A$AP Rocky, the charismatic global star of hip-hop will arrive at Sónar in the gestation period of his third album, and his live performance could well include brand new material. The Harlem MC enjoys massive success, while also receiving plaudits from contemporaries and critics alike.

Two new festival shows noted for their high quality audiovisual content are: the shocking Squarepusher concert (debuting new album, "Damogen Furies"); and Double Vision, a show combining the sounds of German producer Atom?, with the image and lighting design of Australian artist Robin Fox.

Electronic dance music, in particular sees new artists added to the line-up, with dance floor protagonists -the majority performing at Sónar by Night- like Seth Troxler, Tiga (live for the first time), Jamie Jones, Erol Alkan, Felix Dickinson, Dj Tennis, Kasper Bjørke and Adam Beyer, and budding representatives of the new trends in grime, trap and jersey club; Dj Sliink, Swindle, RL Grime and Gramatik.

The festival hosts performances by artists from distant latitudes, including: South African Black Coffee, Colombians Bomba Estéreo and Egyptian Bosaina. The latter forming part of the first artists to be presented by the Red Bull Music Academy and will appear on the SonarDôme stage, together with Mumdance & Novelist, Zebra Katz, Xosar, Ossie,
La Mverte and Torus, among others.

Los Voluble (Flamenco and electronica), Noir Noir (psychedelic noise), Dj Detweiler (dance beats),
