In need of a pick me up as we head towards Blue Monday? Look no further than SonarMix 072, delivered today by riria. The Tokyo-born, London-based selector has carved out a name for herself as one of the most reliably exciting and inventive DJs around. Her sets offer a fresh take on the classic UK style: think wild transitions, plenty of bass wobble, and a big dose of fun.Though she’s known to blend everything from amapiano and gqom to Jersey club, dancehall and UK funky, here she’s indulged her current passion for UK Garage and dubstep-adjacent cuts. In short, this is 60 minutes of bass-heavy, flawlessly mixed, and infectious club music.

Original, unique, and diverse, this first selection of artists speaks to our DNA as a festival. Ahead of our most ambitious and interactive edition to date, we’re evolving while staying true to our founding principles.Each year, we deliberately release the line-up in segments, allowing you to discover the programme in different stages of construction: 2026 will be no different. These 31 names account for just under a third of the final line-up - which will include over 100 acts and additional activities - yet already illustrate the enduring spirit of Sónar: a celebration of innovation and creativity in electronic music and beyond.A reminder: this year we’re bringing together - not fusing, not merging - Sónar by Day and Sónar by Night for three days of non-stop, uninterrupted music. Questions? We’ve got answers for you here.
One single ticket is now your passport to entire worlds of sound. The man who took grime global, Skepta, returns for a triumphant headline show, alongside a pair of potent new AV shows from the reigning queens of techno, Amelie Lens and Charlotte de Witte. And only at Sónar would you find New York r&b icon Kelis- yes, the same Kelis who wrote Milkshake and Millionaire - alongside pioneering industrial and electronic act Cabaret Voltaire. Elsewhere, one of UK dance music’s fastest rising new stars, Sammy Virji,makes his Sónar debut, as does Nia Archives: the jungle revivalist is bringing a full band live show to Barcelona. They’re joined byanother multi-faceted UK artist, as Joy Orbison returns to Sónar for what will be another sublime set. They’re just some of the highlights from an already-stacked lineup of DJs that also includes future superstars KETTAMA, DJ Gigola andFunk Tribu, selector-par-excellence Colleen ‘Cosmo’ Murphy, and ambassadors of mental techno - DJ MARIA. - and high-velocity club music - Clementaum b2b LAZA.Finally, Julianna Barwick & Mary Lattimore bring a necessary touch of neoclassical wonder to Sónar 2026, ahead of the release of their collaborative record of harp, synthesiser and vocals, Tragic Magic. And we’ve also tapped two Sónar favourites - Modeselektorand WhoMadeWho - to play brand-new live sets.Grab your SonarPass now and you’ll have access to all this and more. And stay tuned for the rest of the line-up and more information on Sónar 2026 - including full details of the Sónar+D programme located in the city centre - coming early next year.See you at Sónar 2026!
