Sónar Festival just got a lot bigger with a second batch of artists that have been added to its 2015 lineup. The legendary Barcelona, Spain-based festival has added 32 names to its roster of artists, and it did not skimp on the acts. Sticking to the mission of keeping away from your typical commercial acts, Sónar added names like Jamie xx, Maya Jane Coles, Die Antwoord, Flying Lotus and FKA twigs to the roster. Not afraid to push boundaries, Sónar has tabbed Skrillex as one of its Phase 2 headliners, which caused quite a stir the first time around, but now not many will raise a fuss this time because hating on Skrillex has largely gone out of style.
Further additions to the lineup that will have more than 130 performers in electronic, electro-pop and even a little hip-hop include Duran Duran, Arca & Jesse Kanda, Hot Chip, The 2 Bears, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, Laurent Garnier and others.
The new batch of artists will join already-announced acts like The Chemical Brothers, who will be premiering their new, live show at the festival, alongside other performances from the likes of Ten Walls, Sophie and others.
In its 22nd year, the Barcelona festival will take place this year from June 18 to 20. Tickets are still available for purchase on its website. See the full Phase 2 lineup below.
