LUFF's 25th edition introduces a different way to explore the night
A new night pass links experimental performances and late screenings, alongside workshops on sound-making practices.
Lausanne Underground Film & Music Festival returns from 14 to 18 October 2026 for its 25th edition. Alongside its film and experimental-music programme, LUFF introduces a night pass intended to connect the two: from 22:00 until the end of the concerts, visitors can move between performances in the Salle des fêtes and the late screening programme.
Listening across formats
The festival also lists practical sessions including a Turntablism/CDJism lab with Soumaya Phéline and an improvisation workshop with Erica Dawn Lyle. These sit within a programme that crosses noise, electronic sound and other experimental practices rather than following the conventions of a single-genre club festival.
The new pass changes how audiences can encounter that mix at Casino de Montbenon. It does not remove capacity limits: admission remains dependent on available space, and workshops require their own registration. For Lausanne's adventurous listening community, the development is a more connected nighttime format, not merely a larger list of acts.
