Pitchfork Music Festival London is, by our reckoning, one of the top music festivals in the UK right now. Since launching in November 2021, the multi-venue, week-ish-long event has firmly established itself in the capital’s annual festival calendar, known for its eclectic lineups, high-spec production and yearly takeover of Dalston’s greatest music venues.
On November 2-8 2026 Pitchfork Music Festival London will return for its sixth edition. This week it’s revealed the lineup and it’s huge. Well, huge if you’re a music geek and/or avid Pitchfork reader.
As before, the festival will be set up as a series of individually ticketed events. Participating venues include EartH, Café OTO, Hackney Church, MOTH Club, Roundhouse, The Cause and Royal Festival Hall (several of which are on our lists of the top live music venues in London and the greatest independent music joints in Britain).
On the bill are producer Actress (Darren J Cunningham) performing a ‘Radical Frame’ live show at EartH Theatre, legendary Aussie plunderphonic duo The Avalanches at the Roundhouse, rapper Noname celebrating 10 years of her breakout record Telefone (also at the Roundhouse) and BRITs Critics’ Choice Award winner Jacob Alon at Hackney Empire.
Dedicated Pitchfork-heads will be ecstatic to hear that post-rock innovators Tortoise are also in the first wave of artists announced, as are the Knife’s Olof Dreijer and creators of the publication’s 2025 album of the year Los Thuthanaka.
