The artists that'll warm you up for SMS Festival

SonneMondeSterne Festival (SMS) has been offering up a fierce array of electronic music since its humble beginnings as a 2,500 capcity event when it started back in 1997.

Since then the likes of Sven Väth, DJ Koze, Faithless, Laurent Garnier, The Chemical Brothers and Swedish House Mafia have all played the German festival held in Thuringia at the Bleilochtalsperre near Saalburg-Ebersdorf.

This year we're heading to festival with Smirnoff Sound Collective for a series of streams from our Smirnoff House stage. We've gathered together the artists you need to hear before you make the journey to the festival. Time to get your fists in the pump position.

If you missed The Chemical Brothers outrageous new live show at Sonar and Glastonbury then make sure you catch it at SMS. Huge new tracks and even bigger visuals. This is a must see.
