Multiple Sónar events happen around the world, but Sónar Barcelona is where it all started, and it has only grown in size since its inception. With the likes of Fatboy Slim, Boys Noize, Laurent Garnier, Skepta and many more influential artists in the scene on stage this year, Sónar delivered. The Sónar By Day and Sónar By Night sessions both saw massive turnouts, and everyone went home happy.

Here are some pictures for you to drool over till the next edition of Sónar Barcelona comes along.
