MUTEK Montréal has revealed the complete lineup for its 27th edition, running August 25–30 across the Quartier des Spectacles in downtown Montréal. The full programme now spans more than 120 artists from 28 countries across 18 programmes, with the latest additions including Kali Malone, Kara-Lis Coverdale, Debit, Zora Jones, Poirier, Julian Sartorius, Jump Source, Ah! Kosmos and Hainbach, and CUERPOS.
The festival spreads across 5 distinct series. The Nocturne Series at Society for Arts and Technology hosts late-night sets from Barker, Purelink with Mika Oki, gyrofield, and Mia Koden. The X/Visions Series takes over Maison symphonique for 3 nights of contemporary composition and experimental electronics, featuring Voices From The Lake and Kali Malone. MTELUS hosts 2 all-night Métropolis sessions with Ben UFO, Facta, Jeff Mills, and Polygonia. Les Grands Ballets’ Studio-Theatre joins the festival for the first time, hosting the Play Series dedicated to audiovisual performance. The Esplanade Tranquille continues its open-air strand with nightly performances from 5 pm.
The 2026 programme has been shaped with each venue’s specific architecture and atmosphere in mind. Artistic director Alain Mongeau pointed to the return to Maison symphonique as a meaningful milestone: “The only time MUTEK has taken over the Maison symphonique was back in 2013, during a memorable evening featuring Nils Frahm and Pantha du Prince and The Bell Laboratory. It is a moment that still resonates.”
Ahead of the festival, MUTEK has organized a takeover at New York’s Wire Festival on May 14 at Knockdown Center, and AVANT MUTEK, a Toronto pop-up, lands May 30 at Mooi Space featuring Satoshi Tomiie and others.
