With Sónar Week, a meeting of musicians, labels, and fans worldwide, Barcelona transforms every June into the pulse of worldwide electronic music culture. Among the notable events is OFFSonar, which evolved from a niche sister to the Sónar Festival into a heavyweight in its own right. OFFSonar will grow to six days in 2025, offering a mesmerizing week of world-class music, immersive events, and unparalleled energy at the venerable Poble Espanyol.

The four stages at OFFSónar 2025

Four stages throughout Poble Espanyol’s magnificent indoor and outdoor venues will comprise OFFSónar 2025:

  • Plaza Mayor: A majestic square framed by historic architecture.
  • Monasterio: A serene spot perfect for melodic and atmospheric beats.
  • Carpa & Picnic: A vibrant, sunlit space buzzing with energy.
  • Upload Room: An intimate indoor venue for those craving close-quarters club vibes.

8 years of improvement and leading festival culture

Originally a label-oriented satellite event for the esteemed Sónar Festival, what started in 2017 has evolved into an electronic music celebration of legends. OFFSonar marks a major turning point this year: it moves from its conventional four-day schedule to an unheard-of six-day celebration, therefore indicating its increasing cultural relevance.

OFFSonar is tucked away among the famous Poble Espanyol, an outdoor architectural museum, and provides an amazing setting for musical inventiveness. Imagine world-class electronic performances set against sunlight courtyards, cobblestone streets, and magnificent city views—a setting that transforms every musical moment into a multi-sensory experience.

Sónar Week Highlights: Beyond OFFSónar

Of course, OFFSonar is only one component of Sónar Week. Along with inventive bands like Arca, Overmono, and Sega Bodega, Sónar Festival’s headlining concerts this year feature giants such as Peggy Gou, Four Tet, Eric Prydz, and Plastikman. Another level of excitement comes from working with Printworks London and BOILER ROOM. The Sónar+D program explores the junction of music, technology, and invention in parallel.
