October Tone Parties 2026

OTP returns on October 23 and 24, 2026 at Karmen Camina. Two evenings of concerts, guest artists and a long party, with the winter time shift turning into an extra night.

Having long scheduled it every other year, the festival now runs on an annual cadence. Each autumn, October Tone returns to Strasbourg for two evenings of concerts, partying and guest artists you won’t meet at every corner of the season.

In 2026, the OTP will take place on October 23 and 24 at Karmen Camina. For ten years we have chosen the weekend of the winter time shift; this administrative anomaly has become a temporal loophole to prolong the party.

The artists:
- Le Prince Harry (live, BE). Le Prince Harry is a synth-punk / electro-punk duo from Belgium.
- Chevreuil (live, FR). Chevreuil is a French rock duo formed in 1998 by Julien F. and Tony C. From the outset, they approached the idea of a band as a performative installation, an autonomous sculptural device dedicated to sound, space and movement, rather than a traditional rock outfit.
- Resplandor (live, NL). Resplandor is a shoegaze band based in the Netherlands, blending shoegaze with elements of post-punk and post-rock.
- Tapeworms (DJ set, JP). Patchwork club pop (Window Seat), over-compressed and saturated electro house (Pitch Pop), synth-pop ballads (Puzzle) and ambient interludes completing the album’s storytelling, all sprinkled with glitches and other sound effects.
- Cosey Mueller (live, DE). Cosey Mueller is a musician and artist currently based in Berlin. Her music is characterized by repetitive synths, melodies, explosive rhythms, an expressive voice and playful use of language.
- Palmbomen II (live, NL). Producer Palmbomen II (Kai Hugo) collaborates with various artists to release a series of EPs designed for the fictitious nightclub “Dancing & Crying.”
- Attention le tapis prend feu (live, FR). Martin Mahieu and Carla Descazals flirt with pop melodies with electronic and noisy textures. The duo today sketches a teen melancholy on the corner of a graph-paper notebook.
- Auto.Moto (live, FR). Born from the meeting of Simon Sockeel (La Houle) and Wilfried Thierry (Ego Twister, Modulisme), auto.moto could have prolonged the recent abstract works of the two artists. Between raw intensity, atmosphereic drift and hypnotic melodies, the duo’s concerts sit on a razor’s edge between power and sonic maelstrom.
- Myriam Stamoulis (DJ set, FR). DJ, musician and sound explorer, Myriam Stamoulis is as active behind the turntables as in the studio. She creates mixes where mutant sounds mingle with electronic beats.
- Hassan K. (live, FR). Hassan K is the solo project of Franco-Iranian Keyvane Alinaghi, a sound artist and defender of free digital culture. Bollywoodcore, Iranian surf music, industrial techno, swing fusion, cyber-metal, electronica, harsh noise, rock in opposition boosted by the sounds of Iran’s spiritual chivalry.
- Mara Zuli (DJ set, FR). Mara Zuli’s style comprises dub textures, incorporating acid, techno, breaks and beyond. Her sets dive into depth rather than extremes.
- KG (live, FR). KG distills dance-oriented electronic instrumentals with retro-futuristic accents.
- Ines Felicienne (DJ set, IT). Ines Felicienne is an Italian DJ and musician who favors distorted and dreamlike sounds. Her sets blend staccato rhythms, noise, post-punk and experimental electronic music.
- BBCC (live, FR). BBCC builds physical, oblique and immediate pieces. Somewhere between art-pop, post-kraut and sonic fiction, the group cultivates a singular, grotesque, theatrical and vibrant universe.
- Futur Parlé (panel discussion). On the program, a round-table to question independence today: political stance, economic constraints, a testing ground. Artists, labels and engaged voices cross their experiences to illuminate the realities of the indie scene, its tensions, its momentum and its margins.
