Sonar Festival

Sónar returns to Barcelona on the 18th, 19th and 20th June.

Sonar Festival takes place in the Fira Montjuïc area in Plaça España. 

Yes, generally the event is 18+ although those aged 16 or 17 may attend Sonar by Day and Sonar by Night but may not consume alcohol or tobacco products.  Festival organisers reserve the right to request production of ID at the entrance to and inside the venue.

Minors of 15 or under may attend Sonar by Day if accompanied by an adult at all times.  The adult must be a legal guardian or an approved other adult - you’ll need to fill out two copies of an authorisation letter, one to be handed in at check-in and the other kept throughout the festival. 

Sónar is a pioneering festival that’s reflected the evolution and expansion of electronic music and digital culture since its first edition in 1994. Each year, Sónar converts Barcelona into a focal point for music lovers, artists and professionals from across the world, drawn to the multiple stages and venues of the Fira Barcelona by the festival’s innovative content, format, and celebratory atmosphere. True to its name, Sónar tracks and amplifies the present and future musical landscape, hosting the most influential artistic creations of the current moment and providing a platform for artists from around the world. In doing so, it serves as a proving ground for new and emerging trends at the intersection of performance, music, science, information technology and beyond. After three decades and over 100 editions worldwide, Sónar continues to redefine what a festival can be, removing barriers and forging connections between audiences, genres and creative disciplines.
