At the top of the bill are two of electronic music’s most iconic acts.
The Chemical Brothers will bring a high-octane DJ set spanning three decades of dance music, while Richie Hawtin presents DEX EFX X0X — a raw, hardware-driven live performance that debuted to acclaim at Sónar Barcelona 2024.
Among the most creative forces in contemporary electronic music, Jamie xx makes his long-awaited Istanbul debut. A founding member of The xx, and the mind behind the Mercury Prize-winning xx album and his celebrated solo work In Colour, Jamie xx has also produced for artists such as Florence + the Machine, Drake, Adele, and Alicia Keys. His genre-defying sets blend emotional depth and rhythmic precision — promising an unforgettable night at Sónar Istanbul.
They are joined by an eclectic lineup of bold, genre-defining talents.
Actress brings an avant-garde edge to the program, while plus44Kaligula infuses performance with a dark, theatrical twist. Audiovisual projects take center stage, including Sara Persico & Mika Oki’s haunting Sphâira, and Grand River & Abul Mogard’s expansive ambient performance In uno spazio immenso.
Look forward to high-energy live sets from Jersey and Marie Davidson, and explosive DJ performances from Modeselektor and Kettama b2b Special Request. BASHKKA returns to the city with her underground energy, while rising stars like Emerald, Jamie S, BUSSI, and genre-defying Japanese DJ ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U take over the decks.
Istanbul’s own Evrim de Evrim b2b Ece Özel will take the stage with a powerful B2B set, and Gaia Ekho will debut a new hybrid performance.
