So it is not surprising that Barcelona is home to some of the best music festivals in Spain.<\/p>\n
Every year, especially in summer, the city hosts a wide variety of music festivals that attract numerous fans from all over the world. And this year we won\u2019t be held back by the restrictions of the last couple of years.<\/p>\n
Four outstanding festivals are described below:<\/p>\n
S\u00f3nar Barcelona, a 360\u00ba festival<\/strong><\/h2>\nThe name Barcelona International Festival of Advanced Music and Multimedia Art may not ring a bell, but the name it normally goes by, the S\u00f3nar Barcelona<\/a>, certainly will.<\/p>\nFor three days in mid-June every year the festival welcomes more than 120,000 visitors, who come to enjoy music of all kinds on the stages that are found throughout the Raval, at the Fira de Barcelona, and in the city center.<\/p>\n

S\u00f3nar is now one of the most prestigious events in Europe. No longer merely an festival of electronic music, the S\u00f3nar+D section attracts conferences and talks on the latest trends in the field.<\/p>\n
After two tough years, Sonar 2022 is set to return to pre-pandemic visitor numbers on July 16, 17 and 18 this year.<\/p>\n
Cru\u00eflla, music and other performing arts<\/strong><\/h2>\nThe Cru\u00eflla festival<\/a> to Barcelona in 2008. It is now held annually at the Forum during the month of July.<\/p>\nApart from performances by top Spanish and international artists such as the Black Eyed Peas, Kylie Minogue, Of Monsters and Men, Txarango, and Manel, the festival also offers several other performing arts.<\/p>\n

The festival was held as normal during the pandemic<\/a> , although more than 25,000 daily antigen tests were necessary to prevent contagion. This year\u2019s festival, which will take place on July 6,7,8 and 9, will be held in the unbeatable setting of the Parc del F\u00f3rum.<\/p>\nPrimavera Sound, a festival emulated around the world<\/strong><\/h2>\nThink of a festival that was created in Barcelona and is known throughout the world, and Primavera Sound<\/a>comes immediately to mind. The festival, founded in 2001 in Barcelona and held at the Parc del F\u00f3rum, attracts audiences of different generations and varying musical tastes due to its extensive lineup.<\/p>\nIts format is so successful that it has even been exported internationally to cities like Oporto, Los Angeles, S\u00e3o Paulo, Santiago de Chile, and Buenos Aires.<\/p>\n

Attendance records are broken every year, proof of its resounding success. The first festival in 2001 attracted 8,000 people, while the 2019 festival reached a staggering 190,000. In fact, this year\u2019s festival does not appear to be lagging behind, with more than 200,000 tickets already sold for the two festival weekends: June 2 to 5 and June 10 to 12.<\/p>\n
Festival Jardins de Pedralbes, a summer classic <\/strong><\/h2>\nThe Jardins de Pedralbes festival<\/a> was founded seven years ago by the Concert Studio group. This unique festival breathes new life into the Palau Reial park, home to a royal palace, only a few minutes from the city center.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The quality of the artists, the atmosphere, and the stage, which is located in front of the fa\u00e7ade of the royal palace, make this festival a MUST for those who love both music and Barcelona.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s festival marks a return to normalty, with more than 33 artists who will pass through Barcelona between July 7 and 24.<\/p>\n
Beyond Barcelona<\/strong><\/h2>\nIt would be wrong to conclude without mentioning the festivals that also take place outside the city of Barcelona. The pleasant Mediterranean climate and our quality of life mean that there are a large number of festivals that take place during the summer months. These include:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Magic Flute by W.A. Mozart, Photography: Festival Castell de Perelada<\/h6>\n\n- The Vilabertran Schubertiad<\/a>: Held in the gardens of the famous castle in the Alt Empord\u00e0, this unique festival is one of the most renowned.<\/li>\n
- The Schubertiada de Vilabertran<\/a>: held since 1993, the festival is a tribute to the music of Franz Schubert. The renown of the Vilabertran Schubertiad has been increasing year by year and the festival is now one of the most prestigious international festivals.<\/li>\n
- Cerdanya Music Festival<\/a>: created only a year ago, it is already one of the main events of the summer due to its first class line-up.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
