Sónar has revealed the first 30 artists for its 2027 festival, including Bonobo, Carl Cox, Peggy Gou, Jessie Ware and Yung Lean.

The Barcelona festival returns from 17–19 June 2027 with a renewed format designed to reconnect its daytime programme with the city centre.

The first lineup was announced on 3 November, with more than 80 performances and activities expected in the final programme. Sonar

Who is playing Sónar 2027?

The first wave includes Bonobo, Peggy Gou, Carl Cox, Jessie Ware, Yung Lean, KI/KI, Goldie, Cornelius, Tokischa, Romy, Honey Dijon and Oscar Mulero.

Further announced artists include Frost Children, Job Jobse, Aurora Halal, Donato Dozzy & Batu, Yu Su, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, Funk Assault and Busy P B2B Girl Ultra.

Special collaborative projects include Collabs3000, bringing Chris Liebing and Speedy J together, while Honey Dijon will present her Sinister project.

Bonobo returns with a new live show

Bonobo is among the biggest artists announced.

The British electronic producer is set to present a new live show built around Distance in Static.

His work has long occupied the space between electronic dance music, jazz, downtempo and live instrumentation.

That makes him an ideal fit for Sónar, which has historically emphasised electronic music as both a live performance art and club culture.

Carl Cox and Peggy Gou lead the DJ programme

Carl Cox’s return is another significant booking.

The British DJ has been one of electronic music’s most influential figures for decades, particularly within house and techno.

Peggy Gou represents a different generation of international dance music.

Her combination of house, techno and accessible crossover productions has helped attract a considerably broader audience.

KI/KI brings trance influences, while Goldie provides a major jungle and drum-and-bass booking. Sonar

Sónar by Night returns to Fira Gran Via for Friday 18 and Saturday 19 June, with four stages.

Sónar+D will also reconnect with the daytime programme, exploring the intersection of music, technology and creative culture.

When is Sónar 2027?

Sónar takes place from Thursday 17 June through Saturday 19 June 2027 in Barcelona, Spain.
