Sónar Barcelona celebrates its 20th anniversary with a line-up that reaffirms and celebrates its personality, and with a change of venue for Sónar by Day, which moves to Fira Montjuïc, in Plaça d’Espanya.

The new venue for Sónar by Day: 
a commitment to the future
The new location will enable to rejuvenate the presentation of its daytime venue, with very large spaces that facilitate optimal circulation both of the attendees and the professionals.

Sónar by Day keeps its 4 stages (SonarVillage by Estrella Damm, SonarHall, SonarDôme and SonarComplex), all of which have increased capacities in their new locations. 

The new Sónar by Day is significantly nearer Sónar by Night, which is still at its usual venue in the Fira Gran Via area in L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, and consolidates its four-stage format, (SonarClub, SonarLab, SonarPub and SonarCar, located next to the bumper cars). The distance between both venues with the Sonar buses is only 10 minutes.

A celebratory line-up

Sónar is celebrating its 20th anniversary with a big birthday party.

On one side, the essential benchmarks like Kraftwerk (with their 3D show), Pet Shop Boys, Derrick May, Matthew Herbert dj, orLaurent Garnier.

Artists who are the perfect guests at a party featuring dance at centre stage: Lindstrom & Terje, Skrillex, Diplo, Paul Kalkbrenner, Justice djs, Modeselektor djs, Major Lazer, Soulwax, TNGHT or Seth Troxler among many others.

And finally artists with their own approach and modernizers of established approaches: AlunaGeorge, Karenn, Jamie Lidell, Liars, Francesco Tristano, Fatima Al Qadiri, Delorean or Mykki Blanco.
