Barcelona rocks with Primavera Sound

Barcelona stays number one on the world pop scene with this year's addition of Primavera Sound (25-28 May).

The music will run the gamut from pop and rock to electronic to dance, always with a focus on the independent, the new, the underground, and the diverse. Bands will be local and from all over the world: from Austria, Chile, Poland, everywhere.

If you are looking for an escape from the usual and the commercial, this four-day music razzle is just right for you, and at the right price. And speaking of underground this year there will be free concerts at various Metro stops around Barcelona, close to the hotel. These concerts have become so popular they have outgrown their original home in the Park Forum and will spill into the Poble Espanyol this year.

Have kids? There is a minimusic space for children with workshops of music, collages, and biscuits.
The festive pop-music will permeate the city from 25-28 May and we at Hotel Principal will be happy to be your guides.
