These words were said by Rob Challice, co- founder of the booking agency Coda and it sums up the general feeling at the eighth edition of Primavera Pro, the meeting that brings together professionals from the music business during the week of Primavera Sound. Hearing such notable voices of experience in the music of the last 30 years such as Billy Bragg, Viv Albertine (The Slits), Geoff Barrow (Portishead) and the musician and producer Youth this year has fused with the exciting discourse of the new generations, who have given a clear picture of the revolutions still to come such as that of blockchain (by Imogen Heap, founder of Mycelia), innovative ways of reinvigorating and regenerating the sector (like Caroline SM, a Londoner of only 22 years of age who is already an essential player in the British music industry) and ground breaking artistic visions (as is the case of Carlota Guerrero, the Barcelona photographer responsible for the art work on Solange’s latest album). There were almost 3300 accredited professionals of 55 different nationalities at Primavera Pro 2017, and a great many of them participated in the 125 activities programmed from Wednesday 31st May to Friday 2nd June in the Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona (CCCB). The site has now consolidated itself as the ideal home for a meeting which combines comfort with the luxury setting of the Pati de les Dones, where, once again, there was the networking area and the Day Pro stage on which a large number of newcomer bands from 12 different countries. The different sections of Primavera Pro have also firmly established themselves: Primavera Pro Startups awarded their prize to the Berlin application Uberchord, which brings the teaching of music into the XXI century, and Primavera Pro On- Screen centred its focus on the possibilities offered by Virtual Reality applied to music, another revolution on the horizon. Also the third editions of the International Congresses of Independent Labels and of Concert Venues have consolidated themselves as the ideal meeting point to discuss specific topics 2 such as the mission of independent labels in 2017 and the need to further the development of musical cities. And of course, Primavera Pro 2017 has not been short of debates. Burning issues such as Brexit have been discussed in great detail only to reach the conclusion that nobody knows exactly what repercussions there will be, while the resale of tickets was the subject of a heated discussion between promoters and ticketing companies, proving the need for a regulation in the sector. But on the whole reasons for optimism predominated. Or as the legendary Billy Bragg said at the end of his emotional chat with the journalist Antonio Baños: “The glass is always half full”. 3 Primavera Sound 2017 in numbers Public: 200,000 Number of live shows: 346 Number of Artists: 264 Primavera Pro: Professionals accredited: 3.300 Activities (conferences, presentations, networking sessions, etc): 125 Primavera Pro Showcases: 75 4 Line Up Primavera Sound 2017 !!!
