Sonar Barcelona’s activities are divided into two main locations: Sónar by Day, in Fira Montjuïc, with concerts, showcases and an area for professionals, the essence of which is discovering and tracking new talent; and the larger shows at Sónar by Night, in Fira Gran Via de L’Hospitalet, which stage the leading names in the current international music scene.
Each year Sonar is host to more than 80,000 people from more than 90 countries around the world as well as bringing together 3.500 professionals and 1.000 accredited journalists.
