Barcelona’s renowned Sónar festival has thrilled millions over the years since its inception in 1994. Over the weekend, the festival came to Denmark for the first time.

Copenhagen was treated to a taste of Barcelona this weekend as the first installment of the renowned Sónar brand came to town.

Located at the pristine concert hall at DR Byen, Sónar’s debut on Danish soil gathered over 30 acts within the electronic music spectrum for two days of innovative festivity.

The Local was on hand to capture some of the best moments of the marquee event.
