Sónar unveiled the first 30 acts for its 17–19 June 2027 edition on 3 November. The list includes Bonobo, Jessie Ware, Tokischa, Yung Lean, Cornelius, Carl Cox, Peggy Gou, KI/KI, Romy, Honey Dijon and Goldie.

The announcement is more than a line-up update. Sónar by Day will return to central Barcelona and the seafront, reconnecting with the urban scale from which the festival emerged in 1994. Its music programme will again share space with the Sónar+D technology and creativity conference.

Sónar by Night remains at Fira Gran Via on Friday and Saturday, returning to a two-night, four-stage format. Organisers say the final programme will contain more than 80 performances and activities, so the current list is only the opening wave.

The official ticket page lists the SonarPass at €160 and the SonarPass+D at €175. Flex options promise a full refund until 28 February 2027, while prices may rise as the festival approaches.

Commercially, the city-centre daytime format and the renewed Sónar+D integration create closer contact between music audiences, technology exhibitors and creative-industry partners. The next key checks are the exact daytime venue, daily schedule and the remaining programme.

Summary

Sónar 2027 runs 17–19 June in Barcelona. Sónar by Day returns to the city centre, while Sónar by Night remains at Fira Gran Via.
