Massive Attack, Bad Gyal, and Doja Cat Added to Primavera Sound Cancellations as Fans Criticise Organisation
Organisers said adverse weather and technical conditions made the main-stage performances unsafe, and Doja Cat said she plans to return after the cancellation.
- On Thursday, June 4, 2026, Primavera Sound in Barcelona cancelled headline performances by Doja Cat, Massive Attack, and Bad Gyal due to adverse weather and technical issues that organisers deemed unsafe.
- Intense storms bringing gusts up to 80km/h and heavy rainfall forced earlier cancellations of American producer Alex G and Canadian singer Mac DeMarco's sets, as reports forecast 40 to 60 millimetres of rain within an hour.
- Communication gaps frustrated attendees, with many reporting confusion and lack of festival screen updates; Lauren Cashell, a festival-goer from County Clare, Ireland, described the experience as a "collective trauma bond."
- Organisers confirmed a refund process for Thursday's tickets begins June 8th, while Doja Cat, who was "absolutely crushed," assured fans she intends to return to the festival in the future.
- Despite Thursday's disruptions, the festival continues through Sunday, June 7, with organisers confirming doors open at 3:45 pm for Friday's scheduled acts, including The Cure, Addison Rae, and PinkPantheress.
