A few kilometers from the calm and tranquility of our villas in Sitges is Barcelona. And it is that the Catalan capital contrasts with the peace of Sitges, since Barcelona hosts the best music festivals in Spain.
Barcelona is the best option to enjoy the festivals and everything that surrounds them.
Primavera Sound
It’s a music festival that takes place between the end of May and the beginning of June in Barcelona (Spain). Its first edition took place in 2001 in the Spanish Village and since 2005 it has its headquarters in the Forum Park, a larger enclosure and next to the sea.
The physiognomy of the festival (urban and integrated in the city) and the wide range of groups represented has led Primavera Sound to be a meeting point for artists and spectators from different generations.
The festival gathers in its posters the latest musical proposals of the independent field together with artists of proven trajectory, covering any style or genre, looking for quality and essentially betting on pop, rock and the most underground trends of electronic and dance music.
Sónar
It is an international electronic and experimental music festival based in Barcelona. It was founded in the city of Barcelona in 1994 by Ricard Robles, Enric Palau and Sergi Caballero.
Throughout its more than 20 years of life (it was founded in 1994), Sónar has transformed the dynamics and atmosphere of the city every June, as well as placing Barcelona since its early years as the epicenter of electronic music of the continent and one of its main claims in the cultural tourism sector.
The festival is divided into two parts since its inception:
Sónar by Day has been celebrated from the first year until the 2012 edition at the facilities of the CCCB, the MACBA and its surroundings in the center of Barcelona. As of the 2013 edition, the Festival moved to the facilities of Fira Barcelona in Montju├»c, Plaza d’Espanya, maintaining its centrality and its status as an urban festival and expanding its capacity. On the other hand, Sónar de Noche has changed its location several times, being the Mar Bella pavilion (1997-2000) and the Fira Gran Via venue, in l’Hospitalet (from 2001 to today) its reference spaces.
