Johannesburg (SA) - September 13, 2012 - Today Die Antwoord announces that they will be heading out on the first ever Sonar On Tour. The band will be joined by Azari & III, Seth Troxler, Paul Kalkbrenner, Tiga, Gesaffelstein and Nic Fanciulli. The eight city trek will be the first time Sonar, Barcelona's international festival of advanced music and new media art, has done a full tour anywhere in the world.



Die Antwoord is currently gearing up to get back out on the road in support of their latest album TEN$ION (ZEF Recordz/Downtown/COOP), which Sonar calls "a performance that shatters hip-hop and the rave spirit to smithereens and puts them back together according to Die Antwoord's own formula."



Prior to Sonar, the band will be hitting the road for select dates throughout October, including the ACL Festival and Voodoo Festival. See below for a full list of dates.


Sonar was established as an annual festival in Barcelona in June 1994. Its founding principle was to blend artistry with entertainment, celebrate the avant-garde and experimentation, and to explore the boundaries of electronic music and its cultural iterations. Sonar On Tour will present artists challenging and expanding what dance music can be. Eschewing bubble-gum EDM, the artists joining Sonar On Tour are uncompromising in their vision for what people can dance to. They are innovators capable of creating some of the dancefloor's most sublime and transcendent moments. To read more about Sonar On Tour please visit http://www.sonarontour.com/.
Die Antwoord came together in 2008 in South Africa and consists of Ninja, Yo-Landi Vi$$er, and DJ Hi-Tek. Their debut album, $O$, was first made available February 2010 as a free download on their official website, and the band launched their first music videos, "Enter the Ninja" and "Zefside" on DIEANTWOORD.COM<http://DIEANTWOORD.COM>.
TEN$ION was recorded and produced in South Africa by DJ Hi-Tek with additional production by Ninja. TEN$ION is presented by ZEF Recordz and distributed globally by Downtown Records and COOP Music.
