Shouldn’t we all get to go Barcelona and listen to great music? Isn’t that your life is missing? It sounds positively delightful to us. Primavera rounded out their lineup today, and, like NYC’s Governor’s Ball, the lineup is ridiculous. The Catalonians put the headline emphasis on alt/indie rock heavy-hitters (Phoenix, Grizzly Bear, The Postal Service, Blur, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, My Bloody Valentine, Band of Horses), but dig into the lineup at all and you’ll find excellence in whatever genre tickles your fancy. Just check out the poster below, there’s too many for us to list.

Primavera Sound 2013 will go down May 22-26th. Tickets are available for 160€ (approx $212) at the festival’s official site. Here is the full lineup:

Blur, My Bloody Valentine, Wu-Tang Clan (!), The Knife, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Phoenix, The Postal Service, Fiona Apple, Hot Chip, The Breeders performing Last Splash, Swans, Band of Horses, Deerhunter, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Dexys, James Blake, Animal Collective, Grizzly Bear, Crystal Castles, Death Grips, Local Natives, Tinariwen, Rodriguez, Daniel Johnston, Neurosis, Dinosaur Jr., Shellac, Hot Snakes, Bob Mould, John Talabot, Disclosure, Killer Mike, Solange, Jessie Ware, Liars, Dead Can Dance, and Fuck Buttons, Neko Case, Kurt Vile and the Violators, Fucked Up, Meat Puppets, Dan Deacon, Four Tet, Foxygen, Simian Mobile Disco, The Vaccines, Thee Oh Sees, Matthew E.
