We Are Europe is a new initiative from the European Union's Creative Europe program, a partnership formed by eight of the continents major festivals: c/o pop, Elevate, Insomnia, Nuits Sonores, Resonate, Reworks, Sónar and TodaysArt. These organisations all include creative forums (such as Sónar+D) as part of their festivals. Their shared goal is to create, produce and disseminate innovative cultural practices from a multidisciplinary perspective, establishing links between artists, professionals, ideas and the general public. This year's common theme is cultural entrepreneurship. Sónar welcomes the festivals Reworks (Greece) and Elevate (Austria), who will participate in both the musical programming at the festival and the content at Sónar+D. Meanwhile, Sónar will also commission and present content at the TodaysArt (Netherlands) and Insomnia (Norway) festivals.

From a musical perspective, Reworks will present their program for the SonarVillage stage on Saturday June 18, with performances by (in order of appearance) Tendts, Ison, Badbadnotgood, Ivy Lab, Nozinja, Troyboi, Congo Natty and Ed Banger House Party. Meanwhile, Elevate will be responsible for the Kode9 x Lawrence Lek present The Notel, audiovisual show in SonarHall on Friday 17, the debut live show from the veteran British producer.
