PJ Harvey Announces A New North American Tour For This Fall, Her First One In Seven Years

PJ Harvey is hitting the road again this fall, much to the anticipation of fans, as she announced a new North American tour in support of her album I Inside The Old Year Dying . It has been seven years since she last toured the continent.

Tickets for the run of shows will open in a mailing presale starting tomorrow, February 27, followed by the public sale opening this Friday, March 1.

Along with the reveal, Harvey also released the video for her song “Seem An I.” Directed by Colm Bairéad, it stars Ruth Wilson.

“Ruth and I became friends after working together on Clio Barnard’s film Dark River ,” Harvey wrote in a statement. “I have always greatly admired Ruth’s work as an actor, so had long harboured a dream that we might work together again in some way.”

Check out the video for “Seem An I” above. Continue scrolling for a complete list of Harvey’s North American tour dates . Additional information can be found here .

PJ Harvey Changed Her Mind About Touring

PJ Harvey has achieved one of music’s rarest feats: a water-tight discography with few weak spots and little repetition. The lone throughline in her work is a desire to convey multiple states at once, collapsing the boundaries between dreaming and waking, euphoria and melancholy, life and death. For three decades, that approach has received unwavering adulation from fans, critics, and peers. Kurt Cobain listed Dry as one of his all-time favorite albums; three of her LPs ( Rid of Me, To Bring You My Love, Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea ) appear on Rolling Stone ’s list of 500 Greatest Albums of All Time ; and she is the only artist to have won the U.K.’s prestigious Mercury Prize more than once.

Now in her early 50s, Harvey is bringing life to imagined worlds that resemble modern folklore, inhabited by characters rich with contradictions and duality — no more so than on her latest album I Inside the Old Year Dying , one of her strangest and most ambitious achievements yet. The project is a musical extension of 2022’s Orlam , an epic coming-of-age poem that Harvey composed over the span of eight years. Written largely in Dorset dialect, it chronicles a year in the life of its 9-year-old protagonist Ira-Abel, a West Country girl who encounters perverse horrors, spectral magic, and horny goats and gods in the English countryside.

While Harvey originally intended to turn her poem into a piece for the theater, the words took on a new life when she applied them to piano and guitar. That rush followed a period of musical silence from Harvey. The exhaustion caused by her last tour in 2017 had prompted an existential reckoning, and she wondered whether she’d lost her touch or if her love for music had dwindled. Now, as she prepares for her first tour in six years — with stateside shows due for fall 2024 — Harvey seems to have refound her purpose: “I feel excited and ready and confident that the show is a strong one.”

You originally envisioned Orlam as a piece for the stage. Are you bringing any of those ideas to the I Inside the Old Year Dying tour? This show with my band isn’t really connected to Orlam . I think that I Inside is a strong piece of work that stands on its own. I don’t think that that piece needs Orlam to be understood and so we’re really presenting the album as well as my back catalog of songs. It’ll be a look at all of my material over the years but with a concentration on the latest album.

How far back does the catalog stretch on the setlist? Oh, back to album one. I think it’ll be a really comprehensive show for all ages of PJ Harvey fans. It’s been a great joy actually to play some of those earlier songs. I haven’t played many of them live for years. So I think it’s gonna be a special show for that reason as well.

How has it been embodying the voices of early PJ? Were you able to jump right back in? Not all the time, so I had to choose the songs quite carefully. I worked very closely with John Parish, who’s been my right-hand man for 30 years. John and I chose what we felt worked well with I Inside in terms of lyrical content and musicality so that the evening has a certain feel to it and doesn’t lean into lots of radically different fields. But I think over the evening, it will be a very slow progression. A sort of gradual change occurs rather than lots of greater changes all the way through.

Have you thought at all about what your relationship with the audience will be like on tour? Do you have any expectations for a post-pandemic audience? It hadn’t even occurred to me to think of it in a different way. But you’re right in flagging it because I do think it’s taking us quite a long time to adjust to going out into crowds again. I say that because even myself, going out to crowded theater shows or concerts recently, I sense that people are still a little bit cautious.

