Primavera Sound Madrid cancels their opening day due to bad weather

After holding its Barcelona edition last weekend, Primavera Sound is currently being held in Madrid. After their opening night, yesterday (7 June) – which featured performances from Pet Shop Boys, Confidence Man, and Jake Bugg – the festival was set to have its full opening day today.

Due to "persistent severe weather experienced in recent weeks that have affected the pre-production of the festival and in view of the adverse forecast that is expected", organisers of the festival, alongside the city council and local police force, have decided to cancel today's scheduled line-up out of safety concerns.
