Schön! 48 | jameela jamil in feben + christian louboutin

Primavera Sound 2025 brought its usual mix of chaos and catharsis to the Parc del Fòrum, in Barcelona, with a lineup spanning the extremes of experimental electronics, millennial pop melodrama, and gritty live performance. With the Mediterranean sun as a backdrop and a crowd ready to sweat, scream, and self-reflect, Schön! was there to witness it all — and capture all the standout moments.

At the opening night, FKA twigs needed little more than minimal scenography to conjure an entire cosmos. Her Thursday night set on the Estrella Damm stage bent pop performance into something sinewy and spellbinding — and she only needed a pole, a sword, and some scaffolding. Across contortions (yes, including pole dance) and sparse-but-precise costume changes, FKA twigs danced her way through EUSEXUA, then dialled the energy down to deliver liquid intimacy with Home With You, Two Weeks, and a devastating Cellophane rendition.

On Friday, queer icons Charli XCX and Troye Sivan brought the heat with SWEAT, their only European joint show. A relentless club sprint through their respective eras, BRAT and Something to Give Each Other, with Sivan leaning into twink villainy as he marked his 30th birthday, and Charli XCX tearing through the brat club canon like a woman possessed. The set, however, hit its peak fan-fuelled delirium when Chappell Roan appeared on screen mid-routine, delivering her “Apple Girl choreo” in full drag-pageant mode. Camp? Of course.

Sabrina Carpenter followed, bringing her new-age Barbie energy and extra heat to the festival. On a stage somewhere between a TV studio and an oversized dollhouse, she leaned into ’80s tropes and bubblegum bravado, teasing the audience with one-liners and hits, from Espresso to the just-dropped Manchild.

But if anyone came to claim the crown, it was Chappell Roan. Dressed like a prom queen from a gothic fever dream, she turned the Estrella Damm stage into her own neon-lit fortress. She opened with Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl, read out text messages from exes (for public shaming, naturally), paid tribute to the trailblazing women before her with a belting cover of Barracuda, and closed with the queer anthem Pink Pony Club. 

And through all of this pop chaos and sonic euphoria, CUPRA returned as festival partner for the fourth year, bringing with it a new highlight: CUPRA Pulse. The mirrored installation became a hub for rave realness and sonic experimentation, with sets from Crystallmess, Lolahol, and LSDXOXO transforming the space into a chrome-lit playground. The CUPRA Stage hosted influential artists like Amelie Lens, TV On The Radio, and Amaia, while the brand’s digital platform, CUPRA Music Hub, streamed the action globally.

“Music has been a part of CUPRA since our foundation. It inspires us and enables us to convey the values we stand for: boldness, creativity, and celebrating the talent of the future,” said Patrick Sievers, CUPRA’s Global Head of Marketing. “We have designed the space to amplify the connection with the audience and turn each performance into something more immersive.”

From scaffold to strobe light, from mascara tears to euphoric drops, Primavera Sound 2025 was a fantasy you could dance inside. And this year, it had a heartbeat of chrome.

Booboo Stewart is an artist in motion. “Art is freedom. It allows me to not overthink, but let my emotions flow,” Stewart says to us, wearing LOEWE and Cartier for his Schön! 48 digital cover story. Stewart’s rise to fame began with his portrayal of Seth Clearwater in the Twilight saga, followed by a range of roles including Disney’s ‘Descendants,’ ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past,’ and ‘White Frog,’ the latter earning him a Best Actor award at San Diego’s FilmOut festival. “Acting has been my escape since I was a kid,” he shares. “It’s the first art form I fell in love with and opened my eyes to a world of creativity.”

But Stewart’s artistic expression extends far beyond acting. His creative pursuits span from gallery installations and canvas work to music production and live performances. “My parents were both so creative,” he recalls. “It felt like there was no other option but to embrace the arts in some way.” With a stunt coordinator and actor as a father and a mother who was a committed artist, creativity was deeply embedded in Stewart’s upbringing. Early memories of sketching on set with his dad and helping his mom sell artwork at local fairs shaped a lifelong relationship with art. “My drawings are a way for me to express emotions that I can’t always get out in words,” he admits.

This emotional depth formed the backbone of his debut solo exhibition, ‘Things I Don’t Know How to Talk About’, held at Park West Gallery in New York in 2023. Featuring evocative ballpoint pen sketches, the show was paired with a DJ set composed by Stewart himself, who also created art live during the event. The raw, automatic lines of his figures explored themes of vulnerability, grief, generational trauma, and love. Since then, his work has been shown in both Las Vegas and New York.

Currently, Stewart is exhibiting at Defy Gallery in Texas, where he introduced a striking plaster sculpture of a figure resting its chin on its hand, stretched across a doorway. “It’s a piece that people can walk through,” he explains. “I didn’t use any 3D modelling or measurements. It was all instinctive and I just went for it.” Like much of his work, the sculpture emerged through intuition, driven by emotional instinct rather than planning. “I sit on these tatami mats in my studio, and whatever feels right in the moment is what I go with,” he says.

His artistic style has gradually shifted — from bold, colourful pieces influenced by artists like Basquiat to intricate, spectral line drawings. His recent show, ‘Fractures: Doubt and Desire’, delved into internal struggles and the yearning for self-understanding. “Desire for me is about wanting to understand my mind [and] why I think the way I do,” he reflects. “It’s about being more aware of my feelings and learning to cope with them in a healthier way…Art gives me the greatest sense of self. There’s no external influence, it’s just me. Music, on the other hand, is this beautiful collaboration with the people that I care about.”
