It looks like Travis Scott’s
unofficial exile is finally ending this autumn. Brazilian festival Primavera Sound has released its inaugural 2022 Sao Paulo lineup, which features Travis as its Sunday headliner alongside Australian pop star Lorde. They’ll top a roster that includes Arca, Charli XCX, Father John Misty, Phoebe Bridgers, Caroline Polachek, Japanese Breakfast, Jpegmafia, and Raveena.
Also appearing on the flyer are Arctic Monkeys and Bjork, who will headline the Saturday lineup including Beach House, Interpol, Mitski, Helado Negro, and a slew of Brazilian acts. The São Paulo-based festival is booked for the weekend of November 5-6 at Distrito Anhembi. Tickets go on sale beginning today at noon local time. You can find more information
