History of Sónar Festival
Sónar Festival is much more than just a music event: it is a world reference in the electronic music and digital culture scene. Born in Barcelona in 1994, it has since grown to become one of the most influential and respected festivals on the planet. Can you imagine an event that brings together more than 100,000 people from all over the world every year? That’s Sónar.
Its aim has always been clear: to explore the latest trends in music, art and technology. The festival has been a pioneer in fusing musical genres, from techno and house to experimental pop and hip-hop, and has hosted legendary artists such as Kraftwerk, Björk, Daft Punk and many more. Sónar is also renowned for its commitment to innovation, with audiovisual installations, workshops and conferences exploring the future of digital creativity.
At the Beatheim DJ Academy in Berlin, we follow the evolution of Sónar closely because it inspires us to create unique musical experiences and to train future DJs and producers who dream of taking the stage.
