Sonar Line Up Announced!

Thursday, February 25th, 2010 | Event Preview | No Comments

So the bulk of the line-up has been announced and it’s looking pretty hot. We already knew The Chems, LCD Soundsystem and Air were on the bill. So who else is on? Well as expected Richie Hawtin is taking his Plastikman world tour to Sonar, we’re very excited about that! The musical genius that is Matthew Herbet will be in attendance too and Sonar firm favourite 2ManyDJs are also returning. Booka Shade will be bringing their live show to the delight of many and from the hip hop side of things Kid Koala is booked. I’ve only seen him once but his show was one of the most creative things I’ve seen in hip hop.  Talking of hip hop, on of the originators The Sugar Hill Gang are also set to make an appearance!

One of the themes for this year will be a focus on the multi faceted British music scene which will showcase everything from the large acts like The Chems and Hot Chip though to the underground with the likes of Joy Orbison, Speech Debelle, Sandwell District and Fuck Buttons. No doubt more will be announced in the coming weeks and we’ll be sure to keep you posted.

A Couple More Big Guns Added to Sonar 2010

Monday, February 8th, 2010 | Event Preview | No Comments

Another couple of headlining announcements for Sonar 2010… English ghetto boy Dizzee Rascal has been added to the bill, which will surely keep the travelling Brits “Bonkers” happy. If he plays a good proportion of Boy In Da Corner then it will be a worthy addition. Other headliner sees the return of The Chemical Brothers. Massive for me, ever since a kid I’ve always loved the ballsy beats the Chems have knocked out. Their showing at Sonar 2005 was an extraordinary showing whilst their Glastonbury shows have gone down in legend with their tripped out visuals. So that’s now Air, LCD Soundsystem and The Chems. Things are looking peachy.

Earlybird tickets are still available until 15th Feb.
