Overview
- The festival is scheduled to run from Wednesday August 5 through Sunday August 9 and expects roughly 40,000 visitors per day.
- Organizers list a wide, multi‑genre program that includes headliners such as Rigoberta Bandini, Leiva, Guitarricadelafuente and Crystal Fighters and say more than 200 artists are programmed across the weekend.
- New measures promoted by the organisers include up to 500 'puntos violetas' for gender‑safety assistance and a large system of screens meant to let people view concerts from across the site.
- A University of Burgos study cited by organisers estimates Sonorama delivers about €30 million to local accommodation, restaurants and services, a boost that local leaders say makes Aranda de Duero a priority tourist destination in August.
- What began as a small late‑1990s indie gathering has grown into a nearly 30‑year event that prides itself on a 'family' ethos and close treatment of artists, though outlets differ slightly on whether this is the festival’s 28th or 29th edition.
