UNTOLD Dubai is back from November 6–9, transforming Dubai Parks & Resorts into a four-day mega festival featuring over 100 global artists.

The magic of UNTOLD Dubai’s Mega Festival returns this November, from 6-9, in the premiere location of the largest theme park in the Middle East. The organizers unveil a new spectacular wave of artists set to light up the desert sky at Dubai Parks & Resorts. Axwell, MEDUZA, Tchami, Salvatore Ganacci, Jaxomy, Tujamo, YUNGBLUD, Swae Lee, and Sugababes join the already announced global superstars, including Martin Garrix, Armin van Buuren, Eric Prydz, Hot Since 82, and Alan Walker, among others. Following its groundbreaking debut in 2024, the world’s fastest-growing mega-festival, UNTOLD Dubai, is ready to push boundaries once again with a lineup that bridges genres, cultures, and generations. Over 100 top global artists will perform on five stages for 4 days and 4 nights.

UNTOLD Dubai is transforming Dubai Parks & Resorts into a mesmerising playground of music and entertainment in less than a month, in a strategic partnership with Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism.

Headlining the newly announced acts are YUNGBLUD, the British alt-rock phenomenon known for his electrifying performances and fearless energy; SWAE LEE, the multi-platinum hitmaker behind global anthems like “Sunflower” and “Unforgettable”; and SUGABABES, the iconic British girl group whose timeless pop sound continues to captivate fans around the world.

This year, UNTOLD Dubai has the techno stage taken over by Zamna Music in a unique partnership.

Sónar Week 2026 is set to transform Barcelona into a global epicentre of electronic music and innovation from June 18–20, featuring a consolidated festival site and a massive constellation of events.

For one week every June, Barcelona becomes the global epicentre of electronic music, creativity and innovation. At the centre of this transformation stands Sónar – the original city-based electronic music festival – driving an ever-expanding constellation of events, collaborations and gatherings that together form Sónar Week.

In 2026, Sónar Week unfolds as a true citywide takeover, activating Barcelona from end to end and throughout the city limits. What began more than three decades ago as a pioneering electronic music festival is today a coordinated ecosystem that connects music, technology, art and club culture across multiple districts and iconic venues.

Sónar 2026- More Sónar than ever

At the heart of Sónar Week stands a newly consolidated Sónar at Fira Gran Via (L’Hospitalet). For the first time, the Day and Night programmes unite in a single venue, with uninterrupted music from 17:00 until late into the night – and into the morning on Friday and Saturday.

Across six stages – three outdoor and three indoor – Sónar 2026 presents more than 100 shows spanning genres, generations and geographies, reaffirming its position at the centre of global electronic culture. This year’s lineup brings together landmark live performances and DJ sets from The Prodigy, Kelis, Skepta, Charlotte de Witte, Amelie Lens, Dom Dolla, Chris Stussy, Modeselektor, Cabaret Voltaire, WhoMadeWho, SBTRKT, FJAAK & Kittin (Live) and Speedy J presents STOOR, alongside defining club figures such as Goldie b2b Doc Scott & Medic MC, Nia Archives, Joy Orbison, KETTAMA, Sammy Virji, Addison Groove, Two Shell, Wata Igarashi (Live), Boys Noize, ISA, DJ MARIA, Alba Franch, Clementaum b2b LAZA and many more, offering a panoramic snapshot of the contemporary electronic scene – from foundational pioneers to the most forward-facing sounds shaping dance floors today.

All ticket types for Sónar 2026 are available at sonar.es. Ticket options include SonarPass (access to all three days of Sónar at Fira Gran Via), Weekend Tickets (access to Friday and Saturday), and Single-Day Tickets for each of the three days, with prices starting from €39.

OFFSónar – Open Air at Poble Espanyol

OFFSónar at Poble Espanyol, brings together influential global labels, collectives and artists across multiple stages in one of Barcelona’s most emblematic open-air venues. The unique combination of the hottest brands in dance music and a charming, historic, hillside venue has made OFFSónar one of the most eagerly awaited moments of the year for fans of Electronic music, with tickets selling out in a question of weeks.

Across four days, OFFSónar will host events curated by some of the most relevant names in contemporary club culture, including Rampa & Adam Port (Keinemusik) – half of the Berlin-based collective that has redefined melodic house and Afro-inflected minimalism over the past decade, whose emotionally charged and globally resonant sound has made Keinemusik one of the most in-demand brands in world clubbing; Adriatique Present X , the Swiss duo’s meticulously crafted audiovisual concept known for immersive production and cinematic techno journeys balancing atmosphere and melodic precision; Baddest Behaviour by Mau P, the fast-rising Dutch DJ spearheading a new wave of punchy, high-impact tech-house with undeniable peak-time energy; Lone Romantic by Maceo Plex, the American producer’s long-running label showcase blending futuristic techno, electro and emotional house into expansive, narrative-driven sets; FUSELondon, one of the UK’s most respected underground brands, synonymous with extended sessions, deep minimal house and lineups rooted in London’s club heritage; Mochakk Calling, the Brazilian phenomenon whose groove-led, playful and technically sharp house sets have propelled him rapidly onto the global stage; and elrow (Sunday closing), the Barcelona-born party institution renowned worldwide for its theatrical environments, immersive production and high-energy house soundtrack.

