Sónar is a pioneering festival that’s been championing electronic music and digital culture since its first edition in 1994. Each year in June, audiences from around the world come to Barcelona for Sónar, drawn to the festival’s forward-thinking programming, innovative format, and unique atmosphere. Year upon year, it brings together emerging artists and showcases new trends from music and beyond.
As well as hosting the most influential artists from across the globe, the festival also acts as a proving ground for new projects, collaborations and creations that build bridges between music, performance, and technology. Since 2013, much of this content falls under the umbrella of Sónar+D; an ‘anti-disciplinary’ programme of performances, installations, and conferences taking place within Sónar by Day that explores how emerging technologies and digital creativity are shaping the world.
After three decades and over 100 editions worldwide, Sónar continues to re-define what a festival can be, removing barriers and forging connections between audiences, genres and creative disciplines.
