For this special anniversary edition, Sónar Istanbul brings together two defining forces of contemporary electronic music. Eric Prydz, newly announced for 2026, and Charlotte de Witte, previously revealed, stand at the centre of the lineup. Prydz’s meticulously constructed, long-form approach bridges underground precision with large-scale immersion, while de Witte’s uncompromising, high-energy techno language continues to shape global dancefloors with physical intensity. Alongside them, Apparat and Polo & Pan add contrasting yet complementary dimensions to the programme. Apparat’s immersive, emotionally driven sound world moves between electronic composition and cinematic atmosphere, while Polo & Pan bring warmth and global rhythms to the dancefloor, creating collective, open-hearted moments built on movement and shared joy.

Stef Mendesidis delivers a high-precision live set alongside the experimental sonic landscapes of Novi_sad and the modular synthesis of Cora Novoa. The club energy of the weekend is bolstered by the encyclopedic house selections of Gerd Janson, the vibrant groove of LOVEFOXY, and a heavy-hitting, world-exclusive b2b set from CEM and SALOME. Together, these artists form a multi-layered programme that spans forward-thinking techno, immersive live works, and experimental sound practices, reflecting a long-standing commitment to discovery rather than fixed genre boundaries.

The newly announced names further reinforce Sónar’s commitment to avant-garde and technical experimentation. Laurel Halo & Julian Charrière present Midnight Zone live AV, a deep audiovisual experience merging music and moving image. Liam Young presents New Planetary Imaginaries, forging new connections between architecture, storytelling and moving image. Lady Starlight brings a high-voltage live performance powered by the raw techno energy of analog machines. Halina Rice live combines music, visuals and technology in an immersive performance, while Pleizel live delivers layered electronic soundscapes through a dynamic live set.

Beyond music, Sónar+D Istanbul once again takes a central role in the festival, presenting talks, performances and new formats that explore the future of creativity, technology and digital culture. The 2026 edition will introduce audiences to new collaborations and approaches that shed light on the future of cultural production. Celebrating its 10th year, Sónar Istanbul continues its mission as a meeting point for artists, audiences and ideas—honoring its past while helping shape the future.

All artists have been announced. Get your tickets now and see you at Zorlu PSM on April 10–11!

Garanti BBVA Genç Konserleri: Kyoto Jazz Massive + Çağan Tunalı & İlhan Erşahin As part of PSM Loves2Gather, at %100 Studio on April 17!

Legendary Kyoto Jazz Massive return with a brand-new EP to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their debut! This special project marks the group’s first and exclusive collaboration with the Echoes Of A New Dawn Orchestra. The EP features tracks that encapsulate Kyoto Jazz Massive’s 30-year musical journey with a contemporary and powerful narrative: “Power”, an awareness-raising track infused with gospel-tinged jazz-funk and French disco energy; “Impulsive Procession”, a multilayered piece blending Afro, funk, jazz, soul, rock, and electronic elements; “Love Wars”, which brings broken beat foundations together with a boogie feel and spiritual vocals, performed by a live band; “Stand Up”, re-recorded with a live-in-the-studio arrangement by EOANDO and fresh vocals from Vanessa Freeman; “EOANDO’s Theme”, carrying the Brazilian/Balearic-inspired boogie-funk spirit beloved by the Okino Brothers.

This special 30th anniversary project, where jazz, funk, disco, and crossover spirit converge, will come to life with Kyoto Jazz Massive’s unique performance at %100 Studio. Following Kyoto Jazz Massive’s set on April 17, Çağan Tunalı & İlhan Erşahin will also take the stage at %100 Studio, meeting the audience with their distinctive performances.

Garanti BBVA Genç Konserleri: Echoes of Prince & Ankara Echoes will take place on April 18 at %100 Studio, as part of PSM Loves2Gather!

With over a decade of powerful live performance experience across stages from Paris to London, Berlin to Zagreb and Monaco, Echoes Of stands out as one of the most respected collectives on the European funk scene.