The only way I might be performing a little differently is purely through getting older — 2017 was my last tour and now I’m at that age where your body changes, and it has different needs, and it can cope with different things in greater or lesser degrees. So I’m looking after myself now as a 53-year-old and that will change the show. But there are wonderful things too, in that my voice is actually better than it’s ever been. I think that is one of the lovely things about getting older as a singer, your voice discovers new depths and greater soulfulness because as we get to know ourselves better, we get more comfortable and accepting of ourselves. The voice is an instrument that you carry with you inside and it’s affected by emotion.

That’s a phrase you’ve used a lot in your latest press cycle: “As I get older.” I’m curious to know whether there was a certain event or marker in time that made you realize, Okay, this is it; I’m in the “older” part of my life now.  It’s funny, I suppose turning 50 is quite a big one. I remember the other one was turning 30. That felt like a milestone to me. I’m not sure when my next one will be — 65, maybe. But I also remember thinking on the last tour: Gosh, it’s taking me longer to recover after a show than it used to . So I noticed it then in quite a big way. When I was a younger woman, I could spring back easily because a show takes a lot out of you. It’s an hour and a half of movement and singing, and singing requires a lot of energy and a lot of use of the diaphragm muscle and all the stomach muscles. So you have to be really fit. And then you put movement and dancing on top of that. I mean, I’m so glad I’m not a dancer or a tennis player because their lifespan can be, you know, a lot less than a singing performer.

Do you see any parallels between childhood and getting older? It seems you’ve refound the kind of joy and creative capacity one might have had as a child. Ah, I think so, especially going into Orlam and the writing of it. Obviously, I had to draw a lot on childhood memory, but I also spent a lot of time reading other books that do similar things. And I think it did take me back to my childhood feelings and imagination. But also, as a creative artist, you never stray too far from that, because the life you have to go into in order to create has to be quite childlike and playful.

It’s such a joy to read Orlam aloud. I feel like I’m put into that childlike state when I read the Dorset dialect; I instinctively understand the words, despite not quite having a context for them. I’d love to hear you talk about your role in the preservation of the dialect. I don’t want to sound too highfalutin, but I did feel it was important to carry on the tradition and not let this dialect die out. I love language and I love dialects from all countries and from all counties. I think it’s absolutely fascinating how words have evolved and changed over so many years. So to even have a small part in trying to keep this alive is really important to me, and I’ve been so happy to see how many people have enjoyed Orlam and have become interested in that part of the world.

Do you remember the first poem you ever wrote? I do. I think it was about my friend Cindy. I had obviously fallen out with her. It was a poem about “I hate Cindy because she is mean;” it was something about shoes as well. I’d also write poems about our animals, our cats, and our sheep. It was when I first learned to write. We used to have these little books at our first school when I was 5 or 6. They had lines at the bottom and a blank space at the top, so you could do a little drawing and you could write a few words. And I loved this book. I carried it around with me while playing in the garden or in the woods. Wherever I was I was making little drawings and writing little poems. I’ve still got it because my dear mum saved everything myself and my brother ever did. I treasure it.

Would you ever want the public to see these early poems? Well, I’m putting together an art exhibition, which we hope to present sometime next year or the year after, but it’s pretty much going to show everything I’ve ever drawn. And I actually find that quite lovely.

Back to the tour. Do you have an outfit planned? Yes, I’ve been working with a designer that I’ve worked with for many years. His name is Todd Lynn. And I first started working with him in 2001. I think the first outfit he made for me was the leather suit that I wore in the “ This Is Love” video . It’s like a beautiful sort of tailored leather Elvis jacket with fringes. He and I became friends after that. This is the first tour that we’ve done together. We’ve come up with an evolution from the dress that you see on the back of the I Inside album cover. So there are different themes on that dress for this tour.

I believe I might have spotted a safety pin on that dress, which made me think about how keen you’ve been in recent years to show the early drafts of your work, whether that’s been recording an album in front of a live audience or releasing your demos . Why do you feel it important to expose the creative process as well as the final product to your audience? It’s not even something I contrive to do; it just happens. You know, I think that I feel more comfortable now than I used to as a younger artist, but I like showing the process because there’s often quite a journey to get from one place to another. I mean, you see it in the poetry drafts. It’s a lot of work and a lot of time. I also think it can be useful to younger artists to see that process.

