Primavera Festival Announced in Playa del Carmen

The biggest dance party in Mexico is set to extend, in Playa del Carmen, this April. Those who attend will be making history, as this will be the first Primavera Festival. That will no doubt provide much kudos for festival-goers, in ten years time, when the annual party is well established. (Imagine that you'd been at the first Burning Man or Glastonbury.)


The four day festival may be brand new, but the organizers are veterans of the scene. They are the same people behind the already massive BPM Festival, which descends upon Playa del Carmen every January. The 2011 gathering attracted over 18000 people, from 20 different countries, raving to the electronic sounds of 120 internationally renowned DJs. A podcast from Lee Burridge's set can be found here.

UK born, New York based, globally massive DJ Lee Burridge will be amongst those also headlining Primavera. There is a European theme here, with DJ Sasha (UK) and DJ Sander Kleinenberg (Netherlands) already signed up to lead the electronic bonanza.


The full programme currently looks like this:

April 21 Lee Burridge @ La Santanera
April 22 Sander Kleinenberg @ Blue Parrot Beach Club
April 23 Sasha @ Blue Parrot Beach Club
