Perfume Perform First Festival Outside Japan Since 2019 at Primavera Sound Barcelona

On June 1, Perfume graced the stage at one of Europe’s largest music festivals — Primavera Sound 2023 in Barcelona — for their first festival appearance outside Japan since 2019.

The last time the trio had performed outside its home country was when it hit the Indio desert for a set at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in California.

During their Primavera set, Perfume treated the festival crowd to a total of nine songs over the course of an hour including “Polyrhythm” — featured in the soundtrack for the Disney/Pixar-produced 2011 movie Cars 2 — “FLASH” and “Chocolate Disco.” The electro-pop group consisting of a-chan, NOCCHi and KASHIYUKA is also scheduled to perform as part of the festival’s Madrid lineup on Thursday (June 8).

Perfume also hopped over to London on June 3 for their first headlining concert in nine years at the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire in the U.K., titled Perfume LIVE 2023 “CODE OF PERFUME.”
