Primavera have announced Frank Ocean's replacement
Jamie xx is set to play Primavera Sound this weekend in Barcelona after Frank Ocean confirmed another festival no-show.
Ocean pulled his set just a few days before the beginning of the festival due to "production delays beyond his control". Refunds are available for those with day tickets for Friday 2 June, the day Ocean was due to play.
The cancellation, although late, comes as little surprise after axed appearances at Sasquatch! and Hangout in North America - shows that were supposed to be his first since the release of last year's Blonde and Endless records.

Rising Spanish experimentalist RRUCCULLA is also joining the festivities over on the La [2] de Apolo stage. The Basque artist has a busy week ahead - she's set to play with Blaenavon at the second edition of our Madrid-based club night on 31 May.
Ocean still has a range of festival dates in the diary, with his next festival dates scheduled for 9 June at Denmark's NorthSide and 10-11 June at Manchester's Parklife.
