Battles The 4th SonarSound Tokyo event will take place on its scheduled dates of 2nd & 3rd April 2011 as planned.

Organisers will donate 25% of ticket sales from Sónar Barcelona and Sónar Galicia between 23 March and 1 April 2011 to the Japanese Red Cross.

The co-director of Sónar, Enric Palau said:

Sónar's relationship with Japan, its culture and artists has been very fruitful since the very beginning of the festival. Over its 18-year history, Sónar has featured more than 80 Japanese artists, and since 2002 our relationship with the country has been even closer as a result of SonarSound Tokyo. But perhaps the most important thing in this relationship between Sónar and Japan is the strong links of friendship that we have established with many artists. That is why we are deeply concerned about the tragedy that the country is experiencing and we would like to express our sincere good wishes and solidarity with the Japanese artistic community and to all the country's citizens who have been affected by the tragedy, and we would also like to express our admiration and respect for the Japanese people's strength of character and courage in the face of this terrible situation.

Battles, Flying Lotus and Kode 9 will all perform at the event taking place at ageHa / Studio Coast.
