SHINE Ibiza returns to the White Isle on Thursday, September 24, 2026, for a monumental one-day boutique festival at 528 Ibiza, headlined by electronic music pioneer Paul van Dyk.

SHINE Ibiza is back on the island for a one-day boutique festival takeover at the award-winning 528 Ibiza on Thursday, September 24, 2026. The event will include legendary electronic music pioneer Paul van Dyk alongside a host of international artists and emerging talent across three stages, promising to be one of the summer’s most memorable dance music experiences to date.

The festival delivers a transformational open-air to club journey, following the rhythm of the island from golden sunlight to late-night transcendence. The event begins on the Garden Stage, where sun-soaked melodies and Balearic skies set the tone for connection and freedom. As the night draws in, the focus moves into the club and expands into the venue’s iconic teatro arena, offering a heightened and immersive experience following last year’s standout celebration.

This year’s SHINE Ibiza event will be a single-day feature, incorporating three stages and over 10 top DJs and special guests, navigating across Trance, Techno, and Progressive soundtracks, with performances from Paul van Dyk, Aly & Fila, Alex M.O.R.P.H., Bryan Kearney, Ciaran McAuley, David Forbes, FUENKA, Anunnakis, Seb Fontaine, Edele Andaya, Stephen Kirkwood, and ITE DJs. Each artist will bring a unique dimension to the festival, shaping an emotional journey from euphoric daytime highs to late-night intensity.

Paul van Dyk comments:

“Bringing SHINE to 528 Ibiza for the first time last summer was truly special. The location, the vibe, the people… there was so much happiness and openness in the air. It reminded me of the true core of Ibiza: connection, freedom, and pure love for the music.”

As a long-term island fixture, both SHINE Ibiza and its enduring community are central to the experience. Renowned for attracting one of the friendliest and most open-hearted crowds in Ibiza annually, this is where the dancefloor becomes an unadulterated celebration of positivity and connection, creating an atmosphere that extends beyond a typical party, embodying the spirit of Ibiza. 

Thursday, September 24th, 528 Ibiza will come alive as the ultimate destination with a world-class lineup, three pivotal stages, and a community that is united in rhythm.

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.
