Scoop up all the new beats. Original image: Kenn Brown for 'Soundproof'


If you still haven't checked out Sonar, Barcelona's International Festival of Advanced Music and Multi-Media Art, your time has come.

This year, Sonar turns 10. And it's not going to do so quietly.

40-90% off at Designer Sale UK. Samples and new ranges. from D&G, Fake London, Armani and others. 11am-9pm. Studio 95, 95A Brick Lane, E1. £2 admission.

Prefer old skool to nu Sonar? Retro_vert hosts their last free event at The Rocket tonight - all night. 10pm-6am. 166 Holloway Rd, N7. Free with invite from website.

Sonar is three days and three nights of pure musical bliss. 300 activities staged over six arenas by day and three at night, inside and out. A big kid's Disneyland if you will.

Too old for festivals you say? Not this one. Toss images of glow-sticks and mud guards aside - Sonar is in a class of its own. Think Mediterranean sunshine, first-rate eye candy and blissful beats...

And oh what beats they are. Bip-Hop and Galactic hip-hop, spaced-out pop and digital funk. There's even a Norwegian Miles Davis up to bat. If you love music and could do with a little vay-cay, then come June 12-16, there's nowhere else you should be.

And if you still need to sample before you can commit, check out Sonar London tonight for a taste of what it's all about.

Sonar London @ Ocean Club
270 Mare Street, E8 - 020 7314 2800