The lineup for Lone Romantic by Maceo Plex has already been announced, featuring Maceo Plex, Âme Live Feat. J e a n n e l, Radio Slave, Anthony Rother (Hybrid Set) and Mack Loenz.

Full lineups for all parties are due to be announced in the coming weeks.

Sónar+D – Rebooted in the heart of the city

Sónar+D 2026 relocates to Llotja de Mar, in the centre of Barcelona, reinforcing its role as the cultural and conceptual axis of Sónar Week.

Taking place on Thursday 18 and Friday 19 June (10:00-20:00), the 14th International Congress of Innovation, Creativity and Technology maintains its four core pillars –  Talks, Exhibition, Community and Performance – while deepening its commitment to critical thinking, experimentation and cross-disciplinary exchange.

Sónar+D is an event like no other: a conference that thinks like a festival. Scientists meet musicians. Designers share space with researchers. Digital installations coexist with performances. It is where local creative communities connect with international innovators, and where ideas whose time has yet to come are explored collectively.

In 2026, Sónar+D will also expand its presence within Fira Gran Via through immersive digital art installations integrated into the festival site itself -— further dissolving the boundaries between discourse and celebration.

SonarPass+D tickets are still available at sonar.es. These passes grant access to all of Sónar (18, 19 and 20 June) at Fira Gran Via and to the full Sónar+D programme (18 and 19 June) at Llotja de Mar.

Very soon, the 2-Day Sónar+D Ticket and single-day Sónar+D Tickets will go on sale, providing access exclusively to Llotja de Mar at affordable prices.

Sónar District – 2 days of events at Parc del Fòrum

In 2026, Sónar extends its footprint to the Mediterranean coastline with the creation of Sónar District at Parc del Fòrum – a new open-air hub that broadens the musical programme during Sónar Week and contributes to the festival’s presence throughout the city.

Across two days, Sónar District will host three major events representing distinct currents in contemporary dance music. Kicking off their 2026 season, Solid Grooves,  the UK powerhouse label and event series founded by Michael Bibi and PAWSA, synonymous with cutting-edge house, stripped-back club energy and one of the defining brands of the modern Ibiza circuit, will take over 2 stages at Parc del Forum on Friday 19 June. Moving to Saturday 20th June, Metamorfosi by Joseph Capriati – the Italian titan’s visionary concept exploring the deeper, more emotive and transformative side of electronic music through curated lineups and immersive staging will take over the ‘Auditorio’ stage, while You&Me by Josh Baker– a fast-rising UK brand rooted in contemporary house and minimal sounds, reflecting a new generation of selectors reshaping underground club culture occupy the ‘Column’ stage.

The lineup for Metamorfosi has already been announced, featuring Joseph Capriati b2b Jamie Jones, Max Dean, Luke Dean & more. 

Lineups for Solid Grooves and You&Me by Josh Baker will be announced in the coming weeks 

Tickets for all parties are currently available at sonar.es/es/sonar-district.

The return of Sónar Kids

Sónar District will also host the return of Sónar Kids on Saturday 20 June (11:00-20:00), a family-focused programme inviting children and adults alike to experience music and creativity together in a safe, specially adapted environment.

Faithful to Sónar’s exploratory spirit, Sónar Kids encourages younger audiences to experiment with sound, discover artistic expression and participate in shared creative experiences.

Like Sónar+D, Sónar Kids is scheduled to allow parents to combine attendance with the main Sónar programme at Fira Gran Via – reinforcing Sónar Week as an inclusive, multi-generational celebration.

Affordably priced tickets for Sónar Kids on Saturday 20 June at Parc del Fòrum, as part of Sónar District, will go on sale soon. 

A city-wide takeover

From Poble Espanyol to Parc del Fòrum, from L’Hospitalet to the historic centre, Sónar Week 2026 unfolds as a citywide takeover, activating Barcelona from end to end and throughout the city limits. Across the week, more than 180 artists will perform over 18 stages, welcoming upwards of 172,000 attendees from around the world. In parallel, Sónar+D will present more than 30 conferences, workshops and performances, reinforcing the festival’s commitment to innovation, critical thinking and cross-disciplinary exchange.

Sónar Week is not simply a collection of events. It is a coordinated cultural moment that once again consolidates Barcelona as a global capital of electronic music and forward-thinking creativity.

Further announcements will follow soon.
