C2C Club To Club Festival (Turin, Italy) 2026

C2C Festival returns to Turin from 29 October to 1 November 2026, marking twenty five years since it began as Club To Club in the early 2000s. The previous edition drew 42,000 people with a record 40 per cent travelling from outside Italy, and Pitchfork has called it the ne plus ultra of avant-garde eclecticism, which is a fair description of a festival that has never settled into a genre.

The anniversary bill is substantial. Robyn, Arca, The Avalanches, Kelela, Oklou, Shygirl, Kode9 with RP Boo, Grouper, KMRU, Carl Stone, Marina Herlop, ML Buch, Crystallmess, Chuquimamani-Condori presenting DJ E, Elias Ronnenfelt, Joanne Robertson, Chanel Beads, Headache, LIIM and gyrofield all appear. The Marina Herlop, ML Buch and Smerz shows are co-produced with MITO SettembreMusica and the Carl Stone performance with To Listen To.

Venues matter here. The Lingotto Fiere, the former Fiat factory with the test track on its roof, hosts the Friday and Saturday, while OGR Torino, a converted railway workshop, takes the Thursday and Sunday. For the anniversary the festival returns to the Teatro Carignano, a baroque theatre it last used eleven years ago and where Kode9 premiered Kode9 plays Burial in 2010. The festival also debuts at the Barbican in London with a Smerz show on 15 October. It is the Italian music festival that leads from the front.
