(primaverasound.com) ### When does the festival actually start? Wednesday, June 3, is listed by Primavera Sound as the first day of Barcelona programming at Parc del Fòrum. The official schedule page shows activity beginning that day, before the larger stage rollout visible from Thursday onward. (primaverasound.com) Thursday, June 4, is the first day on the posted timetable with the full spread of named stages and dense hour-by-hour scheduling. The same page shows performances running deep into the night and early morning, reflecting the festival’s usual late-hour format. ### Which artists are the biggest draws this week? (primaverasound.com) The Cure, Doja Cat, Gorillaz and Bad Gyal are among the names tied most closely to this year’s Barcelona edition in coverage from festival and media outlets. Primavera’s homepage promotes the Barcelona event as running June 3-7, while NME’s June 1 report names The Cure, Doja Cat and Gorillaz among the artists selected for Amazon Music’s livestream.

Primavera’s schedule page shows a multi-stage layout that includes Estrella Damm, Revolut, Cupra, Schwarzkopf, Plenitude, Auditori Rockdelux and several club-style or branded spaces. Thursday alone includes acts such as Blood Orange, Father John Misty, TV Girl, Men I Trust, Panda Bear and Mac DeMarco, alongside electronic performers scheduled into the early hours. (primaverasound.com) The official timetable also indicates that Primavera is balancing marquee names with a broader discovery lineup. Shorter early-evening slots sit alongside headline-length late-night sets, and the schedule shows simultaneous programming across outdoor main stages and smaller indoor or sponsor-backed venues within the site. (primaverasound.com) ### What can people watch without being in Barcelona? Amazon Music will carry selected Primavera Sound performances, NME reported on June 1. The outlet said the livestream roster includes The Cure, Doja Cat, Gorillaz and additional artists, giving remote viewers access to part of the festival without attending in person. (primaverasound.com) Primavera’s own website is the clearest source for the on-site running order, because it already lists set times by day and by stage. For anyone tracking the week in real time, the posted schedule and the Amazon Music stream lineup are the two main reference points now in place. (primaverasound.com) ### Where should readers look next as the week begins? Primavera Sound’s Barcelona lineup page is already live with day-by-day timings for June 3 through June 7. Amazon Music’s announced livestream slate, as reported by NME on June 1, identifies which major sets — including The Cure, Doja Cat and Gorillaz — are expected to be available off-site as the festival opens in Barcelona.
