Summary

  • Primavera Sound got a surprise Rodrigo popup set on Saturday, where she unveiled “what’s wrong with me” live with Robert Smith — her first collaboration.
  • June 12 is the release date for Rodrigo’s third album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, and the duet is the third song previewed after “drop dead” and “the cure.”
  • Smith and Rodrigo built the partnership after he joined her onstage at Glastonbury in 2025, then stayed in touch while she worked on the new record.
  • Barcelona also saw The Cure play a 29-song festival set on Friday, while Rodrigo used her appearance to mix the new material with hits ahead of The Unraveled Tour in September.
