Sónar Lisboa returns in 2025, unveiling an exciting lineup of 15 artists ready to transform the Portuguese capital into an electronic music hub. Taking place from April 11-13 at the iconic Parque Eduardo VII, Sónar Lisboa will bring together techno, house, and experimental sounds in a showcase that merges music with creativity and technology for an unparalleled experience.

A Star-Studded Lineup with Techno Icons and Emerging Talent

Headlining the initial lineup, Berghain resident Marcel Dettmann will present his new live show My Own Shadow, which promises to captivate audiences with a unique visual and auditory experience. He’ll be joined by the legendary Siberian DJ Nina Kraviz, whose innovative approach to techno has made her one of the most influential figures in the electronic music scene. Additionally, British electronic maestro Max Cooper will bring a visually stunning audiovisual show to Sónar Lisboa, immersing fans in his unique soundscapes and visual artistry.

Sónar Lisboa 2025 will also welcome rave superstar Anetha, who recently wowed fans at Sónar Barcelona 2024 and returns to Lisbon for another electrifying performance.

Diverse Styles and Global Underground Talent

While big names dominate the headlines, Sónar Lisboa also spotlights groundbreaking artists pushing the boundaries of the underground scene. Colombian selector ISAbella and the b2b duo of BASHKKA and Ogazón, representing Turkey and Spain, will bring eclectic rhythms to the festival’s stages. The Berlin-based duo Modeselektor will return with a DJ set, staying true to their rave roots. Italian artist Gabber Eleganza will make his Portuguese debut with The Hakke Show, a tribute to gabber culture that promises high-energy thrills for fans.

From the United States, multimedia artist and activist Juliana Huxtable will use her music to break down the walls of rave culture in a performance that defies boundaries. Representing the local scene, Portuguese DJ NOIA is known for her jungle and drum’n’bass sets, adding her fresh style to the festival's impressive lineup.

The Portuguese underground scene will also be well represented by Héctor Oaks, whose gritty techno, ghetto house, and electro soundscapes promise an intense performance. Meanwhile, Parisian duo Amor Satyr & Siu Mata are set to ignite the dance floors by blending Latin rhythms with tribal techno and jungle influences, making Lisbon’s Parque Eduardo VII the epicenter of the electronic music world for three unforgettable days.

Two Festivals in One: Sónar by Day and Sónar by Night

This year, Sónar Lisboa offers a dual experience: Sónar by Day and Sónar by Night. Taking place on April 12 and 13, the daytime festival unfolds across three outdoor stages in Parque Eduardo VII, presenting a mix of styles from chilled grooves to high-energy techno. This allows fans to experience a wide range of genres in an open and dynamic setting. Meanwhile, Sónar by Night (April 11 and 12) will offer an intense clubbing experience on a single stage, maximizing the energy and creating a more intimate vibe.

Since its founding in Barcelona in 1994, Sónar has been committed to fusing art and technology, bringing that vision to Lisbon in 2022. This 2025 edition is set to take the festival’s blend of art, music, and technology even further, with each performance adding to the festival’s innovative and immersive experience.
