Returning for its 16th edition from 9-11 October, ROBOT Festival is set to take over multiple venues and areas throughout Bologna.
Held each autumn in Bologna, Italy, ROBOT Festival spills out into repurposed industrial spaces, baroque halls, and ancient alleys, transforming the city into a landscape of sonic experimentation.
This year, ROBOT will open with a preview show on 27 September, followed by the main festival from 9-11 October. For its 2025 edition, the festival will explore the theme of ‘Dream On’ and focus on the liberating and utopian powers of dreaming.
Highlights from the first wave of artists include Nine Inch Nails collaborator Alessandro Cortini performing an A/V version of his album NATI INFINITI and Brooklyn-based DJ Haram performing her recently released debut album Beside Myself.
Other highlights include Rainy Miller, Ela Minus, Lorenzo Senni, and Rival Consoles, who will play his new album, Erased Tapes, and an Italian debut from Zoë McPherson and Alessandra Leone. DJ sets from Apparat, Sama’ Abdulhadi, Acid Arab, and Retro Cassetta are also on the bill, with more names to be announced soon.
Tickets are available via the ROBOT Festival website.
