FOLK
Alberto Montero
THURSDAY,
JUNE 2
17:30h
Adidas originals
(Parc del Fòrum)
Alberto Montero made his debut in 2011 with “Claroscuro” and, after publishing two albums of elegant
and simple folk, he just released “Arco Mediterráneo”,
a more complete and complex work that raises his
value as a privileged voice of the most unorthodox
songwriting.
www.albertomontero.bandcamp.com
4
PUNK
Aliment
FRIDAY,
JUNE 3
17:30h
Pitchfork
(Parc del Fòrum)
If their debut album, “Holy Slap”, was already a storm
of smouldering punk and all-consuming garage
dressed up as robust pop, their second album, “Silverback”, pushes it up a notch and takes that furious
mixture of monolithic rock and vibrant punk with
hints of the The Stooges to the next level.
www.aliment.bandcamp.com
5
SYNTH-POP
Bearoid
WEDNESDAY,
JUNE 1 & SUNDAY JUNE 5
15:10h &
20:30h
DayPro (CCCB)
& Sala Teatre
(CCCB)
Experimentation and dance, organic textures and
synthetic details come hand-in-hand in Bearoid, project that Daniel Belenguer Saborit has created as a
vehicle for music research and his quest for independence. “Dawn At Home” is his second EP.
www.bearoid.bandcamp.com
6
ELECTRONIC
BeGun
FRIDAY,
JUNE 3
21:30h
Bowers & Wilkins
Sound System
(Parc del Fòrum)
beGun is globe trotting electronic music that travels
from chill wave to bass music and from house to UK
garage. Gunsal H. Moreno perfectly encapsulated
it on “San Francisco”, his debut on Subterfuge, and
which he took a step further on “AMMA”, where he
enhances the recipe by embracing African sounds.
www.begun.bandcamp.com
7
SURF-POP
Big Summer
FRIDAY,
JUNE 3
12:30h
Sala Teatre
(CCCB)
Big Summer is Vasco Batista’s musical vision. He has
a marked inclination towards classical pop, crystalline melodies and deviations towards the most
ethereal of surf. In 2013 the band released their first
LP “Everything is going to be OK” and in 2014, the
EP “Big Summer” came out. Their second album is
forecast to come out in 2016.
www.thebigsummer.bandcamp.com
8
PUNK-HARDCORE
Cadena
SUNDAY,
JUNE 5
22:15h
La [2] (Apolo)
The Barcelona band Cadena starts from the best of
punk and hardcore tradition of the Catalan capital,
the one that shook up the underground scene of the
eighties, to go on to shred it up in industrial explosions, waves of noise and injections of aggressive
and visceral rock. The band has just signed to Boston
Pizza Records with the 7” “0857”.

/album/0857-7-bpr033

ROCK
Cala Vento
FRIDAY,
JUNE 3
13:00h
Martini
(CCCB)
Joan Delgado and Aleix Turon are a boisterous duo
with a surprising capacity to convey intensity and get
the most out of pop, indie, punk and post-hardcore. In 2015 they were the winners of Converse Make
Noise, and announced their signing to the Barcelona
label BCore, on which they will soon release their
debut album.
www.calavento.bandcamp.com

SYNTH-POP
Carla
TUESDAY, MAY
31 & WEDNESDAY, JUNE 1
20:00h
& 13:30h
Sala Apolo &
DayPro (CCCB)
CARLA is making a name for herself as a delicate
creator of hazy synth-pop that astonishes from the
very first listen. “Night Thoughts”, her much awaited
debut album mastered by the British producer John
Davis (Blur, FKA twigs, Haim, Lana del Rey), confirms
CARLA as one of the great voices of national electronic pop.

11
ELECTRONIC
Daniel Baughman
SATURDAY,
JUNE 4
21:30h
Bowers & Wilkins
Sound System
(Parc del Fòrum)
Daniel Baughman has always been totally at ease on
the electronic music scene, alternating his DJ facet
with the management of the Geradehaus party or
residencies in clubs such as Low or Mundo. On the
decks, he shows off the passion that has led him to
crate dig around the world and to give impeccable
techno, house, disco and italo sets.