The group is widely known for its original and highly popular tribute projects dedicated to the American funk heritage of the 1970s and 1980s: Echoes Of Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit, Dayton, Los Angeles, Miami, Philadelphia, and Washington. The pinnacle of these projects is “Funk & The City,” a residency that sells out every month at Paris’s legendary jazz club New Morning, and has become one of the band’s signature events.

Echoes Of also performs regularly at some of Europe’s most prestigious venues and events, including South London Soul Train Parties (Bussey Building, Omeara, Lafayette), Berlin Heideglühen, Zagreb Peti Kupe, and Monaco.

In addition, since 2019, the group has drawn major attention with its highly acclaimed Echoes Of Prince special tribute show. Echoes Of has also become an indispensable backing band for artists such as Howard Johnson, Junior Giscombe, and most recently Kyoto Jazz Massive. Together with Kyoto Jazz Massive, they tour and record under the name Echoes Of A New Dawn Orchestra.

Recently, Echoes Of has been focusing on their original music with a new project called Jéroboam. This powerful 12-member ensemble delivers the finest contemporary disco funk and rare groove, with releases on respected labels such as Space Grapes, Chuwanaga, and Favorite Recordings, carrying the spirit of legendary 70s and 80s funk bands into the present day.

Hailed as one of the most exciting funk projects of the last three years, Jéroboam promises a live experience that is both nostalgic and completely fresh.

The Ankara Echoes music collective, led by Mertkan Erkan, continues to make waves with its growing fan base and strong impact in a short time. Known for their powerful stage presence, intimate connection with the audience, and the unique atmosphere they create during live performances, the collective will meet listeners at Zorlu PSM on April 18, following Echoes of Prince.

Blending the rock spirit of the 1970s with today’s urban sound, Ankara Echoes goes beyond music at every concert, promising an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Sing-along crowds, performances that linger in conversations long after the show, and a steadily growing loyal audience define the collective, as they prepare to deliver a memorable night within the scope of PSM Loves2Gather.

Don’t miss this special night where rhythm, energy, and collective spirit come together on stage.

Garanti BBVA Genç Konserleri: Girls in Airports & Selût will take place on April 24 at %100 Studio, as part of PSM Loves2Gather!

Originating from Denmark and known for their immersive and transformative live performances, Girls in Airports is an original music collective whose instrumental sound moves freely between jazz, ambient, and folk traditions, while never fully belonging to any single genre. This distinctive sound is rooted in a long-standing collective production practice centered on curiosity, cultural openness, and the patient craft of making music together.

At the heart of the band lies a striking instrumentation: vintage keyboards, saxophone, and a rich palette of percussion inspired by rhythms from around the world. The warm, distinctive tone of Mathias Holm’s Wurlitzer, shaped through analog pedals, combines with Victor Dybbroe’s dynamic approach woven from global rhythms and textures, forming the living foundation of the music. Above this base, Martin Stender’s saxophone and compositions offer a spiritual narrative—at times calm and spacious, at other times energetic and open to improvisation.

Over more than a decade of touring across Europe and Asia, Girls in Airports has developed a rare language of collective creativity based on the bond within the group and their connection with the audience. Their concerts often feel less like a performance and more like a journey, inviting listeners to stay present and be drawn deeply into the music.

Recent collaborations include the Kvæði project with Teitur, in which they radically reinterpret traditional folk songs from the Faroe Islands, as well as a large-scale orchestral work with the Aarhus Jazz Orchestra. Their latest album, Imaginal, recorded in close collaboration with string trio Halvcirkel, further expands the band’s sonic universe and promises a unique and profound live experience.

Multidisciplinary artist Selût, who produces both music and visual illustrations, stands out with experimental stage designs that integrate her own visual world into her work. Blending ambient, acoustic, jazz, and world music with powerful vocals, Selût creates performances that exist at the intersection of sound and image.

