10.11 April 2026 | Zorlu PSM | Supported by 100% MüzikSónar Istanbul returns to Zorlu PSM on 10th and 11th April 2026 to celebrate its landmark 10th anniversary, marking a decade of sound, culture, and experimentation at the intersection of music, innovation, and creativity. 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. The newly announced lineup further emphasises Sónar’s commitment to the avant-garde and the technical. 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. Beyond the music, Sónar+D Istanbul will once again play a central role in the festival, presenting talks, performances, and new formats exploring the future of creativity, technology, and digital culture. The 2026 edition will introduce new collaborations and approaches that look towards the future of cultural production. As it celebrates its 10th edition, Sónar Istanbul continues to act as a meeting point for artists, audiences, and ideas, honouring its past while actively shaping what comes next. More artists and programme details will be announced soon.
