And as has become tradition, it kicks off the first day with Sónar by Day at the Fira de Montjuïc with a line-up that includes the return of one of the most-anticipated acts in the history of the festival, which has left audiences wanting more every year since it started up in 2014.

Tom Rowlands i Ed Simons són The Chemical Brothers, un dels duos de música electrònica més cèlebres d’aquests darrers vint-i-cinc anys. Amb Fatboy Slim, Propellerheads, Prodigy o The Crystal Method, van inventar el big beat, l’estil que els va convertir en referents mundials de l’electrònica, amb el seu còctel irresistible de techno, electro, rave i pop, tan lligat al passat de clubs del seu Manchester natal. En la seva nova visita a Barcelona defensaran el seu últim disc, ‘Born in the Echoes’ (2015), amb un espectacle ple de llums i hits. Estaran acompanyats del 2manyDjs.