Going back to the costumes, Todd and I decided that we almost wanted to present what would be the first draft of the costume. So for instance, the back of the album dress is like the first draft. It’s a tulle. It’s made in very cheap material, and we’ve continued that theme into the actual dress that I’m wearing on stage. I think there is something beautiful about showing this sort of skeletal process behind it all.

I’m curious to know what will be on your mind as you try to recreate the voices and embody the characters of I Inside . Will you be thinking about the conditions that were created for you in the studio, for instance? No, I always think of the story I’m telling. I worked for years with a wonderful theater director called Ian Rickson. I worked on soundtracks for his theater plays and then we became greater friends and developed a deeper, collaborative relationship. From Let England Shake onwards, he’s directed my live shows. Something I’ve learned from observing him directing, not only actors but also myself, is that if you visualize something in your head while singing it, the audience will see it.

Do you see “PJ Harvey” as a separate character, someone distinct from yourself? No, everything feels very me. I don’t feel like I have to embody a different person. But like an actor, I can inhabit different characters to portray the vehicle of the song like an actor would portray a character in a film. So it doesn’t mean I’m not Polly doing that.

It was on your last tour that you had this big reckoning of “Do I even want to do this anymore?” Now that you’ve been through that, do you feel more purposeful going into this one? I do. I think I had to go through that questioning. I had to ask myself: Is this still the thing that feels best to put my energies into, and is it the best contribution I have to give? And I think the answer is yes. I think that’s been shown to me during rehearsals and during the making of the new album, where I felt sort of in the place I should be and doing the thing I can do best in this world.

The Driver Era Announces North American Tour in 2024

PJ Harvey Announces First North American Tour in 7 Years

A year after PJ Harvey released her tenth studio album, the art rock icon is hitting the road.

Harvey, 54, announced on Monday, February 26 that she will perform in support of 2023's I Inside the Old Year Dying , the album adapted from her epic poem, Orlam (published in 2022). The tour begins in June in Barcelona, Spain, before snaking its way throughout Europe. In August, Harvey will touch down stateside to play The Anthem in Washington D.C., kicking off her first North American tour in 7 years.

With 16 North American dates total, Harvey will hit Philadelphia, New York and Boston from there before going to Canada to play Leval, Quebec, and Toronto, Ontario. She'll return to the U.S. by way of Detroit before hitting cities like Chicago, Seattle, and San Francisco.

Along with the tour announcement, Harvey shared the music video for "Seem an I." The picturesque visual was directed by Colm Bairéad ( The Quiet Girl, The Joy ) and features actress Ruth Wilson ( The Affair, Luther, His Dark Materials) running across the landscape of England's Kennel Farm.

"Ruth and I became friends after working together on Clio Barnard's film Dark River ," said PJ Harvey in a press statement. "I have always greatly admired Ruth's work as an actor, so I had long harbored a dream that we might work together again in some way. When the opportunity to work with Colm Bairéad came up I knew him to be a director Ruth thought highly of, as I did, so it felt right to ask her if she would star in the film. I find the resulting short film beautiful and moving for having Ruth's magical presence and Colm's unique vision."

"I have always been a huge fan of PJ, so it was a great privilege to work alongside Colm and Polly [Jean Harvey] to bring ‘Seem an I' to visual life in this mysterious and hypnotic short film," added Wilson in the statement. "There is no better way to spend a day in the magical world of PJ Harvey."

Havey began her career in the late 1980s as a part of the British band Automatic Dlamini. She formed an eponymous band in 1991 with Rob Ellis and John Parish . After two albums, the trio disbanded. Harvey continued as a celebrated solo artist, often collaborating with Parish and other like-minded musicians.

