Welcome to Linecheck 2025
At the heart of Linecheck 2025 lies a powerful, transformative force: music. Not just as sound, but as a presence — a living, breathing force that shapes and changes us. This year, Linecheck expands into the wider realm of performing arts, inviting you to listen more deeply, feel more fully, and discover beauty in unexpected forms. From November 17 to 22, the festival returns to Milan and Bologna with a programme that unfolds as both a meeting for the music industry and a stage for sonic exploration — a space where new voices, bold ideas and shared experiences come to life.
