10 YEARS IN ISTANBUL
For a decade, Sónar Istanbul has stood at the crossroads of continents, sounds, and ideas—broadcasting new frequencies from the heart of the city.
Sónar Istanbul has announced the first artist to perform for its 10th anniversary: Charlotte de Witte!
One of the most prominent names on the global techno scene.
In 2026, we celebrate 10 years of exploration, experimentation, and collective energy. On 10–11 April, Sónar returns to Zorlu PSM with a special anniversary edition presented with the support of %100 Müzik. The first announced artist is Charlotte de Witte, one of the most powerful and defining figures in contemporary electronic music.
This year’s festival looks back at a decade of boundary-pushing performances while pointing firmly towards the future: new formats, new collaborations, and new voices shaping tomorrow’s electronic and digital culture.
Across two days and nights, Sónar Istanbul will once again bring together pioneering artists, innovative thinkers, and the creative communities that have defined its past ten years. Expect unexpected encounters, immersive sound and visual worlds, and the unique hybrid spirit that has made Sónar Istanbul a landmark in the city’s cultural landscape.
Line-up to be announced soon.
