May 25 to 27 will see the 10th Primavera Sound Festival take place in Barcelona this year.They will have the Pet Shop Boys,Marc Almond,Gary Numan,Lee Scratch Perry and the Fall ( this is a group that is ever changing but still as relevant today as they were ten years ago).

This event is less mainstream than the Benicassim Festival but what the barcelona festival is able to do is look for all of those cutting edge bands out there that are the sounds of tomorrow.The bands can be challenging and also exciting.For example they have Jeffrey Lewis who graduated from the State University of new York with a degree in literature .He did his thesis on the comic Watchman.He is now a comic book writer and also a recording artist.He produces autobiographical works in both genres.

The festival have two of the 80´s and 90´s cult bands The Pixies and Pavement.These two alone will give those attending the idea of what this festival is all about.There will be around 100 bands .There will also be many other bands playing in and around Barcelona.This is a festival which appeals to the eclectic tastes of those who love music in all of its forms.There is no camp site so visitors will need accommodation.The music starts early in the evening and goes on untl morning ,not leaving much time for sleep.o
