Sonar Festival
Since its start in Barcelona in 1994, Sónar has had two parts: Sónar by Day and Sónar by Night. The night part moved from the Poble Espanyol to the Mar Bella sports hall, and from 2001 to the Fira Gran Via grounds in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat. On those grounds, Björk played in 2002 and The Chemical Brothers in 2005 and 2015, among others. In 2013 Kraftwerk performed a 3D show, and the Sónar+D conference was added. Outside Barcelona, Sónar held festivals in places including Bogota, Buenos Aires, Hong Kong and Reykjavik.
