Sónar Lisbon 2025: Projecting the best of Lisbon to the world and vice-versa

The festival will return to Parque Eduardo VII on 11, 12 and 13 April 2025, with the Pavilhão Carlos Lopes hosting the programmes of both Sónar by Day and Sónar by Night.

Sónar Lisbon continues to establish itself as a bridge between local and global electronic music. With 43 performances, the music event combines big names, local showcases and emerging artists, projecting the best of Lisbon to the world and vice versa.

Icons of the present and future in the line-up

Legendary duo Underworld lead the bill with the freshness of their new album Strawberry Hotel, while Richie Hawtin redefines minimal techno with his immersive DEX EFX X0X show. They are joined by big names such as Nina Kraviz, Marcel Dettmann with his enigmatic My Own Shadow show, Modeselektor and Jennifer Cardini, among others.

The soul of Lisbon: stages and local collectives

The historic Pavilhão Carlos Lopes, in the heart of Parque Eduardo VII, will be the epicentre of the festival. Its spaces will host from club marathons at Sónar by Night to live shows in the middle of nature during the day. But the local prominence goes beyond the venues: collectives such as Príncipe x TraTraTrax, Enchufada and Dengo Club bring the unique identity of the Lisbon scene.

Global beats and unexpected connections

Artists such as Amor Satyr & Siu Mata, Clementaum and King Kami promise electrifying sets ranging from speed dembow to jungle. In addition, Lisbon will share with Sónar Barcelona exclusives such as Max Cooper and The Hakke Show by Gabber Eleganza.

Looking to the future of clubbing

The likes of KI/KI, Hector Oaks and Juliana Huxtable are redefining techno and trance, while Dee Diggs and Josh Caffé celebrate the queer roots of house. Representing local talent, Sheri Vari and Telma bring unique visions to the scene.

Beyond music: Sónar+D

Sónar+D will return with a programme that explores the intersection between creativity, technology and innovation, reaffirming Sónar‘s cultural relevance beyond the dance floor.

In April, Lisbon will be the place where the past, present and future of clubbing converge, with a line-up that promises to mark a before and after in the scene. Ready for the trip? Get your day ticket or full festival pass now by clicking here.
