The line-up for Primavera Sound Santiago is yet to be announced, but it has been revealed that the first edition will be a seven-day event in November 2022. During the week, the festival will host events in spaces throughout Santiago, before moving to Bicentennial Park in Cerrillos for the weekend.

Gabi Ruiz, director of Primavera Sound said, "The relationship between Primavera Sound and Chile goes back a long way, not only because of all the Chilean artists who have played at the festival. There has always been a great relationship with Chilean institutions, and, in fact, Chile has been one of the countries that has accompanied us most often in Barcelona as part of Primavera Pro. A Primavera Sound in Santiago is the best way to take this relationship to the next level and to continue creating a community. A Primavera Sound in Chile was, basically, necessary. It had to happen."
