Where is Sónar held in Barcelona?
Sónar is split across two venues. Sónar by Day takes place at the Fira Montjuïc exhibition center, close to Plaça d'Espanya and the Magic Fountain. In the evening, the festival moves to Sónar by Night at Fira Gran Via in the neighboring town of L'Hospitalet de Llobregat; both venues are reachable by metro, but they sit on opposite sides of the city, so allow extra time to get to the night sessions.
Who performs at Sónar 2027?
The official lineup for 2027 will be announced in the coming months. Past editions have featured names such as Richie Hawtin, Eric Prydz, Honey Dijon, Peggy Gou and Amelie Lens; Sónar has long served as a stage for both established electronic music acts and emerging talent.
How much do Sónar 2027 tickets cost?
The exclusive presale for 2027 has already begun. A SonarPass (covering Day and Night access) costs 155 euros during presale, with a VIP version at 270 euros; a SonarPass+D, which also includes the Sónar+D conference, costs 170 euros (VIP 295 euros). A new flex option lets buyers cancel their ticket free of charge until 1 March 2027 in case plans change. Prices typically rise as the festival date approaches.
Practical Tips for Visiting
- Book early, since presale prices are the lowest available.
- Choose accommodation in the city center or El Raval for easy access to both venues.
- Plan transport home from Sónar by Night in advance, as Fira Gran Via sits outside the city center.
- The festival is 18 plus; bring valid identification.
- Beyond the music, the digital art installations and workshops are worth exploring.
