Road to Outloud Festival / 2025

Bringing new generation of talent to Torino, Italy.

Turin is set to enter a new chapter in its electronic music scene: on September 20, 2025, OUTLOUD Festival will make its debut, born from the collaboration between the Turin-based collective Outcast and the international entity Loud-Contact. This partnership will bring six stages and over forty artists to the Bunker, featuring both clubbing legends and the new generation of talents.

On September 20, 2025, Turin will host the debut of a new electronic music event: the first edition of OUTLOUD Festival, born from the collaboration between two leading forces in the European scene, Outcast Torino and Loud-Contact.

The festival’s name reflects its dual nature: a play on words that combines the two organizing entities while also serving as a programmatic manifesto. OUTLOUD literally means “out loud”: an invitation to experience music directly, intensely, and collectively.

The lineup speaks for itself: six stages and over forty artists, including both global icons and emerging talents. From clubbing legends such as Jeff Mills, Ricardo Villalobos, Kittin, Dr Rubinstein, Anthony Rother, to key figures of the contemporary scene like Onur Özer, Francesco Del Garda, Christian AB, Raresh and Cem3340. They are joined by artists representing the future of the scene, including Alexia Glensy, Cristian Sarde, Munir Nadir, Lorenzo Aribone, Gabbs, and many others, creating a continuous dialogue between the international dimension and emerging Italian voices.

OUTLOUD emerges from the meeting of two different but complementary paths. On one side, Outcast, a Turin-based collective founded over ten years ago, which has helped grow the city’s underground electronic scene and bring it to international stages, always emphasizing quality and community building. On the other side, Loud-Contact, a Barcelona-based organization known for flagship events such as OFF Week and Amsterdam Dance Event, bringing its musical curatorship to some of Europe’s most prestigious venues. Together, they create a new format that combines local roots with global reach.

The festival will take place at Bunker, a symbolic space of urban regeneration in Turin. Born from the restoration of the former SICMA industrial complex and the Vanchiglia railway area, it has evolved over the years from a disused industrial site into a multifunctional cultural hub, blending clubbing, art, sports, nature, and social interaction.Today, Bunker is considered a true metropolitan laboratory and represents the ideal setting for a festival that makes cross-pollination its defining feature.

With the debut of OUTLOUD, Turin reaffirms its central role in the Italian and European electronic music scene, opening the doors to an experience that unites masters and emerging talents, urban context and international vision, under the banner of music and its collective power.
