The Sónar festival returns to Barcelona to celebrate its 33rd edition on June 18, 19, and 20, with a diverse program at the Gran Via exhibition center.

The musical event, established as a benchmark for electronic music and experimentation, will feature prominent figures such as the British duo Prodigy and the artist Skepta, who will present his latest record. The Sónar Club stage will also host performances by techno icons like Charlotte de Witte and Amelie Lens.
This year's lineup includes avant-garde proposals such as Cabaret Voltaire, commemorating five decades since their first live show, and artist Nia Archives, who will offer a visual show focused on reinventing the jungle genre. Meanwhile, Kelis will bring her R&B style to the Sónar Village stage.
The Catalan music scene will be represented by the duo Ani in the Hall, who will present their recently released album. Additionally, the STOOR project, led by Speedy J, will offer continuous techno sessions throughout the three days of the festival at the Sónar Car space.
