Primavera Sound has announced its 2022 L.A. lineup, the European festival's first U.S. edition. It will be held in Los Angeles State Historical Park from September 19–20, 2022 with Arctic Monkeys, Lorde, and Nine Inch Nails headlining. Among the many artists on its undercard are Arca, Boy Harsher, Chai, Drain Gang (Bladee, Ecco2k, and Thaiboy Digital), Dry Cleaning, Faye Webster, James Blake, Kim Gordon, King Krule, Low, Mitski, Mustafa, PinkPantheress, Special Interest, Stereolab, Tierra Whack, and Tim Hecker.
Primavera has been throwing annual festivals in Barcelona and Porto for years. The company announed in 2019 that their first U.S. edition would take place in L.A. in 2020, but it was cancelled due to COVID-19. The pandemic also made Primavera's 2020 and 2021 European festivals impossible.
The massive lineup for Primavera Sound Barcelona 2022, which will run from June 2–June 12, was released in May. View all the artists performing at the L.A. festival below, and pre-register for tickets on Primavera's website.
