Barcelona sure knows how to throw a party, as Sónar's formidable track record proves. It's still one of the finest dance music-focused festivals on the planet, with a glistening line-up of producers, DJs and a few leftfield bands for good measure. The Chemical Brothers and Hot Chip provide easily digestible beats, Autechre and Modeselektor throw some heavier flavours, and funky fellow Kindness and rapper Kate Tempest mix things up a little. Sunshine, cheap cervezas and hotel rooftop parties across the city help sweeten an already very sweet deal.
