Sónar 2010 will take place simultaneously in Barcelona and A Coruña
The Sónar Festival, with confirmed dates of 17, 18 and 19 June, presents a line-up that will to a large extent be shared by the two cities.
Sónar 2010 presents its image – a journey to the end of the world along the Way of St. James.
For the first time in its history, Sónar, the International Festival of Advanced Music and Multimedia Art, will be split between two venues. As part of the Xacobeo Jubilee Year, Sónar travels along the Way of Saint James, and will take place simultaneously in A Coruña and Barcelona. As a result, there will be a double helping of Sónar, the annual Barcelona festival and this one-off event, which will be called Sónar Galicia.
Like the Sónar Festival in Barcelona, Sónar Galicia will have a Sónar by Day with a music line-up, and a multimedia and audiovisual area with a special emphasis on Galician artists. The Sónar by Night stages will feature the latest leading lights in electronica.
Presentation of the Sónar 2010 Image
The image of Sónar 2010 is associated with Galicia and takes the form of a full-length film. The film is entitled FINISTERRE, and includes six chapters and an epilogue. It looks at the introspective journey undertaken by two ghosts who during Sónar 2009 decided to travel along the Way of Saint James to the end of the world. Once they arrive, they begin a fleeting new period on earth.
