S\u00f3nar has revealed the first 30 artists for its 2027 festival, including Bonobo, Carl Cox, Peggy Gou, Jessie Ware and Yung Lean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Barcelona festival returns from 17\u201319 June 2027 with a renewed format designed to reconnect its daytime programme with the city centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first lineup was announced on 3 November, with more than 80 performances and activities expected in the final programme. Sonar<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first wave includes Bonobo, Peggy Gou, Carl Cox, Jessie Ware, Yung Lean, KI\/KI, Goldie, Cornelius, Tokischa, Romy, Honey Dijon and Oscar Mulero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Special collaborative projects include Collabs3000, bringing Chris Liebing and Speedy J together, while Honey Dijon will present her Sinister project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bonobo is among the biggest artists announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The British electronic producer is set to present a new live show built around Distance in Static.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His work has long occupied the space between electronic dance music, jazz, downtempo and live instrumentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That makes him an ideal fit for S\u00f3nar, which has historically emphasised electronic music as both a live performance art and club culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Carl Cox’s return is another significant booking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The British DJ has been one of electronic music’s most influential figures for decades, particularly within house and techno.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Peggy Gou represents a different generation of international dance music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her combination of house, techno and accessible crossover productions has helped attract a considerably broader audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
KI\/KI brings trance influences, while Goldie provides a major jungle and drum-and-bass booking. Sonar<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The festival’s structure is changing again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S\u00f3nar by Day returns to central Barcelona, with a daytime venue intended to bring the festival closer to its urban roots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S\u00f3nar by Night returns to Fira Gran Via for Friday 18 and Saturday 19 June, with four stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S\u00f3nar+D will also reconnect with the daytime programme, exploring the intersection of music, technology and creative culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S\u00f3nar takes place from Thursday 17 June through Saturday 19 June 2027 in Barcelona, Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The specific daytime location has not yet been fully announced. Further artist waves and stage details are expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
