PRIMAVERA CLUB 09

HAPPENINGText: Julio Cesar Palacio from Panopttic

Once again the Primavera Club exploded upon the city with 4 days of independent music performances. This time maybe the most exciting of line-ups of the last editions were the sound of anti-folk, electronic pop, psycodelich rock, were presented simultaneously between Madrid and Barcelona. The festival that was born in 2006 is getting bigger every year and the audience expectations are growing as much as with the bigger brother Primavera Sound.

This edition was different because the organization set up the festival in several venues around the city, some of them really small but perfect for the proposals they presented. The previous years we arrived to the big Forum Auditori and it was easy to move in such a big space, but this time the music lovers have to mark down the shows they preferred and run to the venues as the capacities were often very small. So many times the venues hung “Capacity Full” signs on the door leaving many people outside.
