Sónar is a three-day electronic and advanced music festival. It was founded in Barcelona in 1994 by Ricard Robles, Enric Palau, and Sergi Caballero. The festival has been divided into two parts since its inception: Sónar by Day and Sónar by Night. The 2016 Barcelona edition attracted 115,000 attendees from 101 countries.
During its 20-year history, Sónar has transformed the dynamics and atmosphere of the city every June, as well as making Barcelona into the continent’s epicentre of electronic music and one of its main attractions in the cultural tourism sector from its very earliest years.
