Primavera Sound, which began two decades ago in Barcelona and is widely regarded as one of the preeminent musical festivals in the world, is coming to Los Angeles in 2020.

Organizers today announced that the festival’s first U.S. event, Primavera Sound L.A., will take place Sept. 19-20, 2020, at L.A. State Historic Park.

“We have been thinking about Los Angeles for many years now, and the celebration of our 20th anniversary felt like the perfect timing for the decision of crossing overseas,” said Gabi Ruiz, one of Primavera Sound’s directors. “Our goal is to bring the Primavera Sound spirit and vibe to cities with a similar feel: creative, colorful and welcoming. And with this, to give something new to the city, to show a new side and new possibilities to be built and harvested together. So it’s a dream to finally say: yes, it had to be Los Angeles.”

The event will be co-produced by Live Nation.

“Primavera Sound is an inspiring tastemaker festival and we’re thrilled to be working with their Barcelona team in bringing it to Los Angeles next year,” said Brian Smith, Live Nation’s senior vice president of Los Angeles Booking at Live Nation. “The festival is a forward-thinking exploration of music and culture, and it will offer a unique and powerful experience to connect with fans.”

The lineup is TBA, but a limited number of early-bird tickets will go on sale at 9 a.m. on June 7.
