More about the headliners

Among the headliners for the Primavera Sound Festival is multiple-Grammy-award winning rapper Kendrick Lamar, who released his new album, Mr Morale and the Big Steppers, five years after his previous project Damn, which was released in 2017.

The album debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 and also received several accolades, including the American Music Awards and the BET Hip Hop Awards. It has also been nominated for the 2023 Grammy Awards in two categories, Album of the Year and Best Rap Album.

Also among the headliners are British electronic band Depeche Mode, who are set to perform on stage in five years. Earlier this year, the band’s founding member, Andrew Fletcher, passed away at the age of 60. Last month, the surviving members of the band announced a new album, Memento Mori, and a supporting tour for the album. The US leg of their tour will begin in March 2023 and will conclude on April 14, after which the band will head to Europe and the UK.
