The line-up for this Sónar Barcelona (13.14 & 15 June) 20th anniversary takes the form of a celebration, in a combination of a selection of great classics, new ideas for dance music and the festival’s usual experimental spirit. Around 130 artists will be included in a line-up for which will be finalized in the coming weeks.

Sónar reinvents the uses of an emblematic space, shortens the distance between Sónar by Day and Sónar by Night and maintains its centrality and its status as an urban festival with its new location for Sónar by Day in Fira Montjuïc.
