“A Taste of Sonar” comes to Osaka
The Japan edition of Sonar Sound will be taking place in Tokyo, but this year, folks further west will be given a treat as an abridged version of the concert will be flanking the Tokyo weekend festivities. The main event will be taking place on the weekend of April 6-7, with the first night of “A Taste of Sonar” set to take place at Universe on the 5th. The second leg will be at Umeda Club Quattro on Monday the 8th. The “Taste of Sonar” event had only previously occurred in London, so it’s a pretty nice treat for electronic music fans in Japan. The ticket price for the first night has yet to be determined, but for the second night the advanced ticket price has been set at 5,800 yen. Here are the preliminary lineups for each night:
4/5 Fri @Universe (open: 18:00)