On April 24, Selût will take the stage at %100 Studio ahead of Girls in Airports, featuring hologram and live tracking technologies. Having previously pushed the boundaries of her stage practice with a full-body live tracking performance at Zorlu PSM’s MIX Festival, the artist continues her production based in London while regularly traveling to Istanbul for projects and performances. Selût’s stage is shaped by a creative team composed predominantly of strong women, spanning the process from production to live performance.

Garanti BBVA Genç Konserleri: The Roop & Nova Norda as part of PSM Loves2Gather, at %100 Studio on May 2!

Rising stars of the Lithuanian pop scene, THE ROOP reshape mainstream pop in unexpected ways. Blending catchy dance-pop melodies with emotional depth and a strong visual identity, the band has quickly become one of the most exciting names in European pop thanks to their layered, modern sound. With numerous awards and a rapidly growing international fan base, THE ROOP are also known for their highly impressive, energetic, and big-stage-ready live performances. Most recently, they once again proved their power by opening for Ed Sheeran’s 2024 stadium tour.

THE ROOP made their international breakthrough with “On Fire,” one of the favorites of Eurovision 2020, dominating charts and alternative competitions across Europe. Returning to the contest in 2021 with “Discoteque,” the band placed 8th in the grand final, bringing their distinctive, genre-blending pop approach to an even wider global audience.

Entering a new era with their 2025 album Momentum, THE ROOP present a more mature and deeper sound. The lead single “Steal Me” stands out with its sleek synth-pop lines and romantic tension, while “Chica Chico” transforms into a joyful celebration filled with Spanish rhythms. The third single, “Just Think About It,” offers a darker, more introspective narrative that explores the struggle to remain human in the digital age.

With their powerful visuals, contemporary pop vision, and magnetic stage energy, THE ROOP continue to push the boundaries of pop music without ever losing the rhythm. This special performance at %100 Studio invites the audience to both dance and embark on an emotional journey.

Opening the night on May 2, Nova Norda, the sincere voice of alternative pop, will transform personal stories of transformation into a collective live experience before The Roop takes the stage. In a performance where vulnerability turns into strength and every word grows larger as it merges with the audience, beloved songs such as “Varım,” “Dinozorlar,” and “Beteri Yok Uslanmaktan” will turn the crowd into a single voice. On Nova’s energetic stage, let go of all your burdens and enjoy the freedom of dancing without restraint.

British alternative rock band Bôa takes the stage at Turkcell Stage on May 9, 2026!

Rising to prominence in 1998 with their breakout single “Duvet”, which became one of the defining tracks of the Japanese cult anime Serial Experiments Lain, Bôa reached wide audiences early in their career. Decades later, when “Duvet” was rediscovered on TikTok, the song resonated with millions once again. Today, with over 450 million streams on Spotify alone, “Duvet” has inspired Bôa to return to the studio and create new music for the first time in 20 years.

Their upcoming album Whiplash, out October 18 on Nettwerk, is a collection of melody-driven narratives. Its title reflects both personal highs and lows as well as the turbulence of our cultural moment, while also offering an invitation to community, resilience, and solace.

Blending nostalgia with fresh new sounds, Bôa bridges generations — bringing together longtime fans who grew up with “Duvet” and a new wave of listeners who discovered the band through TikTok. On May 9, they’ll unite both audiences live at Zorlu PAC.

Garanti BBVA Genç Konserleri: Silvana Estrada – Vendrán Suaves Lluvias & Gülinler As part of PSM Loves2Gather, at %100 Studio on May 15!

Touching the hearts of listeners around the world, Silvana Estrada transforms themes of personal loss, healing, and rebirth into a deeply immersive musical journey with her new album Vendrán Suaves Lluvias. Following her critically acclaimed 2022 release Marchita, which earned her the Latin Grammy Award for Best New Artist, Estrada created this album during a period marked by profound losses and inner fractures after intense touring and major success.

Taking its name from a poetic line meaning “Soft Rains Will Come,” the album enriches its indie-folk foundation with touches of jazz, tropicália, minimalist classical music, and Latin influences. Fully self-produced by Estrada, the album creates a safe and intimate space for the listener through songs that move between anger, grief, vulnerability, and hope. Recorded with longtime collaborators as well as Oscar-nominated composer Owen Pallett and a select group of Montreal-based musicians, the album carries both emotional and cinematic depth.

