and anticipation is at an all-time high. Harry Styles’ concerts have always been characterised by running, singing and dancing, injecting adrenaline into the audience.
