C2C Festival Returns to Turin with 21st Edition Focused on Avant-Pop

The C2C Festival (formerly Club To Club), Italy's largest indoor music festival, returns to Turin from November 2 to 5, 2023, across venues including OGR, Lingotto, and new locations Teatro Regio and Combo. The 21st edition, themed 'Mondo' (from the tarot card representing creativity), features headliners Caroline Polachek, Overmono, Bill Kouligas, Flying Lotus, and King Krule. Artistic director Sergio Ricciardone notes the festival now encompasses a broader creative spectrum beyond electronic music. New initiatives include C2C Talks (a daytime discussion series curated with Resident Advisor at Teatro Regio on November 4), C2C Kids (a youth-oriented program starting October 24 at Casa del Quartiere di San Salvario), and a collaboration with Exposed, Turin's upcoming photography festival (May 2–June 2, 2024). The festival also partners with Pinacoteca Agnelli for discounted access to Pista 500. Attendance is expected to exceed last year's 35,000, with 20–25% international visitors and 70% from outside the region. The event concludes on November 19 with a music lecture at Galleria Lunetta 11 in Alta Langa.
