AUDIODROME
Why you should go: One of the most avant-garde and renowned venues in Turin is undoubtedly Audiodrome Live Club. Built on the foundations of an old industrial factory, just a few steps from the centre of Moncalieri, the club boasts a very underground atmosphere.
Although it was born with the aim of promoting rock music, it offers a wide variety of shows ranging from electronic music to rap and hip hop.

The room is capable of holding up to a thousand attendees and has a high quality lighting and sound system.

AZIMUT
Why you should go: Active since the 80s as a discotheque, the old brick building at Via Modena 55 opened its doors to young clubbers when the neighbourhood was still far from any creative discovery. Today, the club reopens its doors with a new management and an original programme with the aim of becoming the place to listen to high quality sessions (artistic and sound with an FK1 system), attracting also fans from out of town.
Today Azimut presents itself with a new identity, targeting an attentive and transversal audience (from millennials to die-hard fans). The room is divided into several spaces, from the large Silver, an industrial amphitheatre surrounding the booth, to the intimate and dazzling Gold enhanced by its golden and shiny touches.
Atmosphere: At Azimut you’ll find ravers who know what they’re about. Their laser and neon show will make you fall in love with the place.
