Tempio Festival Returns to Milan: Octave One, Rrose, Ben Sims & More – SEPTEMBER 18–21, 2025

by the partae

After the 2024 Berlin edition, which brought together over 150 artists and 2,500 attendees in the heart of the German capital – Tempio Festival returns to Milan from September 18 to 21, with a radically inclusive alternative to commercial festivals, in one of the most unique cultural venues in Europe.

The 2nd edition of Tempio Festival will unfold across the spaces of Tempio del Futuro Perduto and Fabbrica del Vapore, spanning more than 4,000 square meters of industrial buildings, hidden gardens, and former air-raid shelters. Tempio Festival returns with Detroit techno icons Octave One (live)  leading a lineup of over 50 artists: beyond music, the festival offers wellness areas with yoga and Ayurvedic massage, plus a vibrant showcase of sustainable fashion and local crafts.

TEMPIO FESTIVAL LINEUP

On the 4D Open Air Stage, legendary Detroit duo Octave One will perform live, joined by avant-garde luminary Rrose, techno pioneer Ben Sims, Berlin favorite Mell G, electro innovator The Exaltics, and pianist/composer Fabrizio Rat, with his mind-bending hybrid set of prepared piano and analog machines. Completing the lineup also Italo-disco Norwegian maestro Skatebård, Venezuelan-born Hyperaktivist and DJ Sweet6teen. Also on deck: a rare b2b between Slin & Frederic, plus standout sets from Italian talents like Elisa BeeDiora MadamaIrideDolce Potente, and other rising names reshaping the national scene.

PERFORMANCES AND OPEN CLASSES: THE “SALA NERA PROGRAM”

From Micelio, an immersive long-durational performance by Maria Combi – former performer for Marina Abramovic in Zürich – to new works by Esenco Dance Movement, founded by Cassandra Bianco and Antonella Albanese, this program merges local roots with global visions. It explores ritual, identity, and collective transformation through dance. Silvia Fontana’s Gran Rito della Catena investigates archetypal femininity in a spiritual key. Esenco’s In-Simbio and I’M NOT A GHOST delve into mutualism and the tension between presence and absence. Workshops and open classes deepen body awareness, blending yoga, contemporary techniques, and improvisation.

Founded as a cultural occupation in 2018, the Tempio del Futuro Perduto is now a legally recognized autonomous space with over 100,000 annual members. This coming September marks the second edition of Tempio Festival, following its debut last August at Alte Münze, the former Berlin State Mint, now one of Europe’s most important cultural centers.
