Barcelona is renowned the world over for the pedigree of its summer music festivals, but there is one which consistently stands above the rest for the absolute quality of its lineup and the eclectic range of creative styles it covers: Sónar.

If dance music is your jam, then this event is for you, as once again Sónar has curated a veritable selection of styles for your listening pleasure. Whether it's thumping bass, club bangers, gritty garage or niche tunes from the farthest flung corners of the globe, Sónar caters for everyone. It's an inclusive romp that will have you craving next year's party the minute it is over.

Now in its 30th year, this festival of music, creativity & technology is set to be as exciting as ever with electronic artists flying in from across the planet to delight its equally international audience. This year Sónar by Day includes over 70 activities—including live shows, DJ sets, talks, installations and more—spread over five stages and a variety of spaces. Throughout the day, punters can head to Fira Montjuïc to hear the vibrant tunes of people like Black Coffee, Eliza Rose, Albany and Bored Lord.

Sónar by Night is a Barcelona's celebration of global electronic music. Across from stages, from sundown to sunrise, experience jaw-dropping live shows, forward-thinking sounds from around the world, and the biggest and best DJs around. Sónar 2023 features a lineup fit for a 30th Anniversary party.

As ever, Sónar will be joining forces with some of the biggest organizations in dance music to curate their stages. Mainstays at all the world's greatest festivals, these colabs will make sure all the artists you hear of the highest caliber, keeping you dancing until you drop.

But Sónar is not just about the music; it's also a celebration of the cutting edge technologies that are transforming sound technology, showcased through its sister festival Sonár+D, held in the same venue over the same period.
