SÓNAR
June 13–15, various venues across Barcelona, Spain Big changes are afoot this year at the always reliably epic Sónar’s 2oth anniversary festival. For a start there’s a new venue for Sónar By Day, which moves to Plaça d’Espanya – which to the disgust of Barcelona’s famously benevolent taxi drivers is only ten minutes away fro the venue for Sonar By Night. A new SónarCar stage will host the most forward thinking electronic labels, and the line-up this year is suitably celebratory, with three strands of programming – ‘The American Avalanche’ featuring the likes of Skrillex, Diplo, Baauer and TNGHT, ‘Dance and Hedonism’ (Paul Kalkbrenner, Maceo Plex, Todd Terje and Lindstromm et al) and Sonar Classics, welcoming back some of the festival’s favourite performers from down the years like Matthew Herbert, Modeselektor, Mary Anne Hobbs, Justice and the Ed Banger Crew. The godlike Laurent Garnier will play the final set of the festival, while the usual madness and parties return to ‘off-Sónar’. Highlights Kraftwerk (3D show), Skrillex, Major Lazer, TNGHT, Modeselektor (DJ set), Breakbot, Baauer, Delorean, Foreign Beggars, Eats Everything, Justice, Oneman, Objekt, Fatima Al Qadiri, Matthias Zimmermann, Krystal Klear Tickets €40–€175, www.sonar.es/en

tramlines festival
July 19–21, various venues, Sheffield city centre The pick of the UK’s city-based festivals, Tramlines offers 700 artists and DJs in venues across Sheffield over three days and nights – at a bargain £6 per day.

Aside from the hundreds of gigs and club nights there is all kinds of quirkiness going on, from the ‘folk forest’ to street theatre to a free bus that takes you around the city from gig to gig. 150,000 people invaded the Steel City for last year’s event, so get that hotel booked.

CREAMFIELDS
August 23–25, Daresbury, Cheshire, UK Voted the Best Dance Act Of All Time in Mixmag’s poll, who better to headline Creamfields’ 15th birthday than The Prodigy? It’ll be Liam and Co’s only UK appearance this year. With two massive stages, there’s plenty of room for big guns like Tiësto, Avicii, David Guetta, Knife Party and Swedish House Mafia’s Seb and Steve, plus explosive underground talent and brilliant live acts. Mixmag will host a Silent Disco on Friday night, plus Above & Beyond’s Anjunabeats arena on Saturday and the Nation Stage with cover stars Groove Armada (plus A-Trak, Fake Blood and more) on Saturday. Cream have spent £500,000 on the site in case of a repeat of last year’s freak weather – which by our reckoning pretty much guarantees sunshine! Highlights The Prodigy, Avicii, Knife Party, Tiësto, Steve Angello, David Guetta, Afrojack, Richie Hawtin, AlunaGeorge, Loco Dice, Groove Armada, Above & Beyond, Paul Oakenfold, Eric Prydz, Annie Mac, Julio Bashmore, Pete Tong, Solomun, Skream, Benga, Andy C, Paul van Dyk, Sub Focus (live), many more Tickets £70–£250 www.creamfields.com
