\n\tOlivia Rodrigo<\/a> is making a surprise appearance at Primavera Sound<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn Saturday (June 6), the 23-year-old pop star took to social media to reveal that she\u2019ll perform an unannounced set later that evening at the Barcelona festival<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSurprise!!!\u201d Rodrigo captioned a photo shared to her Instagram Stories<\/a> showing the singer giving a thumbs up amid a large festival crowd. \u201cSee you tonight primavera_sound \u2026 I\u2019m excited.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe \u201cVampire\u201d hitmaker is scheduled to take the Occident Stage at 10:25 p.m. local time.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSpilling our guts,\u201d the festival wrote in its own Instagram<\/a> post alongside a photo of Rodrigo.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe surprise performance comes less than a week before the release of Rodrigo\u2019s third studio album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, which arrives June 12. The project\u2019s first two singles, \u201cDrop Dead\u201d and \u201cThe Cure,\u201d debuted at No. 1 and No. 5, respectively, on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.<\/p>\n

\n\tRodrigo was last in Spain in early May for her Billions Club Live show<\/a> in Barcelona. The one-night-only event brought together 1,500 of the singer\u2019s most devoted Spanish fans at the historic outdoor venue Teatre Grec. During the intimate performance, Rodrigo sang eight of her nine Billions Club tracks, along with fan favorites from her first two albums and her OR3 lead single, \u201cDrop Dead.\u201d Billions Club Live with Olivia Rodrigo: A Concert Film premiered on Spotify<\/a> on May 27.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe singer also announced in late April that she\u2019ll be hitting the road<\/a> in support of You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love. The 65-date Unraveled Tour will feature multiple-night arena engagements across North America, Europe and the U.K. beginning Sept. 25 at PeoplesBank Arena in Hartford, Connecticut.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe global trek is scheduled to conclude with a two-night stand at Barcelona\u2019s Palau Sant Jordi on May 1 and 2.<\/p>\n

\n\tMeanwhile, headlining sets from Doja Cat and Massive Attack at Primavera Sound on Thursday (June 4) were canceled due to extreme weather<\/a> in Barcelona.<\/p>\n

\n\tThursday marked the opening day of the three-day festival, but severe conditions forced organizers to shut down programming early. After Geese performed through a chaotic rainstorm, sets by Alex G, Mac DeMarco and Bad Gyal were also canceled, along with the night\u2019s headlining performances.<\/p>\n

\n\tPrimavera Sound resumed as planned on its second day, featuring performances from The Cure, Skrillex, PinkPantheress, Ethel Cain, Role Model, My Bloody Valentine and others.<\/p>\n
