Pitchfork Festival London has added another substantial wave of artists to its 2026 programme, strengthening a week already built around adventurous independent and experimental music in indie rock.
The festival runs from 2 to 8 November across numerous London venues, allowing each bill to develop its own character rather than forcing every performer onto one enormous site. DIIV will now headline the Dalston Takeover alongside Mandy, Indiana, Working Men’s Club, Midwife and Psychedelic Porn Crumpets. Panda Bear and Sonic Boom will appear with The Avalanches at the Roundhouse, while Arushi Jain joins that event for a DJ set.
Other additions include Thaiboy Digital, Nirosta Steel, Touching Ice, Sarah Meth and Sex Mask. They join an existing programme featuring Tortoise, The Radio Dept., Noname, Actress, Olof Dreijer, Hania Rani and Aja Monet. The result is a city-wide festival that feels less like a conventional industry showcase and more like a carefully connected series of individual musical worlds.
