The festival continues to position itself at the forefront of experimental and electronic music culture in Italy, showcasing a lineup that balances legendary figures with emerging talents. For anyone planning to attend, understanding the festival&#8217;s unique structure, with events spread across different dates and locations, is essential for navigating the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00c0 quoi s\u2019attendre en 2026<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2026 edition of ROBOT Festival, titled &#8220;?Syntax Error,&#8221; invites attendees to reflect on the disruptions and glitches of contemporary language and communication. The curatorial concept suggests that true listening begins when communication breaks down, offering a stimulating intellectual framework for the auditory experiences on offer. The festival continues its tradition of occupying unconventional spaces, from the archaeological ruins of Kainua to the sprawling DumBO district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Attendees can expect a program that spans live audiovisual performances, DJ sets, hybrid acts, and experimental electronic music across multiple genres. The lineup features a mix of established pioneers like Autechre and Moodymann alongside boundary-pushing contemporary artists such as Actress, Marina Herlop, and Mykki Blanco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The festival is structured across several distinct dates rather than a single continuous weekend. The September dates serve as an opening phase with events at Palazzo Re Enzo and an archaeological park preview. The October dates constitute the main festival period, concentrated at DumBO and the Ex Ospedale dei Bastardini, with a major headlining performance at Estragon Club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dates des \u00e9v\u00e9nements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The festival unfolds across the following dates in 2026:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>13 September<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>25 September<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>27 September<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>8 &#8211; 10 October<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The September events function as a prelude and preview phase, while the October dates (8-10) represent the core festival experience with the most extensive programming.

This multi-site approach is central to the festival&#8217;s identity, encouraging attendees to explore different corners of the city and its cultural heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bastardini (Ex Ospedale dei Bastardini)<\/strong>&nbsp;serves as a key October venue for intimate and experimental performances. Located at Via d&#8217;Azeglio 45, this former hospital provides a historic and atmospheric setting for the festival&#8217;s more introspective acts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>DumBO<\/strong>&nbsp;is the central hub for the main festival nights on October 9 and 10. Located at Via Camillo Casarini 19, this former railway yard and industrial district hosts the largest portion of the lineup across multiple stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Estragon<\/strong>&nbsp;hosts the festival&#8217;s largest-scale event on October 10. Located at Via Stalingrado 83, this renowned Bologna music venue provides the capacity and technical infrastructure required for a headline performance of Autechre&#8217;s caliber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>MAST.Auditorium<\/strong>&nbsp;appears in the festival&#8217;s venue listings, indicating a space for perhaps lectures, screenings, or specialized audiovisual presentations connected to the festival&#8217;s digital arts component.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Palazzo Re Enzo<\/strong>&nbsp;hosts the September 25 event. Located in Piazza del Nettuno in the heart of Bologna, this medieval palace provides a striking historic setting for a lineup featuring Sam Ruffillo and Carla Dal Forno.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Parco Archeologico di Kainua &#8211; Marzabotto<\/strong>&nbsp;serves as the site for the September 13 opening event.

The legendary UK electronic duo&#8217;s appearance at a venue of this scale represents a significant moment for the festival, which has chosen Estragon specifically to accommodate an event of this magnitude. Their performance is scheduled for a 21:00 start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moodymann\u00a0brings Detroit house and techno heritage to the festival, performing as a DJ across the October dates. His presence adds a crucial historical throughline to the lineup, connecting contemporary experimental practices to the foundational Black American electronic music traditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Actress presents Radical Frame\u00a0offers a live audiovisual experience, representing the more conceptual and abstract end of the festival&#8217;s spectrum. The &#8220;Radical Frame&#8221; presentation suggests a work that engages deeply with visual and sonic interplay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blawan\u00a0performs live, bringing his distinctive brand of visceral, texture-driven techno to the festival.\u00a0Boys Noize\u00a0appears as a DJ, representing the more high-energy, electro-influenced end of the electronic spectrum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mykki Blanco\u00a0performs live, bringing their genre-defying approach to rap, performance, and electronic music.\u00a0Marina Herlop\u00a0performs live, offering her singular Catalan-inflected experimental pop.\u00a0upsammy &amp; Valentina Magaletti\u00a0collaborate for a live performance that promises to merge experimental electronic production with percussion-driven improvisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sc\u00e8nes et zones de spectacle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The festival&#8217;s multi-venue structure means that &#8220;stages&#8221; are defined by the distinct character of each location rather than a traditional multi-stage festival layout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>DumBO<\/strong>&nbsp;functions as the primary festival hub with the most extensive programming. The industrial ex-railway yard setting allows for multiple performance areas, accommodating both large-scale DJ sets and more intimate live performances. The venue hosts the Night Pass holders across October 9 and 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ex Ospedale dei Bastardini<\/strong>&nbsp;provides an intimate, historically resonant space for the festival&#8217;s more experimental and seated performances. The former hospital&#8217;s architecture creates a unique acoustic and visual environment, particularly suited to artists like Aho Ssan, Front de Cadeaux, and No\u00e9mi B\u00fcchi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Estragon Club<\/strong>&nbsp;serves as the site for the festival&#8217;s largest single performance, Autechre, on October 10. This established Bologna venue offers professional-grade sound and lighting infrastructure for a headline event of this scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Palazzo Re Enzo<\/strong>&nbsp;hosts the September 25 event in a Renaissance-era setting that contrasts sharply with the festival&#8217;s industrial and archaeological venues. The ticket for this event grants single entry only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Parco Archeologico di Kainua<\/strong>&nbsp;hosts the September 13 outdoor opening event. The archaeological park&#8217;s ancient Etruscan ruins provide a unique backdrop for the audiovisual performances by Marta Salogni &amp; Stefano Pilia and Kevin Richard Martin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Programme \u00e9tape par \u00e9tape<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>8 October<\/strong>&nbsp;at DumBO and Ex Ospedale dei Bastardini marks the beginning of the main festival period.
