The festival has gained a name for itself since it was founded in Barcelona in 1994 as one of the best festivals in the world. Sónar now run annual festivals in Sao Paulo, Bogota, Santiago, Buenos Aires, Reykjavik, and Stockholm. Barcelona, however, will always remain special as it's where it all began. New Order, John Grant, and Fatboy Slim are among the best known names on the bill but there’s also a really rare performance happening too. There will be a European premiere for ANOHNI, a pseudonym for lead singer and composer from Antony and the Johnsons together with Onehotrix Point Never and Hudson Mohawke on stage. Other highlights include UK bass music producer Kode 9, UK rapper Skepta, and ambient dub from King Midas Sound and Fennesz' recent collaboration. The festival is split into two main events: Sónar by day is held in the historic heart of the city, and Sónar by night is held at a big modern venue perfectly equipped for raves. Sónar by day highlights include dancehall and reggae icon Congo Natty which will undoubtedly lead to an incredible atmosphere under the intense mediterranean sun.
