Sonar 2012

If you are a music buff you will have heard of Sónar. If you aren’t a music buff, it’s about time you did hear about the huge annual tribute to music held in Barcelona. Last year 80,000 people attended the 3 day event which runs day and night.

How about adding some variety to your holiday? You can only drink so many coffees and sunbathe so many hours. This year’s event runs from 14th-16th June and can add something really memorable to your summer break.

Rather than bore you with the history of the thing, we’ve just posted a few videos from the bands playing this year for you to enjoy. Once you are ready book your accommodation and tickets right here.
