Sónar unveils its first 30 artists as Sónar by Day returns to central Barcelona and Sónar by Night brings back its two-night format
More than three decades after Sónar first began in Barcelona, the festival is changing its format for 2027. Taking place from June 17–19, its 34th edition will bring Sónar by Day back into central Barcelona at a new waterfront location. Sónar by Night will also return to two nights at Fira Gran Via. The first announcement brings together 30 artists across live performances and DJ sets, including Bonobo, Tokischa, Yung Lean, Jessie Ware, Carl Cox, Peggy Gou, KI/KI, Romy and Honey Dijon. More artists will join the lineup ahead of next June.
Sónar by Day Returns to Central Barcelona
Bringing Sónar by Day back to central Barcelona reconnects the daytime festival with the city where Sónar began in 1994. Across all three days, the new waterfront location will host music alongside Sónar+D, which will bring artists, researchers, innovators and institutions together around technology, creativity and research.
The nighttime side of the festival will remain at Fira Gran Via on Friday, June 18 and Saturday, June 19. Following audience demand, Sónar by Night is restoring its two-night format.
