- The Spanish festival will bring the Barcelona party spirit to London's Roundhouse in May.
- Jeff Mills is set to headline Sónar's UK warm-up party at The Roundhouse in May. The Detroit don will be performing his "The Trip" show, which sees him soundtracking a selection of scenes from classic science fiction movies. Erol Alkan also has something special up his sleeve for the event: He'll be unveiling his Disco 3000 project in the live arena for the first time. Expect plenty of exclusive edits of obscure disco from Alkan, with Moderat set to provide support. Radio 1's Mary Anne Hobbs will be hosting the second room, with a heavily dubstep focused line-up. Tectonic owner Pinch will headline, with other sets coming from Hyperdub's Ikonika, Bullion and Hobbs herself. Most of these acts will be at the actual Sónar festival in June, but Jeff Mills fans may want to check out his show, seeing as it's only the second time that he has ever performed it.
