Pitchfork Music Festival London has announced a second wave of artists for its 2026 edition, expanding an already eclectic programme with the addition of Panda Bear & Sonic Boom, DIIV, Thaiboy Digital, Arushi Jain, Ship Sket and Charlie Osborne. The multi-venue festival returns to the UK capital from November 2 to 8, with more artists still to be announced. 

The newly confirmed acts join a first wave of artists unveiled in June, which included The Avalanches, Noname, Tortoise, Olof Dreijer, Actress, ear, Los Thuthanaka, Aja Monet, Ana Roxanne and Hania Rani. The event will once again spread across some of London’s best-known venues, including Roundhouse, KOKO, Hackney Empire, EartH, Village Underground, The Cause and the Royal Festival Hall

Among the latest additions, Panda Bear & Sonic Boom will bring their acclaimed collaborative project to the festival, while Swedish rapper Thaiboy Digital makes an appearance alongside indie rock outfit DIIV. Indian electronic producer Arushi Jain has also been added with a DJ set as part of The Avalanches’ Roundhouse event, alongside UK artists Ship Sket and Charlie Osborne.

Since launching in 2021, Pitchfork Music Festival London has developed a reputation for presenting genre-spanning lineups that blend electronic music, indie rock, experimental sounds, hip-hop and spoken word across a week of curated performances. The 2026 edition continues that approach with individually ticketed shows, special collaborations and venue takeovers throughout the city.
