C2C NYC 2026

Avant-pop, experimental, and electro takeover at Knockdown Center.

C2C Festival returns to the Knockdown Center in Queens for its second North American edition, marking the 25th anniversary of the long running Italian avant pop and experimental music event. The festival utilizes three stages across the venue, incorporating both indoor and outdoor spaces to host a diverse lineup of international artists. Programming focuses on cross genre aesthetics and transglobal scenes, featuring performances from Arca, Avalon Emerson and the Charm, Nourished by Time, and others. The event maintains a curatorial perspective rooted in experimental sound, art, and technology, extending the vision of its flagship Turin edition into the New York cultural landscape.
