Sónar and Primavera Sound: The Complete VIP Experience at Barcelona's Best Festivals

Barcelona, world capital of music festivals

Two festivals in the same June month make Barcelona the world's music capital: Sónar and Primavera Sound, both consistently ranked among the world's best, both with a VIP version most attendees don't know about.

Sónar: Electronic Music in Pure State

Sónar (typically second or third week of June) combines Sónar by Day at Fira de Montjuïc with Sónar by Night in L'Hospitalet. World-class electronic programming — Richie Hawtin, Nina Kraviz, Carl Cox, Four Tet are regulars. VIP includes Sónar PRO zone access, privileged sound positions, exclusive areas and hospitality. VIP tickets sell out 3-6 months ahead.

Primavera Sound: The World's Most Ambitious Lineup

Primavera Sound at Parc del Fòrum, with the Mediterranean as backdrop, has hosted Radiohead, The Strokes, Björk, Arcade Fire, LCD Soundsystem, Beck — a lineup no festival matches in diversity. VIP zones offer improved access to main stages, rest areas with hospitality and networking spaces.

The complete experience

The difference between a good festival and an extraordinary one is everything that happens before and after. We organize the four or five festival days with accommodation, transfers, managed VIP access, dinners between concerts, and entry to the official and private after parties. Gerard Riera manages access to the satellite events where the atmosphere is often as good as the festival itself.
