On its website, the festival wrote: "Since the 2019 announcement of Primavera Sound's landing in the United States to the celebration of the first edition of Primavera Sound Los Angeles, a lot has happened, perhaps too much.

"Two years that have seemed like two centuries, but finally the time has come, and Primavera’s excitement about our California debut has only increased!"

The LA version of the event was first announced in 2019, with plans to take place over two days in autumn 2020—plans that were ultimately delayed by the pandemic.