12
DJ-POP
Daniel Gon
WEDNESDAY,
JUNE 1
02:00h &
22:00h
Barts
As well as playing in bands such as Miau Miau, Without
and The Handclappers, Daniel Gon is also a regular behind the decks in clubs and bars of Barcelona, where
he mixes rock with whatever style comes to mind with
no qualms whatsoever. This double facet is complemented by his collaboration with music magazines
such as “Ruta 66” and on blogs like Gent Normal.
www.soundcloud.com/daniel-gon
13
KRAUTROCK
Die Katapult
SATURDAY,
JUNE 4
13:00h
Martini
(CCCB)
Anna Fredriksson and Elena Comas are Die Katapult,
a Barcelona-based Hispano-Swedish duo that sings
in German and has found the perfect way to combine
all their passions in what they have called European
krautrock. A denomination in which there is room for
influences that go from Kraftwerk to Hidrogenesse,
from electro-punk to retro futurist synth-pop.
www.soundcloud.com/die-katapult
14
DJ-POP
Dj Coco
SATURDAY,
JUNE 4
04:00h
Ray-ban
(Parc del Fòrum)
Jumping seamlessly from indie to electronic and from
punk to electro-pop, Dj Coco has become more and
more popular every year at Primavera Sound. The
Barcelona DJ had gained a well-earned reputation
with his residence at La [2] de Nitsa, his sessions at
Nitsa Club and visits to Los Angeles and Helsinki.
He has also played alongside David Holmes and Erol
Alkan and has remixed Baxendale and Sidonie.
www.soundcloud.com/djcoconitsa
15
POP
Doble Pletina
WEDNESDAY,
JUNE 1
17:00h
Primavera
(Parc del Fòrum)
Doble Pletina have just finished mixing what will be
their new album, the much awaited follow-up to “De
lo concreto a lo general” with which they consolidated themselves as elegant and stylish pop miniaturists. Following in the footsteps of The Magnetic
Fields and taking art house pop to the limits, the
Barcelona band has not stopped gaining ground.
www.doblepletina.bandcamp.com
16
SYNTH-POP
El Último Vecino
WEDNESDAY,
JUNE 1
18:00h
Primavera
(Parc del Fòrum)
The project led by Gerard Alegre Dòria was one of
the great revelations of 2013. Now, after playing on
stages of Spain, Lithuania and Mexico and proving
with the maxi single “Tu casa nueva” that they are not
a one-record band, they are back with a new record.
It is a good moment for dark anthems while defending the Joy Division-New Order sequence.
www.elultimovecino.bandcamp.com

PSYCHEDELIC FOLK
Esperit!
WEDNESDAY,
JUNE 1 & SUNDAY, JUNE 5
14:20h &
17:20h
DayPro (CCCB)
& Sala Teatre
(CCCB)
If there is one artist who is able to break moulds and
maneuver among all styles without losing face, it is,
without a doubt, Mau Boada, the one-man-orchestra
who performs under the moniker Esperit!. The musician will present “Heráclito” an album made together
with the Valencia musician Fernando Junquera (Negro) at the festival.
www.bankrobber.net/es/esperit
18
POP
Inspira
FRIDAY,
JUNE 3
17:00h
Ray-ban
(Parc del Fòrum)
With “Greta”, the Barcelona band Inspira, led by Jordi
Lanuza, has definitively abandoned the circuit of cult
bands to become one of the key names in contemporary Catalan pop. This fourth album represents a
change in style with which the band moved towards
a much clearer and compact sound, much warmer
and more immediate.
www.inspirabcn.com
19
FOLK
Invisible Harvey
SATURDAY,
JUNE 4
12:30h
Sala Teatre
(CCCB)
After alternating his musician facet with that of film
director, television scriptwriter and music critic, Dimas Rodríguez strikes out on his own under the name
of Invisible Harvey. On the poppier side of americana and always trying to get a smile out of folk, he
has just presented “La puerta giratoria”, a delightful
romantic anthem that is a taster of what will be his
debut on El Genio Equivocado.

