Overview
- Organizers temporarily suspended outdoor concerts during heavy rain and wind on Thursday and later confirmed definitive cancellations of some sets, including Alex G and Mac DeMarco.
- Massive Attack and My Bloody Valentine had already declined to be included in the Amazon Music stream, and Massive Attack’s on-site performance was halted by the weather and safety concerns.
- Amazon Music is broadcasting a wide selection of Primavera shows live on Prime Video and Twitch with a same-day rebroadcast to serve other time zones, covering many headliners but not every act.
- The disruption led thousands of attendees to leave the main esplanade, stretched staff and crowd-management resources, and forced the use of contingency measures such as providing ponchos and shifting smaller-stage programming.
- Primavera Sound remains underway across its multiple stages and city program, drawing roughly 290,000 visitors over the weekend and underlining both the festival’s global reach and the vulnerability of large outdoor events to sudden severe weather.
