Arctic Monkeys and The National are headlining one of Europe’s biggest festivals, and it’s dirt cheap

Arctic Monkeys

Festival season draws ever closer…

Primavera Sound takes place in Barcelona from 30 May – 3 June and is unofficially regarded as Europe’s finest music festival.

As such, the line-up for this year’s bash is quite mouthwatering indeed.

The massive bill features the likes of – deep breath – Arctic Monkeys, The National, Lorde, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Björk, The War on Drugs, Vince Staples, HAIM, Tyler, The Creator, Mogwai, Warpaint, A$AP Rocky and Father John Misty to name but… 13.

There’s plenty more where that came from, and tickets are cheerfully cheap, too, starting at €180.

Tis a steal, and gives further life to the rumours that Arctic Monkeys are set to unleash their sixth album in the coming months.

Check out the full line-up breakdown on the official poster below.
