Even at the end of last year’s event, The organization itself launched early birds (advance tickets at a lower price), which now must be reimbursed.

”Our reunion plans scheduled for late November and early December of this year, with festivals in Buenos Aires and São Paulo and Primavera Day in Montevideo and Asunción, unfortunately they will have to wait. Current circumstances lead us to communicate that Primavera Sound will not take place in Latin America in 2024because external difficulties prevent us from holding events that are up to the standards that the public who has supported us so much deserve,” they added.
Finally, they assured that This cancellation does not mean that the festival will not be held again in the region.but surely for many of the people who bought their tickets it will be hard to believe that Primavera Sound will see the light again in our country: ”This is undoubtedly a difficult decision, taken after many months of work and after undertaking numerous avenues to be able to celebrate these events with guarantees.
