The American band Chromatics, is undoubtedly one of today's most critically acclaimed and publicly adored groups. They head the new additions to Sónar by Day, with their high-end, 80's italo-disco influenced electronic pop sound.

Meanwhile, the charismatic Sebastien Tellier, will appear with his most recent album under his arm for a luminescent, top-notch pop concert. No less important Atom TM (aka Atom Heart or Señor Coconut) will follow suit with their excellent new album "HD", recently published on prestigious German label Raster_Noton.

Sónar by Day adds three more European projects, all of whom have a powerful stage presence: the dutch band Skip & Die, with the striking Cata Pirata fronting a sound between MIA and Die Antwoord, the French act Jackson and his Computer Band, Warp's previous star signing return with their masterful technological galactic funk show and the Icelandic Sísý Ey, arriving from a triumphant Sónar Reykjavik performance with their organic style house and breathtaking voices.

Since its very first edition, Sónar's commitment to its local and national scene remains unchanged. The 20th Anniversary provides fresh impetus to this commitment with the inclusion of more than a dozen new names to Sónar by Day: the stratospheric ZA! (considered one of the best live bands in the country), the Sevillian beatmaker Lost Twin, the wild and provocative Tiger Menja Zebra, the illustrated noise of Evol, the electronic and audiovisual perfectionist Wooky, the dialogue between the cello and laptop of Sara Galán & Edu Comelles, the audio poetry of Jansky, the unrestrained experimentation of Coàgul, the IDM and aural sound-scapes of XTRNGR and Drömnu, the groove from the decks of Tutu and the evocative digital processes of TGES.

The global roaming talent-developing academy adds new names to the SonarDôme stage. Notable live act highlights include American duo Metro Area, considered the masters of the revamped disco revival at the beginning 21st century, the iconoclastic pairings of Felix Kubin & James Pants and JESSE & Jimi Tenor, the machine-less techno of Austrians Elektro Guzzi, the freestyle rap of Oddisee, the ghetto beats set of Branko (member of Buraka Som Sistema), and the high quality reflective hip-hop of Madrid's C. Tangana.

Completing the line up Kidsuke (the duo formed by Kidkanevil and Daisuke Tanabe), Cassegrain (deep techno from Greece and Germany), Palmbomen (psychedelica with touches of dub and krautrock), DZA (hip hop beats and rhymes from Russia), Satore (Mallorcan deep house straight from the heart) and We Like Turtles (the in demand dj duo from Tarragona).
