Primavera Sound '26
The Xx join The Cure’s Primavera Sound ’26 opener with alternative pop, dream pop and alternative dance textures.
UK indie/dream pop trio
The xx stand out as one of the United Kingdom’s most influential alternative pop and alternative dance groups. Emerging in 2005, this acclaimed British indie pop trio has left a distinct mark on contemporary music through their genre-blending soundscapes and minimalist aesthetic. Known for tracks such as “Basic Space” and “Angels,” The xx continue to expand their creative reach, with live remixes and collaborations that highlight their unique musical vision.
The group’s discography features celebrated releases like the album “I See You” and innovative singles including “Shelter (live remix 2017)” and “Stranger in a Room (live 2016).” Their 2018 “Remixes” album showcases an adventurous approach to reimagining their material, further reinforcing their reputation for emotive songwriting and inventive production. These releases, both live and studio, have captivated fans and critics alike, positioning The xx at the forefront of alternative pop and dance music.
In June 2026, The xx are billed as a main support act for The Cure at Primavera Sound in Barcelona, sharing the stage with noted artists such as Doja Cat, Gorillaz, and Massive Attack. This placement at one of Europe’s premier music festivals underscores their enduring appeal and influence within the world of live music and international concert stages.
