Watch Sónar Barcelona
Sónar does not run a single festival-wide live feed. What you get is ARTE Concert, which has filmed sets at the festival three years running, plus Rinse broadcasting live from its own stage in 2026. Full performances from the festival went up on YouTube in the weeks after. Expect the same mix of ARTE sets and Rinse radio coverage next June.
