Sónar is an international festival of advanced music and digital art in Barcelona. Each June, the city becomes a space for sound and image, where concerts, installations and ideas reflect the present moment. It is not limited to the established names on the line-up: moving through its spaces means coming across emerging talent, unexpected encounters and technologies that point towards what is next. Here, innovation is not a slogan, but a mindset you live and share.
This is good to know
It has become a kind of radar for contemporary sound, picking up trends before they go mainstream and highlighting artists who go on to shape the international scene.
Sónar+D extends the festival into the space where art, technology and digital creativity meet, through talks, demonstrations and discussions.
The festival is split between Sónar by Day, focused on concerts and professional activity, and Sónar by Night, dedicated to headline shows.
There’s room for the little ones too: Sónar Kids brings electronic music closer to children and families with live shows, DJ sets, workshops and play areas.
