Don’t miss it! SONAR 2019 Festival in BCN
Summer is the season of parties and festivals in Barcelona, this city does not sleep and we enjoy music! This blog post is about this year’s Sónar festival which will happen from June 18th till 20th. It is an international electronic and experimental music festival based in Barcelona. It was founded in the city of Barcelona in 1994 by Ricard Robles, Enric Palau and Sergi Caballero.
Sónar Music Festival in
Barcelona has grown showing strength and has established itself as one of the
best-known music festivals in Europe. Every year, during a weekend in June,
Barcelona is flooded by thousands of music fans from all over Europe and the
world. In general, you can tell them by their oversized sunglasses, fashionable
flip-flops and their urgent march to the festival site.
The festival is divided into two
parts from its inception. Sónar by Day has been held from the first year until
the 2012 edition at the CCCB, MACBA and its surroundings (Plaça dels Àngels, Capella
dels Àngels …), right in the center of Barcelona. As of the 2013 edition, the
Festival moved to the facilities of Fira Barcelona in Montjuïc, Plaza
d’Espanya, maintaining its centrality and its status as an urban festival and
expanding its capacity. On the other hand, Sónar by Night has changed several
times of location, being the pavilion of the Beautiful Sea (1997-2000) and the
Fira Gran Via enclosure, in l’Hospitalet (from 2001 until today) its spaces of
reference.
In contrast to many summer festivals,
Sónar has no place in a field, with camping people. It is a city festival, so
the accommodation must be in and around Barcelona. There are two different
sites for the Barcelona festival – one during the day (Sónar by Day) in the
center of the city and one at night (Sónar by Night) that is further away from
the city. These are the first 30 artists who will perform in their next
edition: A $ AP Rocky, Actress + Young Paint Live AI / AV, Amelie Lens, Andy C,
Artwork, Bad Gyal, Blawan & Dax J, Brat Star, Bruce Brubaker & Max
Cooper: Glassforms, Catnapp, Cecilio G, Deena Abdelwahed – Khonnar Live,
