We are Europe takes over Sónar

The Creative Europe-backed festival association will host talks, music showcases and mentoring sessions at the Barcelona event

Elevate festival's Bernhard Steirer will host a Meet the Expert session at Sónar 2016

We are Europe, a newly formed association of eight European music festivals, will have a major presence at Sónar in June.

Backed by the European Union’s Creative Europe programme, We Are Europe comprises c/o pop (Cologne) Elevate (Graz), Insomnia (Tromso), Nuits sonores (Lyons), Resonate (Belgrade), Reworks (Thessaloniki), TodaysArt (The Hague) and Sónar (Barcelona) and seeks to “mobilise the energy of eight European events” to support “European culture, high artistic standards, cultural innovation and creation”.

Reworks will form part of Sónar+D, Sónar’s tech/digital culture conference, and present ‘The Shock Waves of the Sonic Boom’, a debate on the differences and similarities between the electronic music markets in Europe and America. Festival director Anastasios Diolatzis will also be involved in the ‘Meet the Expert’ professional development programme.
