We’ve been pining for Primavera Sound ever since they last sent us word of their festival back in February. Where have they been? Why haven’t they called? Sweet relief today, then, as they return with the latest batch of acts lined-up for Barcelona in May.

Topping the list are The Sonics, Devo, Shellac and Explosions in the Sky, but there’s more fun further down the bill - Times New Viking, Devastations and Drowned in Sound DJs all loitering on the undercard.

In full:

Devo
Shellac
