Want Sonar to last all year round as opposed to just three days in late June? Got a computer? Sorted!

Sonar Radio will broadcast 365 days a year, presenting exclusive tasters of new albums and singles by the festival’s headliners and less well-known acts alike.

The radio player will also feature themed one-hour sessions from labels present at Sónar 2008: Ed Banger Records, Ninja Tune and Minus.

Throughout the festival, listeners will have a direct link to the performances as they take place so even if you are stuck at home in front of your computer, you will at least have the sweet sounds of Sonar in your ears.
