Primavera Sound Backs Out of Plans for 2020 London Edition

Organizers reportedly could not get a permit granted for the site soon enough to put on an event of their standards. But that doesn't mean the event is done for good, just most likely postponed a year. 

“They [organizers] want it to be as perfect as possible,” a source tells IQ. “They could organize it for next year, but now the feeling is it’s better to wait until 2021.”

Since the Barcelona festival’s 2019 edition (May 27-June 3), Primavera Sounds’s website has teased two new festivals for 2020 with blurry images of two new locations. What appeared to be a fuzzy image of the Hollywood sign on the festival’s was confirmed to be a placeholder for Primavera Sound Los Angeles. In June, Primavera Sound announced the Los Angeles festival for Sept. 19-20, 2020 in partnership with Live Nation.

A blurry image of what appears to be the London Eye still lingers with question marks in place of dates and location.
