Electronic labels take over Poble Espanyol

OFFSónar is built around event identities rather than one undifferentiated bill. Leading labels and artists shape individual programmes inside Poble Espanyol, giving each part of the festival a clearer musical point of view.

The historic open-air site adds plazas and architectural spaces to the experience. That setting lets house and techno events feel connected while still retaining the character of the hosts behind them.

Part of Barcelona's busiest music week

OFFSónar lands during the wider Sónar week, when electronic audiences already fill Barcelona. Its role is complementary: a focused run of outdoor label showcases rather than an imitation of the main festival.

A 2027 return has been announced, but exact dates are still to come. The venue and label-led format remain the useful constants while the next edition develops.
