Animal Collective are coming to Sónar for the first of one of the few concerts they will be performing in Europe this summer. Their concert will kick off Saturday night at SonarClub, before Orbital's show on the same stage. Animal Collective are a key group of the first decade of the twenty-first century, and one of the most admired and highly-praised musical projects of recent years. They have recently raised their profile among a wider audience with their latest album, "Merriweather Post Pavillion". They have achieved this without compromising their artistic approach in the slightest, and followed the trail they blazed with the equally excellent “Strawberry Jam”, winning over both listeners and the specialist press all over the world.
