Clairo<\/a> has announced that she will be unable to play at this year\u2019s Primavera Sound<\/a> in Barcelona due to \u201clogistical issues\u201d.<\/p>\n

The artist had been due to play the festival on Saturday June 6<\/a>, sharing the bill that day with Sabrina Carpenter<\/a>, HAIM<\/a>, Beach House<\/a>, TV On The Radio<\/a>, Wet Leg<\/a> and others. The Parc Del F\u00f2rum\u00a0bash will see its other days headlined by Charli XCX<\/a> and Chappell Roan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, on Friday (May 9), the festival confirmed with a post on its Instagram Stories that Clairo will now not be appearing this year after all.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are deeply saddened by this news and share the fans\u2019 frustration,\u201d Primavera wrote. \u201cWe, too, were very much looking forward to welcoming her again at Primavera Sound Barcelona.\u201d<\/p>\n

They then shared a message from Clairo herself, who said: \u201cUnfortunately, I\u2019m not able to make it to Primavera this year and I\u2019m so sad about it, because Primavera is iconic and returning to the fest is something I\u2019ve been looking forward to for ages.\u201d<\/p>\n

She continued: \u201cThere are some logistical issues with getting my show to\/from Primavera that have forced my hand here. I never want to give my fans anything but the absolute best set I can do, and that won\u2019t be possible at this time. I\u2019m so sorry again and I hope to be able to make it up to you sooner than later.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clairo is still scheduled to play at a number of festivals this summer, including Governor\u2019s Ball in New York<\/a>, BST Hyde Park in London<\/a>, Hinterland in Iowa<\/a>, Lollapalooza in Chicago<\/a> and All Things Go in Washington and New York<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She also played at Coachella last month, where her set was introduced by Bernie Sanders<\/a>, who praised her campaign work and called on her fans to \u201cfight for social justice\u201d.<\/p>\n

Last year\u2019s edition of Primavera, meanwhile, saw sets from the likes of Pulp, Lana Del Rey, The National, SZA and Troye Sivan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In\u00a0a four-star review of the festival,\u00a0NME\u00a0<\/a>concluded: \u201cAfter a weekend in its midst, it\u2019s not hard to see why Primavera Sound is so beloved. There are few gripes to be had here, and the main one is the several agonising clashes you have to do battle with each day \u2013 a problem that can only come with having such a stacked line-up in the first place. A fun, freeing few days in Barcelona full of great music is never something to complain about, though. Roll on 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n
