Sónar returns as the summer flagship festival of electronic music, digital culture and future-facing creativity, bringing together live shows, experimental performance and the Sónar+D programme of talks, tech and ideas. For 2026, the festival enters a new chapter, unifying its day and night music programme at Fira Gran Via for three days of continuous sound.

This year’s lineup includes The Prodigy, Kelis, Skepta, Nia Archives, Charlotte de Witte, Amelie Lens, Boys Noize, Cabaret Voltaire, Joy Orbison, Sammy Virji, Modeselektor, Sara Landry, Chris Stussy, WhoMadeWho, KETTAMA, Daniel Avery, SBTRKT, The Hacker, Addison Groove, AKUA and YHWH Nailgun.

As ever, Sónar is less a straightforward music festival than a snapshot of where electronic culture is heading: rave energy, audiovisual space, heavy-hitting DJs and ideas about technology all colliding for one week of fun and frivolity. Tickets are still on sale, so make sure to get yours fast before they sell out.
