What is Sónar? Electronic music, dance sounds, conferences, exhibitions, museum format, discussion panel, record market, meeting point for professionals...Sónar is all this and more.
Every June, for three nights and three days, the bars, clubs, pubs and streets of Barcelona become even more busy than normal, as people from all over Spain, Europe, and the rest of the world descend upon the city to experience Sónar, an Advanced Music and Multimedia Art festival. The official website describes the festival as "the essential meeting point for an alert public, cutting-edge artists and the most influential professionals from the sectors of music and modern arts."
Sónar has been running for the last 15 years, and now attracts 80,000 people to the city annually. Unlike many other music festivals that have popped up over the last decade, Sónar is completely city based, meaning no mud, no portaloos and no camping. For those that prefer their festivals to be situated in a civilized, urban environment, rather than out in the not-so-great outdoors, Sónar is the festival for you.
Though Sónar embraces many forms of music, the emphasis is definitely on electronic styles; artists that have appeared in the last few years include: The Chemical Brothers, Richie Hawtin, Timo Maas, Miss Kittin...
