This weekend, music fans have been soaking up the sun and the beats at Primavera Sound in Barcelona, one of Europe's biggest festivals.

Headlining the festival were three mega stars: Chappell Roan, Charli XCX and Sabrina Carpenter, also known as the "Powerpuff Girls" of pop.

The stellar line-up also included Haim, Wolf Alice, Jamie xx and CMAT.
