Primavera Sound hit by rain as Massive Attack, Doja Cat and Bad Gyal cancel opening night amid backlash over communications
Heavy rain at Primavera Sound 2026 forced the opening-night cancellations of Massive Attack, Bad Gyal and Doja Cat, following earlier disruptions; fans criticised the festival for poor on-site communication as announcements on screens were lacking. Organisers said they tried to move acts to other stages and offered refunds for Thursday’s tickets, while Doja Cat posted an apology. The festival noted some performances could resume later and forecast gave Friday a drier outlook.
