On Thursday, June 18, 2026, Fira Gran Via in Barcelona will host Sónar 2026 - Thursday. This event is part of the renowned Sónar festival series, which continues to showcase cutting-edge electronic music. The lineup features a total of 25 artists from various locations and genres, including Techno and Post-Punk, promising a broad array of performances.
The lineup includes a mix of established and emerging artists. Boys Noize, originating from New York, brings his house music roots, while Berlin's Nadia Struiwigh explores electronic and ambient soundscapes. Barcelona's own .VRIL adds a local touch with his techno-infused sets. Other artists such as KETTAMA from Paris and MALUGI from Amsterdam will represent house and UK garage influences. Cabaret Voltaire, also from Barcelona, contributes their electronic sound, alongside fellow local artists Bryte and Loli Zazou. The breadth of styles represented—ranging from the hard-hitting techno of Speedy J from Amsterdam to the ambient tones of Oriana from Nantes—ensures a diverse musical experience throughout the night.
Barcelona’s electronic music scene is vibrant and active, with multiple events occurring throughout the year. Following Sónar, the Brunch Electronik Festival is scheduled for August 7-9, 2026, featuring a lineup of 52 artists. Additionally, the SOUNDIT Festival will take place shortly before on July 17-18, 2026, presenting 47 artists. This rich calendar of events solidifies Barcelona's status as a significant hub for electronic music in Europe.
