C2C Festival 2025: An Announcement That Redefines the Future of Music and Contemporary Culture
“Per aspera ad astra” (Through hardships to the stars) is the theme of the 23rd edition, paying tribute to Sergio Ricciardone, Founder and Director of C2C Festival, who passed away three weeks ago. C2C Festival 2025 is dedicated to him, a pivotal figure in the history and evolution of the festival. This new edition continues to surprise and inspire, pushing the boundaries of sound, performance, and cultural innovation. With the official announcement, the festival is once again set to transform Turin into a hub of creativity and experimentation.
Following the success of previous editions, C2C Festival reaffirms its identity as one of the most anticipated events for electronic music and performance art enthusiasts. Iconic venues across the city, such as OGR Torino and Lingotto Fiere, will host visionary artists, offering an unprecedented immersive experience.
Once again, C2C Festival brings to Italy a selection of artists who challenge conventions, exploring new sonic and performative languages. Here is the confirmed lineup for Friday, October 31, and Saturday, November 1: Blood Orange returns to Europe after six years: Devonté Hynes’ project, known for its versatility across R&B, pop, and electronic music, will enrich C2C Festival. Alongside him, Four Tet, a master of electronic music, and Nicolas Jaar, performing with Ali Sethi in a show dedicated to ghazal poetry.
Among the most anticipated names, A. G. Cook presents a new audiovisual show following his success at the 2025 BRIT Awards, while Ecco2k brings his hyperpop aesthetic. On the Italian front, IOSONOUNCANE and Daniela Pes debut live together, celebrating experimentation and songwriting.
Exclusive debuts also include Saya Gray and Nourished By Time, while John Maus and Model/Actriz promise intense performances. Mabe Fratti returns with Titanic, a project blending jazz and chamber pop, while Djrum and Skee Mask push the boundaries of DJing.
The opening event will feature Daniel Blumberg, recent Academy Award winner for The Brutalist, in an exclusive performance for Italy.
C2C Festival is more than just a music event—it is a project that embraces art, technology, and social reflection. Collaborations with cultural institutions, innovative brands, and independent entities create a unique platform where music and critical thought merge to generate new visions of the future.
