Barcelona's Primavera Sound Festival has, in its decade of existence, established itself as one of the most impressive music fests on the European calendar. Of course, being in Barcelona, in May, makes it a favored 'destination' festival for sun-starved music enthusiasts; and, well, if you were contemplating your vacation plans for 2010, maybe keep May 27-29 open.
Co-headlining the 10th Primavera Sound shindig are a pair of recently-reunited rockbands you may have heard of: Pavement and The Pixies. But that's just the beginning.
Also set to grace the stages at the Parc Del Fòrum on the Primavera bill are The XX, Wild Beasts, Panda Bear, Dum Dum Girls, Wilco, The Antlers, The Fall, Ganglians, Here We Go Magic, and Hope Sandoval and the Warm Inventions.
Scores more bands'll be added between now and the new year, including a stage curated by the Pitchfork empire. And no matter who's playing, spring on the Catalan coast has its own particular charms...
