Sonar this year is being held at two different sites, in Barca as usual and also in A Coruña in Galicia.

[st00ka]

The line-up so far is kicking off a flyer.  LCD Soundsystem appearing on 17th in A Coruña and 18th in Barca (suggesting an afternoon gig to me which would be ace), Air, the Chemical Brothers and *ahem* Dizzee Rascal.  

Hopefully there'll be less of the poppy Ed Banger type stuff this year and more of the "advanced" music that it's supposed to be about.

Well this year there are two Sonar festivals running concurrently this year one in A Coruña in Galicia and the normal one in Barcelona.

Sonar Galicia is 50 euros for the three days but looks like it has a smaller lineup (no day part).  I think you can fly to A Coruña direct from Heathrow with vueling.com for about 150 Euros.

Sonar Barcelona consists of two parts Sonar by Day and Sonar by Night and is now 155 euros for a festival pass.  Plus there are loads of off-sonar parties throughout the city while the festival is on.

Easyjet, jet2, bmibaby and monarch all fly to Barca reasonably cheaply.

Sonar by Day is right in the middle of Barcelona and Sonar by Night moves out to a Exposition Centre near the airport and there are buses that run all night to and from the centre of Barca (I think they cost two euros last time).

Tickets are available on Ticketmaster

Hi guys, I've got 2 earlybird tickets for Sonar  Barcelona available for sale this year, as unfortunately we're now unable to go.

They're £115 each, and if anyone is interested, PM me, or if you have some questions then please add them to this thread.

It's a cracking lineup this year, with The Chemical Brothers, LCD Soundsystem, Air, & 2ManyDJs amongst others playing over the 3 days / 2 nights.

Just to pass on the word: Delorean are amazing live, saw em at beni last year, and they were a highlight. I have since caught them in a club gig, and they are part of a great new wave of Spanish music - go check em out if you are at Sonar!
