Charli XCX, Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan: Inside Primavera's pop takeover
As nostalgia-fuelled reunions lure dads back to Wembley in weathered bucket hats, a new kind of crowd is taking over the summer circuit. Forget guitars and glory days, Hot Pop Summer is here, and it exploded into life at Primavera Sound 2025. This year's Barcelona edition was headlined by three of pop's biggest forces: Charli XCX, Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan. Fans quickly crowned them the 'Primavera Powerpuff Girls' — and from surprise cameos to screaming crowds, they more than lived up to the name. Charli XCX's inclusion brought with it the one and only European stop of the Sweat Tour. 'We didn't announce the Sweat Tour because we had Charli,' said Marta Pallarès Olivares, Head of Press & Corporate Relations at Primavera Sound. 'Then it was from her side they said, 'Hey, the guys are so excited. They would like to bring the Sweat Tour exclusively to you for Europe.' And then we said, 'Yeah, of course.'' Chappell Roan's booking was a saga of its own. 'Chappell wasn't touring and it was the director of the festival — he had been saying, 'We need her. I want her,'' Marta recalled. 'And at one point he said, speaking to the booking department, 'I don't care if you have to get on a boat with fishermen in Norway and get to an island where she's staying and get her out of retirement. I want her.' 'It wasn't Norway, it was London. Two members of the booking department went there and spoke to her. And she said, 'You're telling me you have Sabrina and you have Charli?'' The result? A sell-out event before Christmas. Charli kicked off the festival in full Brat mode: glitchy, sweaty, unfiltered electro-pop chaos alongside Sivan. Midway through her set, she handed the spotlight to a surprise guest for her now-iconic 'Apple dance girl' moment — and the crowd erupted when Chappell Roan appeared. Wearing sunglasses and a mischievous grin, Roan nailed the choreography to cheers from the crowd, just two days before she's set to headline her own night of the festival on Saturday. 'Seeing Chappell just come on that screen — what female comradery!' said Mich Mayer, Head of Production and Creative at Amazon Music, who helped bring the moment to fans worldwide via livestream. Sabrina Carpenter's set offered a polished contrast — complete with slick choreography, playful video intros, crowd-pleasing pop covers and a Pony-inspired dance break, all fine-tuned for the Barcelona crowd. On Saturday, Chappell Roan delivered a headline set that felt like a full-blown pop baptism — glitter-soaked, theatrical, and totally commanding. Closing with Pink Pony Club felt less like a song and more like a spiritual experience. 'It's amazing,' Mayer said. 'When I saw the headliners after they announced it, I was like 'OMG'. I'm such a fan of all three headliners. The bookings here are incredible, and to be back for a third year livestreaming — fourth year as a festival partner — is just absolutely incredible and feels like a real privilege.' While the stars lit up the main stage, the story behind the scenes was just as significant. Primavera made headlines in 2019 for being the first major festival to book a gender-balanced line-up — and this year, it went even further with three solo female headliners under 35. 'When we announced the first gender-balanced line-up ever, not just for the festival but for any festival our size, we called it the new normal,' Pallarès Olivares said. 'It was normal to us. We couldn't understand why this wasn't happening — because this is the music we're passionate about, it's the music we listen to, it's the music that's getting all the awards, all the Grammys. Why is this music not on stage?' 'We are a little bit naughty,' she added. 'So we thought, 'Now what?' Three female headliners under 35, no less. And we proved that this can also be done. It is very true that we were very lucky because they were up there, absolutely undeniable — three of the best records out there right now.' Backing up Pallarès Olivares' remarks, Kirdis Postelle, Global Head of Content & Artist Marketing at Amazon Music, said: 'It's really an honour to have three female headliners and for this particular team to be able to deliver this livestream. It's an honour to be part of this, this year.' And Hot Pop Summer isn't just stopping in Barcelona. Charli headlines London's Lido Festival on June 14. Olivia Rodrigo tops the BST Hyde Park bill. Carpenter follows suit with two shows at the London festival. Billie Eilish plays six nights at the O2. Lana Del Rey and Beyoncé take over Wembley and Tottenham Stadiums. But it was Primavera that set the tone.

‘Gut feeling more important than social media likes', says festival promoter
A leading music festival promoter has said 'gut feeling' is more than important than social media likes when booking headline acts. John Giddings, who has run the Isle of Wight Festival since it restarted in 2002, said performers need to be able to 'deliver' to a crowd and not just keep their attention on a phone screen. The 72-year-old, who represents artists ranging from Blondie to Phil Collins, told the PA news agency: 'It's gut feeling, really. I've learned the hard way in my years in the music business that some people might have sold a lot of records, but they're useless when it comes to performing. 'You want to book acts that have a catalogue that's going to entertain an audience for an hour, hour and a half, and, secondly, someone who's capable of performing to an audience of 50,000 people in a field, because they need to be able to project to entertain. 'When you look back on who we've had – Blur, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, the (Rolling) Stones – they're all capable of delivering, even if it's pouring with rain, which it doesn't that much on the Isle of Wight, thank God. 'But you've got to be prepared for everything and it's quality of performance, really. 'I do know artists who've had a million views on TikTok who can't sell 300 tickets at a club in London. Just because all these people want to watch them on socials doesn't mean they're going to pay money to go and see them in a field.' Mr Giddings – who also manages through his Solo music agency touring shows for some of the world's biggest names such as Madonna, U2 and Beyonce – said that as well as classic acts, he needs to keep an eye on the breakthrough bands. He said: 'Because I'm older, we book acts from past, present and future, there's a discussion in the office as to what new bands are coming up, and you're projecting as to what they're going to be doing in the year's or nine months' time. 'I'll never forget when I booked The Darkness when they first started out, they were supporting someone at Brixton Academy, and I went down there, and I walked in, and Justin (Hawkins) was sitting on the shoulders of his roadie, walking through the audience, playing the lead solo. 'I thought, 'blimey, this is the music I grew up on', and then they came and played the Isle of Wight and blew everyone away.' Mr Giddings said he was always on the lookout for new acts, adding: 'If the truck driver comes up with a good idea and it's a better idea than mine, then go for it, you can't be that arrogant to just believe what you think yourself. 'We've got 15 stages on the Isle of Wight, so whatever stage you're at in your career, you can play one of those stages.' Mr Giddings said one of his highlights from the Isle of Wight Festival was Jay Z and added: 'I remember thinking 50,000 people couldn't go wilder, and then Kanye West walked on with them and it exploded, and I turned to my left, and there was Beyonce standing there – I thought 'It couldn't get better than this'.' Mr Giddings said that he remembered the classic Isle of Wight Festival of 1970, which saw 600,000 hippies descend on the island causing the event to be outlawed for 32 years, and added: 'I remember walking over the hill, it was like going to the Battle of the Somme and you could smell them before you saw them.' After 23 years of organising the Isle of Wight Festival, he said: 'I absolutely love it, which is my downfall because I work all the time, I never think I've actually had a job. 'There's nothing better than sitting in an office in Fulham in November and it's wet and windy outside, and you're imagining putting an act on in a field on the Isle of Wight in June, and then you see it nine months later and people are going wild to it. 'It's the most satisfying thing ever to provide entertainment for people.' The Isle of Wight Festival 2025, which is being headlined by Sting, Stereophonics and Justin Timberlake, runs from June 19 to 22 at Seaclose Park, Newport.
