Overview
- Organisers cancelled headline sets by Massive Attack, Doja Cat and Bad Gyal after heavy rain and strong winds on Thursday made performances on the Estrella Damm and Revolut stages unsafe.
- Festival big screens first warned attendees to remain calm as Alex G and Mac DeMarco were pulled and parts of the main arena were closed while staff assessed conditions.
- Many festival-goers criticised slow and unclear on-site communication and poor crowd guidance, saying they received conflicting information and had to return to the site multiple times.
- Doja Cat posted on X and later appeared emotional on Instagram Live saying she was 'fully dressed and ready' to perform and promising she will return to make it up to fans.
- Primavera said it followed established safety protocols, reported no serious incidents, confirmed refunds for Thursday tickets will be detailed on Monday 8 June, and intends to continue the festival schedule on Friday.
