Most of MUTEK events will take place at the MTELUS venue, at the Théâtre Maisonneuve at Place des Arts and at the Société des arts technologies (SAT). The New City Gas will host for a second year three concerts on August 21, including Film Scores for No One: a Project by Patrick Watson. The Montreal musician will present this new instrumental work with modular synthesizers along with several guest surprises.

MUTEK also invites its festivalgoers every evening to the Esplanade Tranquille for free open-air shows. In 2023, nearly 46,000 showed up.

The final musicians participating in MUTEK's 25th anniversary will be announced this summer.
