Pitchfork Music Festival London 2026 announces line up: ticket details and more
7 days, 10+ venues, dozens of acts
Pitchfork is taking over a bunch of London’s top music venues later this year for the Pitchfork Music Festival London, and the first (massive) wave of acts has been announced.
A few names that jump out at us immediately include The Avalanches, Jacob Alon, Actress, Tortoise and Psychedelic Porn Crumpets. You can check out the full list of announced acts below, but let’s deal with some of the key Pitchfork Music Festival London details first.
The festival runs from 2nd November to 8th November this year, and tickets go on sale later this week on 12th June at 10am.
Pitchfork has partnered up with DICE for ticketing, and tickets are sold per event — with pricing varying by act and venue.
For example, you’ll pay £43.04 for a ticket to The Avalanches at the Roundhouse or £27.25 for ear at The Cause on 5th November. All ticket costs have been published over at DICE already, so have a look.
If you’re here for a real festival flavour, the Dalston Takeover on Saturday 7th November is want you want. This day of music begins at 6pm, and sees Pitchfork take over EartH, Shacklewell Arms, The Victoria, Cafe OTO and St Matthias Church. Doors open at 4:30pm.
Tickets for the Dalston Takeover cost £42.11, and it’s headlined by Psychedelic Porn Crumpets.