FOLK
Joana Serrat
SATURDAY,
JUNE 4
17:00h
Ray-ban
(Parc del Fòrum)
Joana Serrat has revealed herself to be an exceptional composer and one of the voices that has
best adapted American folk by opening new paths
towards jazz and pop. With a tour that has had
her perform in Portugal, Holland, Luxembourg and
Belgium, Serrat can consider herself one of the Catalan artists with the greatest international profile.
www.soundcloud.com/joana-serrat
25
POP
Manel
SATURDAY,
JUNE 4
18:55h
H&M
(Parc del Fòrum)
After an intense period of concerts and becoming the
first Catalan singing pop band to go to the top of the
Spanish charts on two occasions, Manel released in
April their fourth album “Jo Competeixo” that would
have been their consolidation if it was not for the
fact that nobody is contesting Manel’s status as the
number 1 reference of new Catalan pop.
www.manelweb.com
26
POP
Nothing Places
THURSDAY,
JUNE 2
17:30h
Pitchfork
(Parc del Fòrum)
Three years after making a name for himself with a
self-titled debut of intricate melodies and adventurous spirit, Emilio Saiz has gained critical acclaim with
“Tidal Love”, a record in which there are influences
that go from Radiohead to Wilco passing through
Alt-J and Dirty Projectors.
www.nothingplaces.net
27
PSYCHEDELIA
Pacosan
SUNDAY,
JUNE 5
16:00h
Sala Teatre
(CCCB)
With their first record, the Catalans Pacosan managed to open a path between electronic and psychedelic music, influenced in equal measure by Animal
Collective and by Caribou and taking the lysergic,
abrasive and hypnotic properties of music to the
limit. “My High” has led them to share stages with
bands such as The Dodos, Glass Animals and Holy
Fuck.
www.pacosan.net
28
ELECTRONIC
Pina
THURSDAY,
JUNE 2
21:45h
Bowers & Wilkins
Sound System
(Parc del Fòrum)
Pedro Pina has made electronic minimalism and
digital creation his raison d’être. Paying special attention to the mechanical aspects of the composition
and more and more focused on industrial rhythms
and edgy IDM, Pina made his mark with “Hum”, his
third record and he is back now to do it again with
“Transit”.
www.pina.bandcamp.com
29
GARAGE
Power Burkas
SUNDAY,
JUNE 5
15:15h
Martini
(CCCB)
Behind the provocative name Power Burkas hides
one of the jewels of Vic - the latest musical powerhouse in the region- and it is an insolent band at that.
A searing blast of electricity, rhythm and irreverent
sense of humour to shake up the Catalan garage
scene. The quartet is preparing its debut on Famèlic
and BCore.
www.laburkapoderteda.bandcamp.com
30
TRAP
Pxxr Gvng
SATURDAY,
JUNE 4
20:05h
Adidas originals
(Parc del Fòrum)
PXXR GVNG started to circulate on Internet in 2014,
cruising through a fusion of bass music, autotune,
rap and Latin electronic music like nobody else. After
bombarding Youtube with videos they have started
their discography assault with “Los pobres”, with
which the Barcelona collective has gained even more
ground as a rising viral phenomenon and ringleaders
of Spanish trap.
www.facebook.com/pxxrgvngofficial
31
ANTI-FOLK
Ran Ran Ran
SUNDAY,
JUNE 5
14:30h
Sala Teatre
(CCCB)
The Catalan label Bankrobber continues to increase
its roster with the signing of Ran Ran Ran, a Barcelona duo formed by Ferran Baucells and Jordi Farreras.
Its third record has put Ran Ran Ran in a prominent
position on the Catalan folk scene, succeeding in
looking towards americana without losing sight of its
identity or lyrical depth.
www.ranranran.bandcamp.com
