Arca and Kode9 among the new announcements for C2C Festival 2026, with the Day By Day schedule also released

After a triumphant landing in New York, C2C Festival returns to focus on its flagship edition, announcing 22 new artists joining the main Turin programme, which will run from Thursday 29 October to Sunday 1 November 2026. To celebrate its twenty-fifth anniversary, C2C Festival is bringing the Teatro Carignano back into its fold after eleven years, and is further expanding its footprint with a first-ever stop at London's Barbican Centre, one of Europe's most prestigious cultural institutions, with a date set for Thursday 15 October, during Frieze London Week.

Also announced is the part of the programme hosted on Thursday and Sunday at OGR Torino, featuring eight international artists. In keeping with the Festival's inclusive spirit and its longstanding commitment to accessibility, Super Early Bird tickets for the OGR Torino evenings are available at just €15, an exceptionally low price compared to major European events in the field. The sales campaign, launched last October, is posting record numbers: 75% of tickets have already been sold, with international audiences accounting for over 53% and under-35s making up 83% of buyers.

C2C Festival marks its twenty-fifth year by once again championing tension and cross-genre range, bringing new pop, electronic, rap, jazz, folk and R&B to its line-up. Having already unveiled its packed programme, which includes exclusive shows from Yung Lean & Bladee, Robyn, Kelela, Oklou and underscores, C2C Festival is expanding its line-up with further shows: The Avalanches, Shygirl, Smerz, HEADACHE, Grouper, Wendy Eisenberg, Visible Cloaks, ML Buch, Marina Herlop, Kode9 & RP Boo, LIIM, Elias Rønnenfelt, Anelena Toku & Carla Boregas presents Fronte Violeta, Bladeblanc & Giesse, Carl Stone, Eli Wewentxu, Fake Samo, NEXUS [Jokkoo Collective], Talpah.

The open call for C2C Curators is also still open: the new free training and professional development programme aimed at the next generation of cultural curators in the music field, which will culminate in a series of activities to be revealed in the coming weeks. The project is dedicated to the memory of Sergio Ricciardone, the festival's founder and a pivotal figure in redefining the role of the contemporary music promoter. The call is open to young curators resident in Italy until Saturday 13 June. For more information: C2C Curators.
