Autechre, two Italian dates in October. MDX and Bochum Welt on opening duties

On Sunday, October 11, 2026, Autechre will return to the Alcatraz in Milan for one of two Italian dates on their twentytwentysix tour. The British duo made up of Sean Booth and Rob Brown, among the most influential and radical names in electronic music of the last thirty years, will have MDX and Bochum Welt as opening acts.
After an intense stretch of live activity throughout 2025, with numerous sold-out shows, Autechre are back on tour in 2026: having kicked off the year in Japan, between September and October they take on a new European tour, which also includes the biggest headline show of their career, set to take place in London. In Italy they'll play two shows: October 10 at the Estragon in Bologna, as part of the roBOt Festival, and October 11 at the Alcatraz in Milan. Their live shows traditionally take place in complete darkness: a deliberate artistic choice that strips away every visual element and focuses the experience entirely on sound and its physical dimension.

Active since 1987, Autechre have built, over nearly forty years of career, one of the most radical trajectories in contemporary electronic music. Their sonic research has moved through different territories, from the techno, electro and hip hop roots of their early days to the increasingly experimental compositions that have defined their later work.
Opening both Italian dates will be MDX and Bochum Welt. MDX, the project of Andy Maddocks, founder of the historic Manchester label Skam Records, will perform a DJ set. Bochum Welt, the project of composer and producer Gianluigi Di Costanzo, will play a live set. Tied to Aphex Twin's Rephlex Records since his earliest days, Di Costanzo has released eight albums with the label.
