, an annual event held in Barcelona, is a globally renowned festival that celebrates advanced music and new media art. Founded in 1994 by Ricard Robles, Enric Palau, and Sergi Caballero, Sónar has grown into a cultural phenomenon, attracting thousands of attendees from around the world.

The festival is divided into two distinct parts: Sónar by Day and Sónar by Night. Sónar by Day focuses on showcasing emerging talent, hosting professional networking activities, and featuring exhibitions and conferences that delve into the intersection of technology, creativity, and music. This segment is known for its relaxed atmosphere, set in various urban locations around the city, providing a platform for artistic exploration and innovation.

Sónar by Night, on the other hand, transforms into a high-energy extravaganza featuring some of the most acclaimed names in electronic music. The night-time events are held in expansive venues, where cutting-edge audiovisual performances and immersive experiences create a unique ambiance.

One of the festival’s key highlights is its dedication to fostering dialogue between the creative and technology sectors. The Sónar+D conference runs concurrently with the festival, offering workshops, panel discussions, and presentations by industry leaders and innovators. This convergence of music, art, and technology positions Sónar as a forward-thinking event that continuously pushes the boundaries of creativity.

Over the years, Sónar has expanded its reach with international editions in cities like Reykjavik, Hong Kong, and Buenos Aires, further solidifying its reputation as a global hub for contemporary culture. With its unique blend of music, art, and technology, Sónar Festival continues to inspire and influence the global creative community.