She became an icon of the alternative and underground music scene with albums like 1993's Rid of Me a nd 1995's To Bring You My Love , the latter of which contains "Down by the Water," her highest charting song on the U.S. Alternative charts. In 1994, Harvey appeared alongside her fellow alternative icons Bjork and Tori Amos on the cover of British magazine Q , Though the feature helped establish PJ Harvey as a powerhouse in the public eye, the feature's title ("Hips. Lips. Tits. Power.") angered many, with some fans calling it misogynistic.

I Inside the Old Year Dying is Harvey's tenth album, her first since 2006's The Hope Six Demolition Project . It earned Harvey a Best Alternative Music Album nomination at the 2024 Grammy Awards. Critics praised the work, with The Guardian calling the project "eerily forbidding, but intoxicating, and easy to lose yourself in."

PJ Harvey announces Place Bell concert, shares “Seem an I” video

PJ Harvey is hitting the road again, marking her return to North American stages after a seven-year hiatus. The tour, set to kick off on September 11th in Washington, DC, will feature stops across the continent, including a highly anticipated show at Place Bell on September 21st.

This tour comes hot on the heels of Harvey’s critically acclaimed 2023 album, I Inside the Old Year Dying . While the artist made a memorable appearance in Brooklyn last year, showcasing her multifaceted talent through a blend of music, poetry, and conversation, this upcoming tour promises a deeper dive into her latest musical offerings.

Accompanying the tour announcement is the release of the mesmerizing video for “Seem an I,” a track off her latest album. Directed by Colm Bairéad and featuring acclaimed actress Ruth Wilson ( Luther, His Dark Materials ), the video is a visual feast that captures the essence of Harvey’s music with ethereal grace.

Reflecting on the collaboration, Harvey shares her admiration for Wilson’s craft, highlighting their previous work together on Clio Barnard’s film Dark River . “Ruth and I became friends after working together on Clio Barnard’s film ‘Dark River,'” Harvey explains. “I have always greatly admired Ruth’s work as an actor, so had long harboured a dream that we might work together again in some way.”

Wilson reciprocates the sentiment, expressing her delight in bringing Harvey’s vision to life on screen. “I have always been a huge fan of PJ, so it was a great privilege to work alongside Colm and Polly to bring ‘Seem an I’ to visual life in this mysterious and hypnotic short film,” she remarks.

PJ Harvey (born October 9, 1969) is the stage name of seminal British indie/alternative rock musician Polly Jean Harvey, who through steady critically-acclaimed releases has become of the one most revered artists in the genre, hailing from Bridport, Dorset, England.

Born in the coastal town of Bridport, Dorset, Polly Jean Harvey picked up her first instrument in her early teens, the saxophone. She later joined the octet instrumental group, Bologne, during her time in school before becoming one half of the folk duo, the Polekats. It wasn’t until Harvey was 19 however that the singer began to grow in recognition with the Bristol-based group, Automatic Dlamini. It was here Harvey met John Parish and Rob Ellis who would subsequently prove to have a huge influence on the musician’s future output. After recording the album “Here Catch, Shouted His Father” towards the tail-end of 1989 and early 1990, Harvey left the group and formed her own alongside Ellis and Oliver.

Initially a trio, PJ Harvey recorded their debut album “Dry” in 1991 for under $5,000, and played their first show at a bowling alley at Charmoith Village Hall. The band’s debut single, “Dress”, was released by Too Pure Records in October 2001, drawing instant and widespread critical acclaim. Following the release PJ Harvey was invited to record a live radio session for John Peel, and recorded the tracks “Oh, My Lover”, “Victory”, “Sheela-Na-Gig”, and “Water”. PJ Harvey’s debut album was subsequently released in February 1992. Highlighting Harvey’s tremblingly candid lyrics, and raw heavy-hitting guitar, the musician was later named Rolling Stone’s Best Songwriter and Best New Female Singer in late 1992.

After singing with Island Records in mid-1992, the trio enlisted the help of producer Steve Albini to aid the recording of their sophomore “Rid of Me”. Featuring a punk-infused cover of Bob Dylan’s “Highway 61 Revisited”, the full-length was released in May 1993. In support of the record, PJ Harvey embarked on an extensive tour of the UK, before heading to the U.S. in the summer, which is where tensions stated to rise between members. Following a final tour as a trio in support of U2 in August, the group announced it had disbanded with Polly Harvey continuing as a solo artist.

