Pitchfork Festival London announced a second wave of indie and electronic acts joining its 2026 lineup, adding names across several of the festival's London venues for the week of November 2 to 8. Panda Bear and Sonic Boom will join the Avalanches at the festival's Roundhouse headline show on November 6, with a guest DJ set from Arushi Jain also added to that bill, while DIIV will top the Dalston Takeover the following night, November 7, alongside Mandy, Indiana, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets and Working Men's Club.
The rest of the second wave spreads across smaller venues: Nirosta Steel will perform at the ICA, Bassvictim headlines the Troxy, and Thaiboy Digital tops Village Underground, all on the festival's final weekend. Additional newly confirmed acts include Touching Ice, Charlie Osborne, Ship Sket, Sarah Meth, Sex Mask, Rockie Rode, Robert Lester Folsom, Star Moles, the Healing Power of Horses, Any Young Mechanic and Sean Solomon, filling out bills across the week.
They join a lineup already led by Ear, Tortoise, Aja Monet, Los Thuthanaka, Olof Dreijer, Hania Rani, the Radio Dept, Actress and Noname, with Noname's Roundhouse date on November 7 also featuring Georgia Anne Muldrow.
The festival's structure sprawls across roughly a dozen London venues over its full week, from Roundhouse and the Troxy to smaller rooms like the ICA, Village Underground, KOKO, Hackney Empire, Hackney Church and EartH, plus a dedicated "Pitchfork London Selects" sub-series at MOTH spotlighting more under-the-radar acts. The run closes November 8 with a solo performance from Hania Rani at Royal Festival Hall.
