Barcelona Sonar Festival
With a history of distinction, Barcelona is home to many important cultural events. One of these is Sonar, the International Festival of Advanced Music and Multimedia Art. This is one of the most well supported events to come to the city, attracting thousands of people every year. If you are one of them and are looking for somewhere to stay, you’ll be glad to know that the city has it all when it comes to Barcelona holiday apartments.
Sonar takes place in June every year, when more than 75,000 people are expected to attend many performances. June 17-19 are the dates that have been set aside this year. During this weekend you’ll be able to witness acts from the best known electronic artists and some famous DJs. There will also be some up-and-coming talent on show. Together the assembled performers represent the most cutting-edge music in Europe today.
Since 2002, the festival has been journeying all over the globe, bringing new music to different countries. London, New York, Buenos Aires and Seoul are just some of the places it has stopped. In every one of these destinations the festival has been warmly welcomed. This is because it is truly cutting edge and brings to people music they might not have heard before.
Some of the biggest names to be lined up for this year are The Chemical Brothers, Roxy Music and LCD Soundsystem. If you aren’t aware, these are among the most popular headlining acts in electronica. With such a great billing, this could be the most popular year in the festival’s distinguished history.
There are several ways that you can pick up a ticket to Sonar. Popular ticket websites such as Ticketmaster, Eventim and Fnac can all supply you with access to the festival. Prices start from €165 for three days, €100 for two days and €39 for a single day. You can also pick up the various passes on offer from the Sonar ticket offices when you get there.
Now you know how to get your ticket, you may be wondering where the various shows and performances actually take place. This information will probably help you to decide where to stay in the city. The festival actually takes place at four sites. The main Sonar village is situated in the square just off Barcelona’s Centre of Contemporary Culture and the Museum of Contemporary Art. This can be found on Calle de Montalegre.
This is the region of the city where the morning and afternoon performances take place. If you are a big fan hardcore dance music, however, you’ll want to visit the Carrera de la Botanic at night. This is where the biggest DJs will be performing their sets before a hard partying crowd. This is also the place that you will be able to enjoy a few drinks in the pubs and bars. Other acts will play the L’Auditori de Barcelona, near the Parc de Ciutadella.
Because Sonar has more than one single setting, you can stay in lots of places across the city. Sant Antoni is among the most popular areas for festival-goers. As well as being one of the most modernistic areas of the city, it also has many cafes and bars. These are going to be very popular this June as places to spend a few hours enjoying Barcelona’s hospitality.
If you are, perhaps, with the family, then being at the centre of the action is not a viable option. If this is your situation, then Arc de Triomf could be a better place to stay. Here you can also spend some time in the city’s parks, such as Parc Ciutadella – home of Barcelona Zoo.
Having decided upon the area of the city that suits you, now you must decide what style of accommodation you want. While hotels are often an automatic choice, you shouldn’t discount a holiday apartment. In each of the aforementioned areas, there are apartments that can cater for every requirement.
Hotels can sometimes be a bit stricter than apartment buildings. Often you don’t get the choice of what to eat or drink in a hotel, and you may have to go without kitchen facilities of your own. An apartment gives you the option of cooking for yourself and your group. You don’t have to turn up at a set time for a set meal either. For groups of friends, apartments could be the key to a memorable festival experience.
For those that love electronica, there is only one festival to go to this summer. Sonar will provide the stage for some of the biggest names in modern music. Because it takes place in Barcelona, not only will you be able to enjoy great acts, but you can also discover a fantastic city. When you are booking your stay, you should consider a holiday apartment. In doing so, you will be able to live at close quarters with your closest friends and gain more control over your holiday.
