After days marked by rain, schedule anxiety, and the usual Parc del Fòrum marathon math, the final night of Primavera Sound 2026 swung from the intimate ache of Big Thief to the distortion storm of My Bloody Valentine, from Olivia Rodrigo's secret-set electricity to Gorillaz's communal spectacle, before KNEECAP turned the late hours into a political rave with teeth.
The first major shock came from Rodrigo, whose appearance had been teased, whispered about, and finally confirmed close enough to showtime to preserve the thrill. Playing the Occident stage, she delivered a compact, high-voltage set that moved through "Bad Idea Right?," "Vampire," "Drivers License" and "Deja Vu." Robert Smith of The Cure then joined Rodrigo for the live debut of "What's Wrong With Me," a new song that marks her first collaboration with another artist.
