Sónar Festival 2017

Sónar Festival is an electronic and alternative music festival in Barcelona, Spain.

With appearances from cutting-edges acts from an expansive range of styles, Sónar takes over Spain's second city for a weekend – as industry professionals and music fans alike go to witness the most exciting new trends alongside some of the most respected names in electronic, experimental and alternative music.

The festival is split into 'By Day' and 'By Night' programmes, whereby major headliners take to the city's Plaza d'Espanya for spectacular open air shows in the day, before the nearby exhibition centre and a series of local clubs and venues play host to respected names and rising stars of the DJ world spinning to smaller crowds after the sun goes down.

In addition to the music on show, the festival also plays host to a series of conferences, seminars, workshops, trade shows and the like, as all aspects of the music industry are open to exploration, making this festival one the most unique in Europe, and indeed the world.
