PJ Harvey Soundcheck for The Community of Hope at Poble Espanyol, Barcelona

Venue: Poble Espanyol Location: Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain Date: August 23, 2017

In August 2017, PJ Harvey was deep into her whirlwind journey with the album "The Hope Six Demolition Project," which had been released just a year earlier. This album was a daring exploration of themes relating to war, migration, and societal issues, showcasing her evolution as both a songwriter and commentary artist. During the soundcheck at Poble Espanyol in Barcelona, audiences got a sneak peek of her intense, raw energy that characterized live performances. It’s fascinating to note that "The Hope Six Demolition Project" was inspired by Harvey’s visits to places like Kosovo and Washington D.C., making it a poignant reflection of her unique perspective on global issues. This concert highlighted her remarkable ability to engage with topical themes in a highly personal way – always leaving audiences yearning for more, wouldn't you agree?
