Sónar was first founded in Barcelona in 1994.

This year, the Spanish electronic music and arts festival returned stronger than ever, hosting a line-up of some of the most revered artists operating in the underground scene today. Photographer Nacho G Riaza attended the Barcelona festival to capture candid portraits of the artists on the programme.

Scroll down for Riaza’s visual diary of the event below.