With Silvana Estrada’s unique vocals and poetic songwriting, Vendrán Suaves Lluvias offers an elegant yet powerful narrative—one that passes through loss but ultimately ends in hope. This special work invites listeners to slow down, feel deeply, and reconnect with the healing power of music.

Following Silvana Estrada’s performance at %100 Studio on May 15, Gülinler will take the stage. For nearly fifteen years, Gülinler has continued to compose, perform concerts, and tour with Büyük Ev Ablukada. During the same period, she also co-founded the short-lived duo heranherşeyolabilir, and has appeared as one of the “angel” backing vocalists on two albums by Ari Barokas.

Don’t miss the performance of this multifaceted artist, who composes music, sings, and dances in various theater productions.

PSM Loves Summer by %100 Müzik: Moby on June 29 at Turkcell Stage!

Born as Richard Melville Hall in 1965 in Harlem, New York, Moby received his nickname just ten minutes after his birth, given by his father due to their family’s ancestral connection to Herman Melville. He began classical music training and studying music theory at the age of nine, and in the early 1980s he shaped his musical identity within the punk rock scene in and around New York.

His first single, “Go,” released in 1991, was named one of the greatest recordings of all time by Rolling Stone magazine. Since then, he has continued releasing albums, reaching over 20 million album sales worldwide.

In addition to his own work, Moby has produced and remixed for a diverse range of artists including David Bowie, Public Enemy, Ozzy Osbourne, The Beastie Boys, and Daft Punk. He also supports numerous non-profit organizations such as The Humane Society, Emily’s List, The ACLU, and The Institute for Music and Neurologic Function.

The artist is also the founder of Little Walnut, a company active in film and television production. Among its award-winning works are Moby Doc and Punk Rock Vegan Movie, while its first narrative feature film, “Tecie,” is planned for release in the summer of 2026.

Garbage is coming to Turkcell Stage on July 3 with the contributions of %100 Müzik!

Blending shimmering electronic pop with Shirley Manson’s emotive vocals, the rock band Garbage arrives at Zorlu PSM with their most fragile and wide-horizon album to date, Let All That We Imagine Be The Light.

The album moves from individual experiences toward a collective emotional space. Themes of love, solidarity, aging, loss, and standing back up again are explored from both personal and universal perspectives. As Shirley puts it, “We are all moving toward the same end; the question is how we choose to live this journey with meaning and joy.”

At the heart of the album lies the collective spirit the band calls “The Octopus”—like interconnected limbs reaching in different directions, yet belonging to the same body. The album cover visually reflects this idea.

Musically, the album is filled with dark basslines, hard-hitting guitar riffs, and cinematic atmospheres. Rich in storytelling, it is dramatic and deeply layered. Tracks such as Have We Met (The Void), Chinese Fire Horse, Sisyphus, and Radical draw from memories, inner prayers, and calls dedicated to what has been suppressed. To experience this album—an embodiment of Garbage’s refusal to repeat themselves—reserve your place now!

PSM Loves Summer by %100 Müzik: Sex Pistols ft. Frank Carter at Turkcell Stage on July 25!

One of the most explosive and influential bands in punk history, Sex Pistols, returns to the stage with new frontman Frank Carter. Now performing as Sex Pistols Featuring Frank Carter, the band is touring the world this year alongside guitarist Steve Jones, drummer Paul Cook, and bassist Glen Matlock. Carrying the rebellious spirit of the Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols era into the present day, the band goes beyond nostalgia to deliver a powerful and high-energy live experience that speaks directly to today’s world. When Carter’s commanding stage presence meets the band’s raw, unfiltered sound, the result is pure punk chaos.

Nearly 50 years on, this music has lost none of its impact—now louder, fiercer, and more uncompromising than ever. Don’t miss your chance to witness this legendary comeback live.
