Primavera Pro is a convention aimed at music industry professionals and is organised together with the Primavera Sound Festival. The trendsetting character of the festival has marked Barcelona as a strategic meeting point for cultural exchange between Europe, North America and Latin America. Primavera Pro 2019 takes place from May 29 until June 2, celebrating its 10th anniversary.
Primavera Pro offers the ideal setting to channel synergies between professionals from different areas of the sector and is the perfect opportunity to expand networks and soak up the latest trends in the international music scene.
As part of Primavera Pro 2019, an Austrian Heartbeats Reception on May 30 will present the Austrian band 5K HD in Barcelona. Fronted by the versatile singer Mira Lu Kovacs, the band consists of Martin Eberle (trumpets), Benny Omerzell (keys), Manu Mayr (bass) and Lukas König (drums).
If you want to get to know more about Austrian Music Export, our tasks and experiences, you may also register for a mentoring session with Franz Hergovich.

The Austrian “supergroup” 5K HD plays with partly acoustic, partly electronic sounds and without ever losing sight of a pop sensibility while moving fluently through jazz, dubstep, breakbeats, funk and even into a prog rock escalation. Their singer Mira Lu Kovacs (Schmieds Puls) is regarded as one of the most expressive voices in the scene. 5K HD released their debut “And To In A” to international critical acclaim in 2017, followed by lauded performances and sold out shows all over Europe.
In April 2019, 5K HD released their very latest song “In, Out”, giving us a glimpse of what their next album may sound like. Magnificent structures are built up and then suddenly smashed and deconstructed – be it joyful or painful, 5K HD are always super precise. The release of “In, Out” led Radio FM4 to publish a review entitled “Why 5K HD is one of the best bands in the country.”
Flatstock 70 Exhibition
From May 28 to May 31, Primavera Pro presents Flatstock 70 – Blood, Sweat, Color, an exhibition at Parc Del Forum and the CCCB that will be showing the works of artists and designers who are members of the American Poster Institute that participate in Flatstock.
