Watch The Avalanches Play First Gig In 15 Years At Primavera Sound

Staff Writer

FOMO on high

More The Avalanches The Avalanches Profile

After a decade-and-a-half of teasing, The Avalanches last week finally unveiled their new album, Wildflower, as well as their first new single in 15 years, Frankie Sinatra.

To mark the occasion, the band also took to Barcelona's famous Primavera Sound festival to celebrate their return. The Avalanches were originally slated to play their comeback gig at the Ramsgate Music Hall in the UK on 1 June, but the show was postponed.

Playing a couple of new cuts — a track called Subways they teased last month — as well as classics like Frontier Psychiatrist, check out some fan-shot footage of the band's triumphant return.
