Besides the concerts, there were a number of lectures, discussion panels, exhibitions of interactive arts, sessions with charismatic DJs, spaces with sales stands, rooms equipped with CD-ROM players, CDI, video, and audio, so as to allow all visitors to see and / or listen to works according to their own selections. Sonar also had a remarkable presence within Internet. With respect to the performances given by the different musicians taking part in the event, the most remarkable one was by Kraftwerk. In previous editions, Sonar has included live performances by Neuronium, Orbital, Holger Czukay, Sven Vath, Albert Giménez (an ex-member of Neuronium), Finis Africae, Suso Saiz, Iury Lech, El Sueño de Hyparco, Jorge Reyes, Macromassa, Fangoria and others.