Her debut solo album, “To Bring You My Love”, arrived in February 1995 extolled by critics, and followed by her last full-length of the millennium “Is This Desire?” in 1998. Marked by themes of love and affection, and winning the 2001 Mercury Prize, PJ Harvey’s fifth studio album “Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea” was released in October 2000. Cementing the multi-instrumentalist’s position as an uncompromising, wildly-talented, high-integrity music maker, the record was seen as her finest to date. The studio album “Uh Huh Her” appeared in 2004 in which Harvey played every instrument on the album, followed by “White Chalk” in 2007. Winning her second Mercury Prize, PJ Harvey’s eighth studio album “Let England Shake” was released in February 2011.

Live reviews

I had never heard that many songs by PJ Harvey when I saw her live. A friend of mine had an extra ticket, and she was like, "You should come. You won't regret this." She played a few PJ Harvey songs for me before we left, and I thought "Ok, I guess I'll go." I had nothing else to do that night so I went, and my life was forever changed! PJ Harvey is this quirky, indie rock, folk rock singer whose magic doesn't translate until you see them live.

When I saw her in 2012, it was a few months after her album "Let England Shake." She had a long black feather in her hair and a magnetic personality. Her voice had this fanciful energetic quality to it that echoed into the entire crowd, which was pretty amazing coming from such a tiny singer.

One of the reasons, I think she's so awesome as a singer live is because she's a great improvisational singer. No rendition is exactly the same as the other, I could tell.

She yodels; she plays the autoharp; she sings earnestly. I've never seen a singer, who so completely trusts her audience, and when I say trust I mean she trusted all of us to hear the music, to appreciate it without the added distractions that contemporary singers add to their performances.

She sang from the heart. She sang her truth, and the entire experience was magical, mellow and contemplative. I like to go to performances, where I can just chill and feel the whole world around me transported to me through music. She moved me profoundly.

Report as inappropriate

PJ Harvey is one of Britain's most critically acclaimed artists having won the Mercury Prize award twice. She also holds an MBE for her services to music, so clearly she is rather adored in her homeland. One would not imagine her as a festival act, yet when she stepped onto the Bestival stage following the release of 'Let England Shake' the crowd erupted in cheers.

An eccentric through and through, the multi-instrumentalist made sure the crowd were continuously involved within the show. Constant interaction kept the growing number of revellers engaged as Harvey ran through a sort of career smorgasbord setlist for those who were not familiar with her work. Performing a bold rendition of the title track from 'Let England Shake', she swiftly moved on to earlier material such as 'The Devil'.

Her ability as an artist is applaudable and there is no real variation from the high quality of work in this variable setlist. The emotive way in which PJ delivers her personal sonnets is captivating as you imagine it must be exhausting to continuously lay your soul bare onstage for thousands to see.

Unfortunately, I found the pictures to be the best of the show. Second was PJ's music, but I wasn't blown away by it... It's a pity to say so, but I feel like she stood still in her style, and I feel no surprise as with 'This is England'.

Finally, the American woman leading the show annoyed me with both her pace and her ongoing praise, which felt like a forced feeding to me. I want to like things myself, because I judge them myself, not because someone else repeatedly talks about how great, unique, and special they are.

In general, I was disappointed by the whole show, not the least because listening to PJ's poetry would have been nicer to experience, read by someone else.

I feel really sorry to express my disappointment, but when I would have loved the show, I would have told so as well...

I think this was one of her best performances i've ever seen. PJ Harevey was superb! The band behind her are extraordinary and i loved that she individually introduced them half way through the set. Her voice was exquisite and it was fascinating to see how she dealt with a couple of awkward situations, making everything more intimate and special (the night we saw her) And her outfit was wonderful. I think Brixton Academy is the perfect setting for this kind of gig, particularly the sound system and I’m quite fussy. Absolutely LOVED the show

The majority of the songs she sang were from her last two albums, but she also did some of her classics such as 50 Ft Queenie, Down By The Water, When Under Ether... The band was so perfect and PJ was so full of energy. It was such a dynamic gig, she also stated herself that it was 'wonderful' to be in Istanbul. The audience was so pleased by the performance, almost every song was sung by hundreds. Even after the encore 'Near the Memorials of Vietnam and Lincoln' the crowd didn't dissolve, they eagerly clapped, cheered and asked for more.

