Pitchfork Curates a Stage at Primavera Sound Festival!

Barcelona is, we understand, a nice place, and you probably shouldn't need any excuse to visit, but now you've got one anyway: This year's edition of the Primavera Sound Festival will go down May 28-30 at Barcelona's Parc Del Fòrum, and Pitchfork is curating a stage! Time to start brushing up on your Spanish (or your Catalan), kids.

Already confirmed to play the Pitchfork stage (in alphabetical order because they all rule): Bowerbirds, the Bug, Crystal Antlers, Crystal Stilts, the Mae Shi, Plants & Animals, Ponytail, the Tallest Man on Earth, Vivian Girls, and WAVVES. More to come, too.

And that's only a part of the otherwise completely ridiculous festival lineup, which also includes two sets from the reunited My Bloody Valentine, along with a couple of other can't-miss reunions from the Vaselines and Throwing Muses. Also on the bill: Spiritualized, Gang Gang Dance, Damien Jurado, Alela Diane, Extra Life, Kitty Daisy and Lewis, Michael Nyman, and the Soft Pack (formerly the Muslims).
