Headliner KASIMIR VOLT
Friday Turbine Hall
Industrial technoKick drums built to move the air in a room this size, played loud enough that the roof trusses answer back.
Fourth edition
TURBINE Three nights inside the machine
Ambient, techno and modular sound in a hall built for power.
Friday 11 – Sunday 13 June 2027
The Powerhouse, Hall E · Kraków
Genres across the three nights: industrial techno, deep ambient, drone, modular live, hardware techno, field recording, tape loops, dub techno, neoclassical electronic, percussive ambient, generative and glassy IDM. Between them, two words for the room: concrete and steel, sodium light.
Lineup
Twelve artists over three nights. Four a night, one stage at a time. Nothing you want to hear runs against anything else you want to hear.
Showing all twelve artists.

The Powerhouse, Hall E
Hall E has not made electricity since 1998. For three nights it makes something else. The building went up in 1928 to burn coal for the city; Hall E held the turbines, and their concrete plinths are still set into the floor. The main stage goes up between them.
The three rooms are not versions of one room. The Turbine Hall is the main floor: twenty-six metres up to the roof trusses and about eight seconds of reverb, which is why the slow sets are programmed here and not downstairs. The Boiler Room is two levels below ground — brick vaults, a low ceiling, iron furnace doors along one wall, and heat the crowd makes and the building keeps. The Cooling Tower is a forty-metre concrete shell with a ring of seating at the base and a deck closing the top. It is the quietest room on site, and the loudest thing in it is usually the room.
Four thousand people a night, across all three. The hall is not heated and it holds the cold: about fourteen degrees on the floor at three in the morning, in June. Bring a layer, and bring ear protection.

Before you come
Questions
Eight things people write to us about.
Doors at 19:00 on Friday and Saturday, 17:30 on Sunday. The last set ends at 04:00 on Friday and Saturday and at 02:00 on Sunday, and the hall clears half an hour later. Full set times are in the programme above.
Yes. Eighteen and over, on every night and in the workshop. We check photo ID at the gate and we do not make exceptions.
Yes, on the same night, with your wristband. The gate stops readmitting at 02:00 on Friday and Saturday and at 00:30 on Sunday. The yard between the gate and the hall is the smoking area, so you do not have to leave the site for that.
Step-free from the gate to all three stages. A lift serves the Boiler Room and the Cooling Tower balcony. The Turbine Hall has a raised viewing platform with its own bar and toilet. Accessible toilets on every level. A quiet room next to the gate stays open all night with the sound at conversation level, and ear defenders are free at the info desk. There is haze on all three stages and strobe in the Turbine Hall after midnight. Companion tickets for personal assistants are free: write to access@turbine.fm.
Photo ID, your ticket on a phone or on paper, and ear protection. Bring a layer as well: the hall is unheated and sits at about fourteen degrees at three in the morning, in June. Leave glass, professional cameras and anything larger than a small rucksack at home.
The bars and the merchandise stand take cards and phones only. If you would rather not use a card, the desk by the gate turns cash into a festival card with no fee, and refunds the balance in cash on the same night.
Nothing changes. All three stages are under cover and so is the queue. The only open ground is the yard between the gate and the hall, and that is forty metres.
Nine hundred of them by the gate, €5 a night, large enough for a coat and a rucksack. They open and close as often as you like on the same wristband. The staffed cloakroom next to them takes coats until thirty minutes after the last set.
