Primavera Sound Festival The Primavera Sound Festival 2012 is happening at the Parc del Forum and Poble Espanyol. Four days of open-air pumping dance music, indie bands and left-field sounds make a big party atmosphere. This year this Barcelona spring music festival is on the 30th May - 3rd June, at different locations on each day. Check out the offical website Primavera Sound for who is on where and when. Barcelona is a small city so staying in an apartment anywhere should be fine for the festival, but if you really just want to stagger home then check out the link below to the list of apartments close to the Forum, the bigger venue for the dance parties.
