Los Angeles, CA (The Hollywood Times) 07/11/2022 – A Primavera Sound music festival is heading to Los Angeles, becoming its first music festival in America. Similar to the Primavera Barcelona fest, the LA event will roll out over the course of three days – September 16 -18 – at the L.A. Historic State Park. The lineup is sure to ignite every music lover as its curated selection of more than fifty artists will take you on a fun ride, as it delivers some of today’s most exciting sounds.
American Industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails, English rock band Arctic Monkeys, and New Zealand pop icon Lorde are all scheduled to headline the three-day event, respectively. But there will be ample talent on hand for festival-goers to enjoy the sounds of as they dance away the day and move into the night. The lineup includes multi-talented English musician James Blake, Japanese-American singer-songwriter Mitski, and the Texan-trio Khruangbin.
Also appearing is the experimental 1990’s London band, StereoLab, who will be playing on opening day. And German Techno Dj Helena Hauff will be spinning her magic before the show closes. Also among the extremely talented lineup is DJ Playero, a key figure in the formation of reggaeton, which is dance music that grew its roots in Puerto Rico. Also performing is Los Angeles crooner Giveon, whose heartfelt vocals were recently featured on Justin Bieber’s hit “Peaches” and Chilean-American singer Paloma Mami known for her Latin R&B vocals.
Primavera Sound believes the event demonstrates “the journey to Los Angeles can be made by following an infinite number of musical itineraries … [with] a lineup that is already heading towards equality. A non-negotiable commitment for Primavera Sound is its search for a fairer music industry.”
Single-day tickets are on sale, as well as the 3-day, and there are VIP options. For more information and to purchase tickets, please visit Primavera Sound Los Angeles.
