Sónar is far more than a festival of advanced music and multimedia art: since 1994, it has positioned Barcelona as a capital of sonic creativity and digital culture. The festival brings together electronic music, visual arts, technology and critical thinking in a distinctive programme that attracts audiences, artists and professionals from around the world.
The next edition, on 18, 19 and 20 June 2026, will take place entirely at Fira Gran Via, bringing together the full daytime and night-time programme in a single venue under one continuous format. Non-stop music, over one hundred performances and an immersive experience featuring one of the most anticipated highlights: a live show by The Prodigy, an undisputed icon of global electronic music.
The festival maintains its innovation hub, Sónar+D, which this year moves to a new venue in central Barcelona, the Llotja de Mar, further strengthening the link between creativity, technology and industry. In addition, Sónar Kids will present its family-oriented programme at Parc del Fòrum, expanding the experience to new audiences. For three days, Barcelona becomes the epicentre of cutting-edge sound and contemporary digital culture.
