Shellac’s Primavera Sound Presence to Be Immortalized With Stage Named After Steve Albini

Primavera Sound named a stage after Steve Albini, who performed at the festival with his band Shellac for nearly two decades before his recent death.

Committed to immortalizing their legacy, Primavera Sound has renamed the stage Shellac were going to appear on in honor of the late musician. Shellac last appeared at Primavera Sound in 2023, performing at Spain’s Barcelona and Madrid iterations of the festival, along with its installment in Porto, Portugal. “On Thursday at 18:55, when Shellac’s free rock was scheduled to storm back into the festival like a ritual: at that time their stage will become the meeting point for fans who want to say goodbye to Albini while their new album, To All Trains, is playing,” the fest’s statement continued.
