Stacked 25th-Anniversary Bill Features Major Debuts and Rare Appearances
Organisers confirmed the first wave of artists following last week’s announcement of ticket sale dates. Doechii is slated to perform at the festival for the first time. Phoebe Bridgers joins the headlining group following the recent release of her solo album Lost Weekend, while Fontaines D.C. head to the festival as they prepare to release their upcoming album Dopamine Chamber later this month.
The billing also features high-profile performances from Massive Attack and Chemical Brothers. FKA Twigs is scheduled to bring an all-new show to the festival site, alongside a diverse roster including Turnstile, Robyn, Bad Gyal, Lola Young, Pavement, ADÉLA, Prospa, Caroline Polachek, and Hayley Williams. Skrillex and Australian artist Ninajirachi will close the festival with a collaborative b2b set.
Rounding out the massive roster are performers such as King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, Bleachers, Underworld, EsDeeKid, ANOHNI, Weyes Blood, English Teacher, Julien Baker, Rebe, Dove Ellis, Metronomy, Arca, underscores, DIIV, Westside Cowboy, Lip Critic, and Angine de Poitrine. Furthermore, the bill includes uncommon festival appearances by Bonnie “Prince” Billy alongside 81-year-old cult vocalist Vashti Bunyan, who has taken the stage a mere dozen times over the past decade.
| Headliners & Featured Acts | Key Context | Performance Highlight |
|---|---|---|
| Doechii | First-time festival performance | Leading the 2027 bill |
| Phoebe Bridgers | Recent solo album Lost Weekend | Milestone anniversary billing |
| Fontaines D.C. | New album Dopamine Chamber releasing later this month | Leading the 2027 bill |
| Vashti Bunyan | 81-year-old cult vocalist | Rare live appearance (barely a dozen times in ten years) |
Reflecting on Previous Editions and the Road to 2027
The announcement follows this year’s festival edition, which ran at the Parc del Fòrum from June 4 to 6 and featured performances from The Cure, Gorillaz, The xx, Doja Cat, and Massive Attack, alongside a surprise set from Olivia Rodrigo. Reviewing that event, NME awarded the festival three and a half stars, praising organisers for delivering “another solid edition” despite starting “on a slightly sour note”.
With registration windows closing on October 7 and general sales opening on October 9, attendees now weigh the expansive roster against travel and lodging plans for Barcelona next June. Whether the heavy concentration of returning favorites and rare guests will shift festival attendance patterns is unclear as ticket sales commence.
