C2C Festival has just announced the addition of ten new international names to its 2025 lineup, reinforcing its reputation as one of the world’s leading avant-pop music events. The new additions include Floating Points, Blawan, Billy Woods, Smerz, Maria Somerville, Los Thuthanaka, Barker, Mechatok, Annahstasia, and Kelman Duran, all set to deliver exclusive performances this autumn in Turin from October 30 to November 2.
The 23rd edition of the festival, dedicated to the theme Per Aspera Ad Astra, will be a tribute to late co-founder Sergio Ricciardone. Coinciding with Turin’s Contemporary Art Week, the festival is expected to welcome over 40,000 international attendees. C2C returns to its iconic venues, OGR Torino and Lingotto Fiere, offering a bold mix of experimental sounds, electronic innovation, and boundary-pushing live shows. Thursday and Sunday will unfold at the historic OGR, while Friday and Saturday’s major acts take over Lingotto Fiere, with the Stone Island Stage again spotlighting radical electronic performances.
Among the latest announcements, Floating Points will headline with a special DJ set, while Kelman Duran brings his signature ambient-reggaeton fusion to the OGR stage. Saturday sees the Italian debut of Los Thuthanaka, whose sound blends indigenous roots with digital experimentation, and Annahstasia, whose genre-defying debut album Tether merges soul, folk, and rock.
Other highlights include Billy Woods’ thought-provoking rap, Maria Somerville’s dream-pop soundscapes, and Barker’s futuristic techno. Mechatok, known for collaborations with Bladee and Ecco2k, will also take the stage with new material from his upcoming debut album.