What a fabulous show by a fabulous artist and band. the Shrine is magnificent venue; sort of a cross between a factory and a giant European church with great acoustics.

we got in a little late because parking near USC is impossible. but once in we were in heaven.

my favorite was To bring you my love. the best. and by the way, it plays on Peaky Blinders.

dont know her work as well and i should and no music critic but she was in great voice, the band amazing.

well worth going

they need to sell merch!

Energetic. If you like PJs most recent work,The Hope Six Demolition Project and Let England Shake, this concert pleased. John Parish was on hand along with about 6 additional band members, supplying lots of percussion and guitar. PJ was in fine singing form. Show went about an hour and 10 minutes and then a 10 minute encore. Only minor disappointments were the venue and the lack of more early material to balance the new material.

She is perhaps my favourite artist of all time, love all her records, and saw her last time she was in amsterdam. unfortunally her last record of 2016 only has one good track, in my opinion. In her concerts she plays 95% of the time the songs from her last album, then one or maybe two of older songs, therefore I would not recommend to go to her 2016 tour. Such a pity... hope next album is awesome again.

An absolutely mesmerising performance.

Performance is definitely the correct word, the show was the most perfect Edinburgh Festival evening I can remember.

Largely featuring music from the Hope Six Demolition Project but with a selection of classics from her back catalogue, the audience could not help but be entranced.

The only regret we had was that we were not able to go both evenings.

Fabulous and distant, always in charge of everything. A great band, two hours of concert and several interesting moments. The set-list, is exactly the same of the whole tour, includes songs like 'To Bring You My Love', 'Donw By The Water' and 'Shame' in addition to the themes of his last albums. She is unique.

The Trending Video Song

The newly released video of “Seem An I”, directed by Colm Bairéad, starring Ruth Wilson is hitting the internet. The video begins with eerie scenes of a foreboding barn, a tree adorned with a lock of black hair, and a vast meadow. Actress Ruth Wilson, known for her roles in “The Affair” and “Luther,” zooms into the frame, sprinting tirelessly. Shot by director Colm Bairéad at Kennel Farm near Salisbury, England, the clip incorporates Blair Witch-esque close-ups of a wardrobe bearing the scratched-in words “love me tender”. This enigmatic imagery ties into the themes of PJ Harvey’s poetry book, Orlam, which inspired the lyrics for “Seem an I” and the entire album.

Harvey has already mentioned about her friendship with Ruth. ruth and Harvey became friends after working together on Clio Barnard’s film “Dark River”. She always admired Ruth’s work as an actor and dreamed of working with her again. She found the short film beautiful and moving due to Ruth’s magical presence, and Colm’s unique vision.

Watch PJ Harvey pay tribute to Steve Albini at Primavera Sound 2024

The festival recently named a stage after the legendary producer

PJ Harvey dedicated a song to Steve Albini at Primavera Sound  at the weekend.

Harvey and Albini worked together on creating her second studio LP, 1993’s ‘Rid Of Me’.

The legendary record producer – who was the mastermind behind iconic albums such as Nirvana ‘s ‘ In Utero ‘ and Manic Street Preachers ‘ ‘Journal For Plague Lovers’– died last month of a heart attack while at Electronic Audio – his recording studio in Chicago.

On Saturday (May 31) Harvey said during her performance in Barcelona: “I would like to sing this next song in memory of Steve Albini. Steve should have been here for this festival, and it would be nice if you all think of him.”

She then proceeded to perform ‘The Desperate Kingdom Of Love’ from 2004’s ‘Uh Huh Her’. Watch the performance below

Albini was due to play with his band Shellac at the festival last Thursday (May 30).

Recommended

They were fixtures at the Primavera Sound Festival for almost 20 years, performing at every incarnation since 2008. Shellac first played the festival in 2006, missed the following year, returned in 2008 and have played every year after that.

