Yep its absolutely top notch. If I do go this year, I wont bother with the festival though, just hit the clubs and parties around Barcelona

Recognise a few acts but overall ive never heard of any of them, is it primarily Techno or what's the story?

Yeah, they would justify attendance alone. That's an album though, wonder why listed like that for a festival?

have to agree, the line up is very weak...absolutely loved it last year but i'm thinkin of giving it a miss this year and saving my penny's for thailand in July... unless I win the lotto that is!

I d say the line up is Sh1ite! Except for Chloe & Ben Watt maybe the rest is very disappointing IMO

doesn't mean you shouldn't though - always good to jam a load of music into a couple of days occasionally and i'm defo looking forward to barcelona and sonar after everything i've heard from mates who've been before...

anyone know how close this is to a final line-up? how late do sonar usually keep announcing big acts?

gerry99

im not really impressed by that line up , im thinkin of goin to the timewarp festival on april 5th in mannehaim, which i think is a much much better line up !!!!
