Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona faced significant challenges on its first day due to severe weather, leading to the cancellation of performances by headline acts like Massive Attack, Doja Cat, and Bad Gyal. Organizers cited safety concerns from heavy rain and strong winds as the reason for the cancellations, which also affected earlier sets by Alex G and Mac DeMarco. Despite warnings about the weather, festivalgoers expressed frustration over poor communication, with many learning about cancellations through social media rather than official channels. The festival promised refunds for Thursday’s tickets and assured that safety protocols were followed, with no serious incidents reported. Fans like Alex Milsom and Lauren Cashell shared their disappointment, noting the lack of clear updates and the impact on those who had eagerly anticipated the event.