Last month the festival named a stage after Albini in his honour .

A statement from Primavera read at the time: “Farewell, Steve. Although it will be the first year since 2007 in which he will not command the inimitable Shellac at his annual date with his favourite festival, the figure of the late Steve Albini will be more present than ever at Primavera Sound.

“The Steve Albini stage, situated opposite the Plenitude stage, will be a tribute to an irreplaceable member of the Primavera family, although he will, in fact, be honoured in every inch of the Parc del Fòrum, during every second of the festival.”

Following his death, Harvey also paid tribute to the late producer, sharing a photo of the front and back cover of ‘Rid Of Me’ .

She wrote at the time: “Meeting Steve Albini and working with him changed the course of my life. He taught me so much about music, and life. Steve was a great friend – wise, kind and generous. I am so grateful. My thoughts are with him and his family and friends as we suffer his loss.”

Upon its release, ‘Rid Of Me’ landed the Number Three spot on the UK charts and the Number 10 spot on the Bilboard US Heatseekers Albums Chart. The LP would go on to garner admiration from various musicians such as Elastica , Karen O , Courtney Love , Alanis Morissette , Phoebe Bridgers and Ethel Cain .

Primavera Sound Barcelona 2024: 7 Best Things We Saw

By Althea Legaspi

Althea Legaspi

Primavera Sound Barcelona has long been renowned for brilliant lineups in an idyllic setting, the setting flanked by the Mediterranean Sea with the Spanish city as its backdrop. This year’s iteration was no exception, drawing an estimated 193,000 people from around the world to witness an eclectic mix of artists that included Lana Del Rey , SZA, Pulp , Troye Sivan , and PJ Harvey .

But Primavera’s appeal goes beyond the music. It serves as a reminder of what drew fans to festivals for decades prior: bonding over music, feeling a sense of community, and enjoying cultural experiences in an unhurried, relaxed setting. From crowd flow to food offerings to later start times, it was all these little things that — as a Primavera first-timer — added up and took the experience of seeing great music in a great venue from fun to fantastic.

There’s no consensus amid those in the industry on the precipitous lack of ticket sales as we head into summer 2024 summer fest season, but some cite a dearth of headliner talent. Others cite the cost of tickets, which doesn’t even factor in the cost of travel and accommodation for non-locals. There is also the growing push of multiple VIP levels, which even smaller fests like Pitchfork are capitalizing on for the first time, and at some fests the VIP areas take space away from the general ticket holder to get closer to the stage to see their favorite acts.

Editor’s picks

Every awful thing trump has promised to do in a second term, the 250 greatest guitarists of all time, the 500 greatest albums of all time, the 50 worst decisions in movie history.

From catching newer groups like the Last Dinner Party and international acts such as Atarashii Gakko! to seeing legends such as PJ Harvey and Pulp all in a chill setting ,  here are just some of the highlights

You Don’t Even Need a Ticket to Catch Some Primavera Offerings Seriously. Charli XCX , who performed at the fest, also played a free surprise show in the middle of the day on Saturday for anyone who turned up.

Charli XCX Drops Expanded ‘Brat’ Album With 3 New Songs

Sabrina carpenter, charli xcx, tems, and all the songs you need to know this week, taylor swift told lana del rey she wanted pop stardom 'more than anyone' — and she got it.

Committing to Equity In 2018, several festivals pledged to achieve a 50/50 gender balance in its lineups with the goal to achieve it by 2022. Primavera Sound was the first major festival to accomplish it, and they did so beginning in 2019. Its focus on an inclusive lineup — a 42.36 percent equal split of women and male artist ratio, and a 15.28 percent representing non-binary and mixed project musicians — was palpable just strolling between sets at any given moment. And though unfortunately, two major acts pulled out prior to the festival — Kim Petras, who dropped out of her summer fest dates citing “health reasons”; and FKA Twigs , who was also scheduled to perform last year’s installment but did not perform then, either — the intentionality of the festival showcasing diversity was still felt throughout the weekend. Saturday was a standout in this regard, with the topline comprising SZA, PJ Harvey, Mitski, Charli XCX, Bikini Kill, and Romy. Lana Del Rey’s set the night before was also among the most crowded come headliner time. Also shout-out to Japanese girl group Atarashii Gakko!, whose spirited, sassy set showcased quirky, acrobatic choreography and songs that spanned J-pop and J-rock styles with their own playful twists — it was a total delight.

