The Playlist That Made Me Enjoy The Festival Even More

The Story Behind This Playlist

Primavera Sound 2023 was my first ever PS—even though I’m from Barcelona.

As soon as the line-up dropped, I jumped into one of my favorite parts of the whole experience: discovering the artists and curating my own playlist.

I created it with the friend I was going with, using a collaborative Spotify playlist.

Sure, the official playlist was already there (and a thousand others too), but making our own just felt way more personal.

When I Used This Playlist

During the months leading up to the festival. We’d share songs, thoughts, discoveries—and the playlist kept evolving with us.

And now? It’s something I still play to revisit that moment.

How This Playlist Helped Me

It helped me connect more deeply with the artists before seeing them live. I had already built memories with those songs—they were part of my routine, my conversations, my headspace.

So when the festival came around, the sets were even more special.

That’s when I realized: curating your own playlist makes the festival yours.
So if you’re going to a festival soon: don’t just use the official playlist. Curate your own. Make it yours.

Prompts That Helped Me

Who’s on the lineup that I don’t know yet?

Which songs make me feel something—even before seeing the artist live?

Which artists do I want to explore further after the festival?

If I were a playlist, the title would be short and sweet (and creative), the description would include a pop culture reference, and the thumbnail would be a late ’90s anime frame with a nostalgic aesthetic…

Wait a moment... This is exactly how my playlists are!!!
