Primavera Sound Los Angeles 2022

After years of pandemic-enforced postponements, Barcelona’s Primavera Sound festival finally made its long-promised Los Angeles debut. Last weekend (September 16 – 19), the Spanish-founded festival welcomed huge acts, including Nine Inch Nails, Fontaines D.C., Arctic Monkeys, Lorde, Clairo and more, across three formidable stages set beneath LA’s downtown skyline.

Photographer Kevin Condon was on hand to capture all the live action from the weekend’s biggest and best acts for NME. Here’s your all-access pass to Primavera Sound Los Angeles.
