The National, Pixies, Haim and more rock day two of Primavera Sound

Day two of Primavera Sound saw through the rain to a dramatic climax, with The National, Pixies, Haim, War On Drugs and more all playing blistering sets last night (Friday 30 May, 2014).

Once again, torrential rain saw the Parc Del Forum on the coast of Barcelona washed out, creating huge puddles in the main arena and seeing many festival-goers spending the early evening fleeing for shelter.

As a result, Jenny Lewis' set was cancelled (which genuinely upset us) but that didn't stop John Grant from pulling off one hell of an early evening show, drawing from across his eclectic back catalogue to keep his wet fans' spirits high.

Then over on the ATP Stage, the clouds parted and the sun shone once again for a fittingly hazy set from shoegaze icons Loop - who dazzled and hypnotised their soaked masses of fans with a monolithic wall of seminal hits.

That was the last we saw of the rain, which was brilliant news for those who caught blues legend Dr John, catching his feel good set of classic rockers as the sun beamed down over the sea at the Ray Bans amphitheatre stage - before ultimate summer festival band Haim were the main draw over at the Heineken Stage, helping their legions of fans forget the rain with a relentless barrage of hits in the form of their infectious blend of R n B beats with open road Americana.
