British indie trio The xx will headline Primavera Sound 2026 in Barcelona, performing at Parc del Fòrum from June 4 to 6, 2026. The band’s return comes after several years of silence and marks their first major live performance since 2020.
The xx’s ethereal sound, minimalist style, and emotional depth have made them one of the most acclaimed acts of their generation. Their inclusion in the 2026 lineup adds another layer of sophistication to the already star-studded festival, which also features The Cure, Doja Cat, Gorillaz, and Massive Attack. (nme.com)
New Era for The xx
The band — composed of Romy Madley Croft, Oliver Sim, and Jamie xx — is expected to debut new material from their forthcoming studio album, rumored for release in early 2026. Fans can anticipate both intimate moments and powerful live arrangements blending guitars, vocals, and electronic production.
In addition, Jamie xx is likely to perform a solo DJ set at one of the afterparties, making Primavera Sound a double treat for fans of his hypnotic beats and production flair.
