Fcukers
New York City-based Fcukers is the most exciting duo in electronic music right now. Formed by Shannon Wise and Jackson Walker Lewi in 2022, they have been making waves with their unique blend of ‘90s-inspired basslines, gritty live percussion and cutting-edge synth work.

Fcukers’ explosive live shows are known for getting the crowd moving, delivering an experience that feels as much like a rave as a music festival set.
Nourished By Time
Marcus Brown A.K.A. Nourished By Time is a genre breaking superstar in the making whose unique soulful voice blended with elements from '80s funk and soul with futuristic production transports the listeners to a rich and groovy experience that feels both classic and innovative. In the past years he has gained a large following in the underground music scene with tracks such as “Hell of a Ride”, and Primavera Sound will be the perfect stage for him to connect with a larger audience.
With a brand new single “Max Potential” out, and the follow up to his acclaimed debut record Erotic Probiotic 2 coming later in the year, we can't wait to see what he has to offer. If you appreciate music that’s both thought-provoking and captivating, his set will be a special one.
Amore
AMORE, the Spanish singer and producer also known as María Moreno, has been rising through the ranks of the indie and experimental music scene.

Her debut album Top Hits, Ballads, Etc… was included in Pitchfork’s guide of upcoming albums of the year, and promises to expand the world she’s created with her singles “Querío” and “Last Maria On Earth”.

Pittsburgh-based noise-pop band feeble little horse is known for their unpredictable sounds. It's a band that reflects the joys of making music with close friends. Playing new music and fan favorites from their albums Girl with Fish and Hayday such as "Freak” and “Tin Man", their set promises to deliver glitchy beats, teen angst and an experimental edge which is exactly what makes their music so captivating.
With their first music out in almost 2 years and this being their first time in Europe, Primavera Sound 2025 has been a long awaited opportunity for their fans to experience their live show. If you’re a fan of indie rock, shoegaze, or just enjoy the chaotic energy of a live show, a feeble little horse’s set is where you want to be.
