For this fourth iteration, the ongoing partnership between CTM Festival and ICA London deepens our explorations into the friction and fusion of live sound, art and bodily performance. The collaborative program features artists who reject static categories, reinforcing our shared dedication to nurturing radical creative dialogues. This upcoming edition brings together a powerful lineup of intense sonic and physical performers. With: Tyondai Braxton, Cyst, Alpha Maid, Europa, and Rian Treanor with Rotherham Sight & Sound. Supported by the Goethe-Institut London.

September 24th features Tyondai Braxton’s complex orchestral electronics and the community-driven synth collaboration between Rian Treanor and the Rotherham Sight & Sound initiative. Our September 25th night showcases mutation through Cyst's digital beats, Alpha Maid's indie-punk and dub, and Europa's audio-visual transit work. This two-night CTM x ICA 2026 programme explores themes of reconstruction and sonic metamorphosis, where avant-garde composition merges with the rhythms of the club.
