Slowdive are fresh from a career high with last year's everything is alive, and 2024 marks ten years since their reformation for Primavera Sound.

Among the festival undercard are some modern legends – the likes of Yo La Tengo, Camera Obscura, Sleater-Kinney, CASISDEAD and John Talabot – alongside artists pushing the envelope for where music can go next: Jockstrap, Lip Critic, Ichiko Aoba, Militarie Gun, Snõõper, Sprints and the mighty Lankum.
