If Pavement were the obvious throwback band of weekend one of Primavera Sound in Barcelona, there was another hit of nostalgia evident across the second weekend, with seminal noughties guitar bands the Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Interpol spread across three days.
The Strokes had to cancel their appearance on the first weekend, which might explain why their crowd was one of the biggest of the second instalment, due to Julian Casablancas being hit with Covid - one of a number of bands affected on the festival lineup.