32
PSYCHEDELIA
Redthread
SUNDAY,
JUNE 5
13:00h
Sala Teatre
(CCCB)
Claustrophobic darkness is Redthread’s natural habitat, the Barcelona trio that moves like fish in water in
styles such as psychedelia, dark wave and progressive rock. A project that has led the band to play at
Primavera Club and to share stages with bands such
as No Joy. The band is currently recording what will
be their first album.
www.redthread.bandcamp.com/releases
33
PSYCHEDELIA
Shinkiro
FRIDAY,
JUNE 3
13:30h
Sala Teatre
(CCCB)
They have the name of an animation star, but Shinkiro come from Barcelona with the firm intention of
rocketing to faraway galaxies and planting the flag of
krautrock, el space-rock and lunar psychedelia. The
band debuted last year with the EP “Cartesian Jetstream”, which is full of rough melodies and complex
psychedelia.
www.shinkiro.bandcamp.com
34
FUNK
The Handclappers
SUNDAY,
JUNE 5
19:00h
Sala Teatre
(CCCB)
The Handclappers mix funk, post-punk and echo
bands such as !!!, exploiting all the potential of sinuous bass and broken rhythms. The band has been
singled out by several specialist media as one of
the names to watch out for on the Barcelona underground scene. Dance and funk Catalan-style to conquer the dance floors and make the crowds freak out.
www.thehandclappers.bandcamp.com
35
ROCK
The Saurs
SATURDAY,
JUNE 4
17:30h
Pitchfork
(Parc del Fòrum)
In no time The Saurs went from being the noisy promise of underground to the outstanding representatives of the most urgent and overwhelming punk-pop.
The trio brought its blend of garage, pop, surf and
hard rock to the 2014 edition of the festival and are
now coming back to present “Magic Shape”, which
has just come out on El Segell del Primavera.
www.thesaurs.bandcamp.com
36
NECRO-FOLK
+++
SUNDAY,
JUNE 5
23:00h
La [2] (Apolo)
Provocative, wild and fascinated by the esoteric, Marc
O’Callaghan and Víctor Dvnkel, sing to sick and dying
pop, which is why their music can not be anything
but dark necro-folk on a visit to the territories of Death In June and Current 93.
Last May they released “Octagrammaton”, a sinister
treatment of failing folk, warring atmosphere and
esoteric punk.
www.cruzcruzcruz.bandcamp.com
37
SURF-POP
Twin Drama
SUNDAY,
JUNE 5
13:45h
Martini
(CCCB)
Twin Drama are Xavier Mohedano and Fernando
Herrero, two youngsters from Barcelona who last
summer decided to put everything into simple, highly
energetic sunny pop. With only a guitar and a percussion kit and a good sense of rhythm, as was appreciated on their first demo, the Barcelona duo has
become one of the last to sign to Helsinki Pro.
www.twindrama.bandcamp.com
38
SHOEGAZE
Univers
SUNDAY,
JUNE 5
23:00h
Apolo
Since 2012 Univers has not stopped and their enveloping, edgy pop with layers of distortion has led them
to tour the USA and Mexico and to record hard-hitting albums like “L’estat natural”, their 2014 debut.
The band is now preparing their second album, a new
immersion into shoegaze and the sound of C-86.
www.facebook.com/univvers
39
GOTHIC FOLK
Wind Atlas
SUNDAY,
JUNE 5
00:00h
La [2] (Apolo)
The Barcelona band Wind Atlas started to make
a place for themselves on the darker side of folk
with “The Not Found” and confirm their passion for
gothic music on “Lingua Ignota”, their second album.
Ambient, folk, dream pop, slowcore and shoegaze
all come hand-in-hand in this project that, now as a
quartet, is producing songs of a strange and intriguing beauty.
