Wed, 06 Feb 2013To be fair to them.. Sonar try to cover the whole spectrum of electronic music.

That means there's going to be stuff that isnt for everyone.

This forum was full of the exact same complaints about Deadmau5 playing last year.

To be clear, I agree with the complainers. I dont think Skrilllex or Deadmau5 (or Fatboy Slim for that matter) are good enough for Sonar, but I've at least come to accept that from time to time they book more commercial acts that wont be up my street and I'm OK... More

Tue, 05 Feb 2013Sonar has always been eclectic and thats what makes it great but, Skrillex? Really?
Someone is taking the piss, or needs to shift some tickets.

Just looking back at the bill the first year I went and how much its changed.

People wonder why the volume of off-sonar parties has swelled so much

Tue, 05 Feb 2013To be fair, Sonar has always tried to market itself as some kind of festival of advanced music and art, often booking very experimental performers. I can't imagine that any of the usual Sonar crowd enjoy Skrillex's music, so it seems like they're trying to broaden their customer base to include younger people or to commercialise the festival somewhat.
