Written by Robert Nicholson | Feb 12, 2014 03:25 PM

PrimaveraPro submissions are now open, which means that four lucky Sonicbids artists will be heading to Spain! Sonicbids will be providing two artists from North America or South America with a travel stipend of $1,000 USD each, one artist based in Europe (excluding Spain) with a travel stipend of 500 EUR, and one Spanish artist with a travel stipend of 200 EUR.

The PrimaveraPro Conference will be taking place at one of Europe's top festivals, Primavera Sound. Located right on the Barcelona seafront and in one of the most attractive spaces of the Parc del Forum, PrimaveraPro is the perfect opportunity to network and to soak up the latest trends in independent music. The headliners for this year's Primavera Sound festival include Arcade Fire, The National, Pixies, Slowdive, Nine Inch Nails, Queens of the Stone Age, and more.

Four Sonicbids artists will receive:

  • Registrations for the whole tour party, up to four people per band.
  • Accommodation for the tour party (two double rooms per band) and dinner for the entire tour party the night of their show.
  • Performance slot at the PrimaveraPro area of the Primavera Sound festival.
  • Access to the DayPro area and participation in the exclusive activities for professionals that will take place there: branch lounge, conferences, workshops, meetings, showcases, receptions, etc.
  • Access to the NightPro area, exclusive for professionals, press, and artists, located inside the Primavera Sound 2014 festival site, with all types of facilities (ocean pools, special discounts at the bar, restaurant, press set) and participation in the activities that will take place there.
  • Inclusion in and access to the Directory of Professionals.
  • Access to all the concerts in the lineup of the Primavera Sound 2014 festival.

The quality of artists coupled with the diversity of the program has made Primavera Sound a clear international reference for independent music. Apply now and join over 100 artists at this year’s Primavera Sound.
