Update, 28 October 2026: on 27 October Sónar replaced its website with a “Sónar is dead, 1994-2026” book of condolences and posted a funeral video on Instagram. The festival has not cancelled the 2027 edition and has not explained the campaign, so the dates below still stand and existing passes remain valid. We cover what is known in Sónar is dead: what it means for Sónar 2027 and Istanbul.
Sonar is Barcelona’s festival of music, innovation and creativity, organised by Advanced Music. Alongside the concerts and DJ sets, Sonar+D brings together talks, exhibitions and performances on the shared ground between art, technology and electronic music. It is one of the best known music festival brands in Europe and also stages editions in other cities under the Sonar around the world banner.
Sonar 2027 is confirmed for 17, 18 and 19 June 2027 in Barcelona. An exclusive presale opened on 22 June 2026 with SonarPass tickets at 155 euros and SonarPass+D at 170 euros, plus VIP versions at 270 and 295 euros. That presale has now closed. General sale had been promised for after the summer of 2026, but since 27 October the official ticket page is offline while the “Sónar is dead” campaign runs. A flex option lets buyers cancel for a full refund until 1 March 2027.
The 2027 line-up and venue details have not been published. The 2026 edition used Fira Gran Via, but the official site does not yet state where 2027 will be held. Expect the usual split between daytime programming with Sonar+D content and the large night-time halls where techno, house and live electronic acts play until the early hours. Barcelona also fills with Sonar Week events around the festival dates, and the SonarApp carries the schedule.
