Primavera a la Ciutat is the parallel and complementary festival of Primavera Sound. At Apolo, there will be amazing concerts featuring techno, EDM and reggaeton music styles through the artistic works of the Pet Shop Boys, Dave P. and DJ Playero.

Pet Shop Boys have been a pure declaration of love for performance art. To pop as a conglomeration of artistic currents, of glitter, fashions and eternities. Of styles and choreographies. There is a reason why they are attributed with the conception of the scenic matrix of electronic pop shows. After all, Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe's aim has always been to stand on stage to explain what their dreams are made of.

Dave P. has been proving all his life that a party can also be a transcendent experience. Whether it's his Making Time radio show or the sessions of the same name he gives around the world, this Philadelphia DJ who likes to call himself a "futuristic musical warrior of the night" creates inclusive electronic discourses.

In Puerto Rico they were dancing to reggaeton long before they knew what the name of the accelerated mix of reggae, dance hall and hip hop in Spanish they were dancing to was. Although the authorship of the naming in question is claimed on several fronts, in 1992 there was a certain consensus in dividing up the leading role between Daddy Yankee and DJ Playero. Three decades later, at the height of the genre's global explosion, the freshest reggaeton is still being served up by Playero in his sessions.
