Sónar 2026 has revealed the first part of its lineup, featuring over 100 shows. The festival, taking place from June 18th to 20th in Barcelona, continues its mission to showcase diverse and original talent in electronic and digital culture.
The initial announcement highlights a wide range of artists. New York R&B legend Kelis will perform at the festival for the first time in her career. British rapper Skepta will present his new album, and the festival will feature a strong focus on UK sounds with artists like Nia Archives and Sammy Virji.
For the first time, techno artists Charlotte de Witte and Amelie Lens will both perform, each with a new audiovisual show. The lineup also includes returning favorites like Modeselektor and WhoMadeWho, who will present new live performances. A key debut comes from the pioneering band Cabaret Voltaire, reuniting two founding members.
The program spans from the experimental, like the collaborative work of Julianna Barwick and Mary Lattimore, to club-focused acts such as Boys Noize and a diverse group of international DJs.
A significant change for 2026 is the festival’s new format. For the first time, the entire musical program will take place at a single location, Fira Barcelona. This unified space will feature six stages (three outdoor and three indoor), allowing for continuous music throughout the three days. According to director François Jozic, this creates a more seamless and immersive experience. The Sónar+D program, focused on creativity and technology, will have a larger presence at the venue.