Amaarae was originally slated to perform on Saturday but her time slot and performance day was changed. That meant people could catch her packed set on the first day of the fest. The way her stage was situated, you could see her and hear her perfectly perched to the side of the stage’s location. The same kind of vantage came when heading over to see the Last Dinner Party, whose set included the excellent “My Lady of Mercy” and the whirling dervish deliciousness of “Nothing Matters.” Theirs was an early set for the fest, commencing at 6:50 p.m., yet their stage area was crowded. However, sitting way back from the crowd at the stage we could see and hear everything without obstruction.

All Fests Should Start Later During the official festival days, the first artists do not go on before 4:30 p.m. and that is genius for both artists and attendees. Relatively newer artists, such as the Last Dinner Party, played to a full house. This does also mean that Primavera Sound goes late and hard with the last set ending at 6 a.m., which works well for the jet-lagged set, but it also works well in other ways. Generally, the full-on dance party portions of the lineup begins after 1 a.m. (Justice, Disclosure, Charli XCX all being perfectly scheduled for the late-night post-recharge times) and some fans don’t even arrive until then, or even later (everyone with a fest pass can leave and come back at any time before 3 a.m.). It also means if one is on a budget, one is not stuck inside the venue with no other options but to spend more on food and drink. Speaking of eating, the fest also allows attendees to bring in their own food and an empty water bottle with no cap to refill at water stations. Honestly, this should be the way everywhere.

PJ Harvey performed in a downpour befitting the solemn and sweet goodbye she bid to her friend . Typically not one to banter much between songs, Harvey took a touching moment to reflect on the loss of Albini, who served as the engineer for Harvey’s trailblazing 1993 album, Rid of Me . “I would like to sing this next song in memory of Steve Albini,” she said before performing a goosebump rendering “The Desperate Kingdom of Love,” a heart-wrenching track from 2004’s Uh Huh Her . “Steve should have been here for this festival. And it would be nice if we all think of him for this song.” As well, she performed songs from the album they worked together on, including “50ft Queenie” and “Man-Size.”

Pulp’s Jarvis Cocker paid tribute to two Steves during their set on Thursday. “So, this tour has been a strange one,” he said. “It started in the U.K. last year… and it’s the first tour we’ve done without Steve Mackey our bass player [who died in March 2023 ], he passed away. We intend to dedicate this song to him.

“There’s another Steve that passed away recently, Steve Albini. I know that there’s a stage now named after him here at the festival.” Lightening up the mood a little, he added, “If you’re called Steve, don’t get worried,” he said, cracking a small smile. “This is a song about life, really, about when you meet a certain person, they change your life and your life goes in a direction you could never ever think of.”

They performed “Something Changed” from 1995’s Different Class in honor of Mackey and Albini, who Jarvis worked with on his solo album, 2009’s Further Complications .

New audio: alito bashes propublica for reporting on supreme court ethics, 'late night with seth meyers' cuts ties with live band amid budget cuts, justice alito caught on tape discussing how battle for america ‘can’t be compromised’.

Vampire Weekend didn’t mention the Trump news, but Pulp’s Jarvis Cocker did during their orchestra-backed set that followed. Ever the legendary, charismatic frontman, who commanded the stage with banter and jokingly asked if the audience minded if he had a little rest on a couch onstage between crowd favorites that included “Disco 2000,” “This Is Hardcore,” and after “Pink Glove” — he wasn’t going to let history slip by without comment. “Maybe things will change. Donald Trump got found guilty on all charges,” he said, raising his arms in the air to loud cheers. “That could be good, see the fucker in prison.”

So, thanks for making history, Vampire Weekend, Pulp, and Primavera Sound, it’s these unforgettable shared musical memories that will long resonate. Hasta la próxima!
