Sónar Hong Kong 2019 line-up: MØ, Bonobo, AlunaGeorge, Thundercat and many more
- Thirty-five music acts will perform on five indoor and outdoor stages at Hong Kong Science Park in April
- This will be the third Hong Kong edition of the huge Spanish electronic music and arts festival
Danish singer-songwriter MØ, British trip hop star Bonobo and English electronic duo AlunaGeorge have been announced as the headline acts at this year’s Sónar Hong Kong music festival.
Other notable acts appearing at the third local edition of the influential Spanish electronic music and arts festival on April 13 include experimental American bassist/producer Thundercat, Canadian DJ/producer Ryan Hemsworth and John Talabot, a DJ from the festival’s home city of Barcelona.
Since Sónar was launched in Barcelona in 1994, it has evolved into arguably the most influential electronic music festival in the world. It made its first international foray to London in 2002 and has since travelled to cities including Tokyo, New York, Seoul, Chicago, Hamburg, Buenos Aires and São Paulo.
The 2019 edition of Sónar Hong Kong will be held at the Hong Kong Science Park, the New Territories venue where the local edition of the festival has been staged since it made its debut in 2017.
Apart from the 35 acts performing across five indoor and outdoor stages, the 2019 festival will again include the daytime Sónar +D programme, which brings together a range of experimental creators and technologists for demonstrations, workshops, talks and installations that all festival-goers can get involved with.
