Sonar Festival 2016 Lineup: New Order, Fatboy Slim, Skepta Lead Phase 1

Sónar Festival Barcelona has announced the first phase of acts that will join its 2016 lineup. Among those that will lead the charge into Barcelona this year include New Order, Fatboy Slim, Skepta, Oneohtrix Point Never, Hudson Mohawke, Busy P and The Black Madonna.

Though the lineup is only in its first phase, it is already showing the diversity and some of the highlights as one of the summer's brightest European festival.

There will be over 150 performances at the 2016 edition, including two European premieres. ANOHNI, a pseudonym for the singer and composer from Antony and the Johnsons will team up with Oneoftrix Point Never and Hudson Mohawke, both collaborators on her next project Hopelessness, will all perform together. Classical composer John Luther Adams will lead an appropriate climate change-themed piece performed by the OBC as part of a new partnership between Sónar and L'Auditori.

Also included is an Ed Banger House Party, which will have Busy P, Para One and Boston Bun.

Check out the teaser video for Sónar's first phase complete with cats and eclectic dressed humans walking around near them. Sónar always likes to have some odd trailer videos for their festivals and being uploaded to Vimeo gives them an added artistic touch. See the full lineup below and head to Sónar's website to pick up your tickets for just €195. The festival will take place June 16-18.
