Sónar has announced its first 30 acts for the 2027 festival in Barcelona, including Carl Cox, Bonobo, Jessie Ware, Peggy Gou and Tokischa. The festival is scheduled for June 17–19 and will again split its daytime and nighttime programs between separate venues, with the daytime location still to be announced.
Barcelona’s Sónar Festival has announced its first 30 acts for 2027, naming Carl Cox, Bonobo and Jessie Ware among performers scheduled for June 17–19. The festival also said it will return to a split-venue format: Sónar by Day will move to a central Barcelona waterfront site that has not yet been named, while Sónar by Night will be held at Fira Gran Via.
The initial lineup includes Peggy Gou, Tokischa, Yung Lean and Japanese experimental musician Cornelius, as well as Romy of The xx in a DJ set. Other announced performers include Honey Dijon presenting “Sinister,” KI/KI, Oscar Mulero, Frost Children, Job Jobse, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith and Aurora Halal, who is listed for a live performance. The announcement is the first portion of the program; the festival is expected to feature more than 80 performances and activities.
Cox’s appearance will be his first at Sónar in more than two decades, according to the festival announcement as reported by Consequence. Bonobo is scheduled to present a new live show featuring material from Distance in Static. Goldie is also booked to perform live after cancelling his planned 2026 appearance because of an injury, the report said.
The other announced names include a back-to-back set by Busy P and Girl Ultra, the collaborative project Collabs3000, formed by Chris Liebing and Speedy J, and a joint performance by Donato Dozzy and Batu. The full initial list also names Adriana Lopez presenting Suut, Disobey Sound System, Drizzyclare, Ehua and Flore, Funk Assault, Kristina Opal Sunn, SALOME, Tash LC, TK MAMI and Yu Su.
A Split Format Returns in 2027
The announcement sets out more than a list of performers: Sónar is again separating its daytime and nighttime programs after combining them at Fira Gran Via in 2026. The change affects how attendees will move between the festival’s music and conference programming, and makes the still-unannounced waterfront site a key piece of information for people planning travel and accommodation.
The booking mix spans established electronic acts and artists working across pop, rap and experimental music. For readers considering the festival, Cox’s return after more than two decades and Bonobo’s new live show are among the most specific set details released so far. However, the announcement does not provide set times or a day-by-day schedule, so it is not yet possible to plan around individual performances.

How Sónar’s Venue Plan Changed
Sónar’s 2027 plan follows a format change in 2026, when the festival brought its daytime and nighttime programs together at Fira Gran Via. For the next edition, Sónar by Night is set to return to that venue on June 18 and 19, while Sónar by Day is due to take place at a waterfront location in central Barcelona. The exact waterfront site has not been disclosed.
The daytime program will reunite with Sónar+D, the festival’s program focused on music, technology and creativity. The lineup announcement also followed a promotional campaign in which organizers staged a mock funeral for the festival and opened an online book of condolences, according to Consequence. The campaign preceded the reveal of the 2027 plans.
Venue and Schedule Details Pending
The first announcement leaves several practical details open. Organizers have not named the Sónar by Day waterfront venue, and have not published a day-by-day breakdown, set times or the complete program. The report says the edition will include more than 80 performances and activities, but the announced 30-act list does not explain how the remaining bookings or activities will be distributed.
Ticket options are on sale, according to the report, including SonarPass and SonarPass+ packages in standard and VIP versions. The source material does not give prices, ticket conditions or further information about capacity and access at the new daytime site. Those details remain subject to future announcements.
Further Lineup News Expected
Attendees can expect further information from Sónar as the festival fills out its program, including additional acts, the daytime venue announcement and practical event details. A schedule showing which artists perform on each date has not been released in the material available for this announcement.
The festival is scheduled for June 17–19, 2027. Sónar by Night is set for June 18 and 19 at Fira Gran Via; the daytime program’s waterfront location remains to be confirmed. Tickets are reported to be on sale now through the festival’s available SonarPass options.
