  • Aphex Twin added to Sonar 2011 image
  • A fresh set of acts have been confirmed for the Sonar Festival in Barcelona, including IDM icon Aphex Twin. Details on the lineup have been trickling in since November, both for the central festival in Barcelona and its related events in Tokyo, London and A Coruna. Today's announcement is the biggest yet in terms of volume, with more than 50 additions in total. Highlights include The Human League, Surgeon, Actress, Toro Y Moi, Scuba and Trentemøller. In the SonarDome, Red Bull have booked Katy B, Brandt Brauer Frick, Tiger & Woods and Teebs. Label showcases will come from Night Slugs, Ninja Tune, Infine and Smalltown Supersound. On the more avant-garde side of things, Raime, Alva Noto and Ryuichi Sakamoto will all play live, and acclaimed director Chris Cunningham will deliver his audio-visual performance. Sonar have also locked down their official image for 2011, which as you can see on the right is the pop-art inspired Sonar For Sale. Artists already confirmed for this year's event include Underworld, M.I.A., Steve Reich and Paul Kalkbrenner.
