Sonar 2007: First round line-up announced

Barcelona’s Sonar Festival, the essential meeting point for an alert public, cutting-edge artists and professionals from the sectors of music and modern arts will be held this year on 14, 15 and 16 of June.

Once again this year, the festival returns to the Fira Gran Via (M2) area. Sonar by Day will have its normal stages, SonarVillage, SonarComplex, SonarDome and the Hall stage, and its other classic exhibition and disclosure areas, SonarCinema, Conferences and Debates, Sonarama, SonarMatica and SonarExtra.

Confirmed acts ad DJ's so far include names such as hip-hop legends Beastie Boys, Dave Clarke, Junior Boys, Radio Slave, Jeff Mills, Timo Maas, Clark, Mogwai, Simian Mobile Disco, and others.

Beastie Boys will perform two very different concerts - an instrumental one, "A Gala Event - Exclusive Instrumental Show" on Thursday in SonarPark on the opening night accompanied by the minimalist techno project, Narod Niki, and another one featuring all their classics in the Friday session of Sonar by Night.

Confirmed showcases include BBC Radio 1 dubstep armada with Skream, Kode 9 & Spaceape, Berlin-based Innervisions outfit with Ame, Dixon and Chateau Flight, as well as presentations from Ed Banger, Lo Recordings, Station 55, and more.
