Sónar: electronic music by day and night
Sónar is the festival that put Barcelona on the international electronic map, and its split structure is still the defining idea almost thirty years on.
Sónar by Day
Held at the Montjuïc exhibition halls, mixing performances with talks, installations and the creative technology congress. A calmer pace and a genuinely interesting daytime programme.
Sónar by Night
The main event at the Fòrum: hangar-scale stages running from eight in the evening until well past dawn, across two nights.
Tickets
Day and night passes are sold separately, and plenty of residents buy day tickets only. Night passes sell first, so decide which version of the festival you want before release.
