We know… back in February we told you that the lineup for Sónar 2026 was now complete, but in truth we still had a few finishing touches to add. Now we’re making it official: with 102 different acts, the lineup for Sónar 2026 at Fira Gran Via is complete.
Today we’ve added Japanese audiovisual artist Daito Manabe and genre-defying Bristol group Scaler. That follows the announcement last week of the artists who’ll appear as part of the Glitterbox takeover - Mousse T., Melvo Baptiste and Yasmin - alongside the BULTO takeover, which features Amanda Mussi, JESUZ X b2b NE/RE/A and Nina GGG. And this week we also unveiled the list of guests who’ll appear alongside Speedy J on each day of STOOR Live, his improvised collaborative live project: on Thursday, Colin Benders, Nadia Struiwigh, Reeko and .VRIL; on Friday, FJAAK, KiNK, and Nene H; and on Saturday, Dasha Rush, Luke Slater, Mathew Jonson and Ø [Phase].
Remember: you can browse the full lineup - and the day splits - here.
Daito Manabe and Scaler join the SonarHall lineup
It all started at Sónar+D 2025, when Japanese polymath Daito Manabe met researchers from Google DeepMind. A meeting that could only lead to one thing: Daito started experimenting with DeepMind’s AI tools, and has now prepared a new AV show that he’ll debut at the redesigned SonarHall on Friday 19th June at Sónar 2026. It’s the second announcement so far for AI & Music powered by S+T+ARTS, joining Reinier Zonneveld's new R2 project.
SonarHall will also be the venue where Scaler appear Thursday 18th June, splicing together elements from trip-hop and drum’n’bass with metal, noise, techno and drill. The Bristol quartet’s Sónar debut is more proof that in 2026, electronics and guitars are closer than ever.
STOOR Live: extended live sessions all weekend long, featuring KiNK, Dasha Rush, FJAAK, and more
When we announced that STOOR Live would be a part of Sónar 2026, we knew it wasn’t going to be just another act on the lineup… Dutch techno veteran Speedy J has turned a pandemic-era studio project into one of the most unique live concepts around: extended, hardware-driven, and completely improvised collaborative sessions.
STOOR Live will inhabit SonarCar for five hours on Thursday and seven hours on both Friday and Saturday. Each session will feature Speedy J and four other performers for a collectively improvised live performance that moves between ambient, atmospheric electronics, house, techno… and wherever else they decide to go. Nothing is scripted or rehearsed: each night will be a one-of-a-kind, unrepeatable experience.
Thursday’s opening session will feature Colin Benders, Nadia Struiwigh, Reeko, and .VRIL. On Friday, FJAAK, KiNK, and Nene H will appear; while on Saturday, Dasha Rush, Luke Slater, Mathew Jonson and Ø [Phase] all participate.
Amanda Mussi y Mousse T. headline the BULTO and Glitterbox takeovers at SonarHall
We already revealed that SonarHall will be transformed in 2026, with a setup that allows us to shift smoothly from concert hall to club in a matter of minutes. We’ll also extend the opening hours throughout the night on Friday and Saturday with takeovers by BULTO and Glitterbox.
Bogota queer kinky collective BULTO will take control on Friday night, bringing their wild, secretive techno parties to Barcelona. Headlining is Amanda Mussi, a veteran of São Paolo’s infamous Mamba Negra parties; alongside residents Nina GGG and JESUZ X b2b NE/RE/A.
On Saturday night, iconic house and disco party Glitterbox takes the reins. Launched in 2015 by Defected Records, it’s famed for its hedonistic atmosphere and legendary Ibiza summer events. At Sónar 2026, they’ve invited German super-producer, German super-producer Mousse T., one of the funkiest artists around, plus Glitterbox residents and radio hosts Melvo Baptiste and Yasmin.
