Sonar Festival

The first wave of artists set to appear at Sónar Lisboa 2024 have been announced – including Bonobo, Shygirl, Eliza Rose and more.

The upcoming instalment will mark the third edition of the Lisbon-based festival and will be taking place between March 22 and March 24 next year.

As ever, the three-day event will be returning to Parque Eduardo VII in the heart of the Portuguese capital for the 2024 edition, and is set to host two days and two nights of music, creativity and technology. Now, organisers for Sónar Lisboa have announced the first wave of names set to appear at next year’s event.

These include DJ sets from Bonobo, Eliza Rose and CC:DISCO, as well as a never-before-seen set from Belgian duo 2manydjs, featuring special guests Éclair Fifi and Erol Alkan.

Other artists performing at Sónar Lisboa ‘24 include Sevdaliza, Oneohtrix Point Never, Tommy Cash and Wata Igarashi. Mercury Prize-nominated singer-songwriter Shygirl will also be presenting a set called ‘ClubShy’, and Tiga and Hudson Mohawke are joining forces to present one called ‘Love Minus Zero’.

The festival’s devotion to supporting the local scenes is also reflected in the upcoming instalment, with a quartet of artists from Portugal announced today: Chima Isaaro, Moullinex + GPU Panic, Supa b2b Ghetthoven, and XEXA.
